inotify-hookable main advantage over inotywait are: - you can specify command to run after watch as option. - watch are restarted - when watching a directory, inotify-hookable ignore emacs and backup files by default. - you can specify different commands to run depending on which files was changed inotifywait is better suited to be used within a shell script. inotify-hookable is better when you just want to run something on the command line. I currently use the following command to compile a bunch of less files into a css file. The css file and the less file are located in the same directory: inotify-hookable -w . -i '.*css$' -c '../../enyo/tools/lessc.sh ./package.js' HTH -- https://github.com/dod38fr/ -o- http://search.cpan.org/~ddumont/ http://ddumont.wordpress.com/ -o- irc: dod at irc.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
