Thanks. I've got the general idea.
Package inotify-utils is installed. Suppose ~/.bashrc ends with these 5 lines.
exec while 1 do
if (inotifywait -e modify ~/control.sh) = 0
then { chmod u+x ~/control.sh; ~/control.sh; } > controlresult
fi
done
Whenever a fresh version of control.sh is put into ~ it is executed with
results kept in controlresult.
Any further tips before I shoot myself in the foot?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
