Hi All,
I am thinking about an idea, but it requires that I be able to watch several directories for files that are added, deleted or maybe changed.
Let start with adding files. What tools are available for me to watch a directory. In an example, if a file is added to a directory I want to run a shell script that will do some conversation on the file to produce a second copy.
I have the shell scripting down, I am not sure how to watch, realize change and kick off the script with the parameters of the directory and what was added.
Would anyone have thoughts?
