Aalekh Patel
Run a (debounced) command upon changes to the filesystem.
USAGE:
run-when [OPTIONS] --file <FILE> --command-file <COMMAND_FILE>
OPTIONS:
-c, --command-file <COMMAND_FILE>
An executable to run once a change is detected
-f, --file <FILE>
The file/directory to watch. If a directory is specified, will watch all files in it
(but not recursively, unless -r is also specified)
-h, --help
Print help information
-r, --recursive
Whether to watch a directory recursively
-t, --debounce-period <DEBOUNCE_PERIOD>
The debounce period (i.e. wait for a duration of X before running the specified
executable) [default: 600ms]
-V, --version
Print version information
Examples
- Watch the
src
directory for changes and once every600ms
run the build script stored inbuild.sh
.
Suppose the contents of build.sh
are:
#!/usr/bin/sh
cargo build --release
Then we can run the following to start a watcher on the src
directory and all children files recursively.
run-when --file src --recursive --command-file ./build.sh
