fswatcher

📌 Overview

fswatcher is a simple CLI tool to monitor file changes and execute a command when modifications are detected. It is built with Rust and utilizes the notify crate for efficient filesystem event watching.

🚀 Installation

You can install fswatcher using Cargo:

cargo install fswatcher

🛠 Usage

Run fswatcher by specifying a file to watch and a command to execute when the file changes:

fswatcher <file> <command>

Example:

fswatcher config.yaml 'echo "Config changed!"'

This will monitor config.yaml and print "Config changed!" whenever the file is modified.

✨ Features

• Watches a specified file for changes
• Executes a command automatically upon file modification
• Uses a lock mechanism to prevent same command duplicate execution

🔧 Development

Clone the repository and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/jmarcelomb/fswatcher.git
cd fswatcher
cargo build --release

Run the tool with:

cargo run -- <file> <command>
