FILEWATCHERD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual FILEWATCHERD(8)

filewatcherd —
run commands in response to file changes

filewatcherd [-dh] [-w delay_ms] watchtab

filewatcherd is a daemon inspired by cron, that run commands based on file changes instead of time. In principle it is similar to incron, but it's simpler, more limited, and does not depend on anything outside of FreeBSD base.

watchtab describes which paths and what events to watch, and commands to run when triggered.

The following options are supported by filewatcherd:
, --foreground
Don't fork to background and log to stderr.
, --help
Display help text.
delay_ms, --wait delay_ms
Wait that number of milliseconds after watchtag changes before reloading it.
