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

NAME
     filewatcherd -- run commands in response to file changes

SYNOPSIS
     filewatcherd [-dh] [-w delay_ms] watchtab

DESCRIPTION
     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 options are as follows:

     -d, --foreground
	  Don't fork to background and log to stderr.

     -h, --help
	  Display help text.

     -w delay_ms, --wait delay_ms
	  Wait that number of milliseconds after watchtab changes before reload-
	  ing it.

     "Kerensikova" Porte.
