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 re-
	    loading it.

SEE ALSO
