Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?
I've discovered inotify-tools and lsyncd as options and POC proves that it's possible to detect filesystem changes on a shared emptydir in a pod. Now it's just time to truly prove it out.

Here's the tool that automatically restarting your process when file changes in the selected directory
How's it different from inotify (or inotify-tools)?
- Using NFS in a distributed synchronous processing

I made a UNIX-style program to run commands every time a file is updated!
I use inotfy-tools within a makefile to watch my source tex files and retrigger a recompile while manuscripting.

Stop a container from another one
I've found a library which reacts to filesystem events (https://github.com/inotify-tools/inotify-tools/wiki) and I think it could be used for that.

Do you use perl? Should I bother with it?
inotify-tools is available in arch (community repo), provides inotifywait and inotifywatch, hope that's close enough
-
Is there something that monitors your code as you're working and re-executes it on the command line every time it notices a change?
inotify-tools should be able to help, you can use inotifywait to watch for file system changes in a directory and run a command when something changes.

Preordered the Libra 2
- It is likely that NickelMenu and KFMon will be updated to support the Libra2 and Sage. You can use them to launch custom software like KOReader, an alternate reader that gives more flexibility to PDFs.
-
Koreader installed but a lot of image files flood in my books?
NOTE: Another thing that bears repeating is that on FW >= 4.17, you'll probably also want to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders. And you'll want to tweak your config before unplugging your device (i.e., before installing this; or, if you've just upgraded your FW, during the first USB connection after the update).
-
Is there any way to better organize books?
Oh and step 4.( On FW >= 4.17, you'll need to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders) from the link i sent you might be bit confusing to understand on first reading. Basicaly after you done the previous steps, before ejecting the reader you just open your config file which is /Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf , find line [FeatureSettings] , and under it paste this ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+) . It will prevent default reader(nickel) indexing the system files in koreader hidden folder as books.
