Watchexec ignore directory?
Hi, I am using Watchexec (https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/releases) to monitor folder changes, but I want to exclude some folders. What parameter should I use to perform the route exclusions?
-
How to automatically extract all zip files downloaded to certain directory?

My first actual Rust program: Cloak, a simple app to search and watch directories to automatically hide files and directories
There's something similar to this called watchexec, which you can have a look at https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

What "nice-to-have" CLI tools do you know?
watchexec
-
is there a plugin to run any file (.py .js .java etc.) and display the output?
I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.
-
[Paid Bounty-$20 in Bitcoin!] Persistent - Watchfolder() dir, if files contains word "apple" in name, make file Read only.
OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

How to automatically run a command when directory updates?
I prefer watchexec as it's cross-platform.

Entr: Rerun your build when files change
I’ve been a happy user of watchexec[0] for the past few months but Entr seems cool.

MakeMake: Generate make files from C source code
Or even better, fswatch (https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch) which works on Linux, BSDs, macOS, Windows, and even Solaris
-
Are there any CLIs or good ways on macOS to real-time / continuously sync two folders on the same drive?
If you don’t mind shell shell scripting you can use something like fswatch and some shell logic to do something similar.

File System Watcher
Well, I am not too lazy to search but I was interested in your experience, especially with reliability.
This one looks interesting: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

Kubernetes Reload/Restart pod on file changes
What about using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch ?

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
The required kernel hooks exist in pretty much any common OS these days, it is a user-space tool that is sometimes missing.
It may not be installed by default, but inotifywait is available in common Linux distributions, usually in a package called something like ionotify-tools, and has been for over a decade-ana-half IIRC. It'll work under WSL on Windows too, though only for ext4 devices not bits of the Windows filesystem made available to Linux.
I can't speak to what other OSs include by default, but as every major OS has a different API for defining how to register a lister and how it gets messages no built-in tool is going to be cross platform. There are third party tools which present more cross-platform consistency, most notably https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch#readme (also available in common Linux distros, just an apt install away in Debian for instance).

Build a Rails script watcher/runner using fswatch
fswatch is a cross-platform file change monitor. It will watch any files you specify, then run a script on change.
- Is there a way to trigger an action when a file is transfered via another computer?
-
Script only runs when it sees new file that fits criteria help needed
You can do this without polling using a util like fswatch: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

GhostSCAD: Marrying OpenSCAD and Golang
> It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically
inotify() is awesome. Here's a library in python that does it.
https://michaelcho.me/article/using-pythons-watchdog-to-moni...
There's also inotifywatch on linux and fswatch on mac. I'm sure there's alternatives for BSD Unix and Windows, but I care the least about those OS's.

Optimizing templates
For development it's easy to just ParseFiles before every Execute to be sure you have the latest version. But for production something else is needed, fx watch for changes in files and have this trigger a reload (fx using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch).
What are some alternatives?
entr - Run arbitrary commands when files change
inotify-tools - inotify-tools is a C library and a set of command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify.
watchman - Watches files and records, or triggers actions, when they change.
semver - Semantic Versioning Specification
systemd-manager
HomeBrew - 🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
inotify-rs - Idiomatic inotify wrapper for the Rust programming language
coreutils - Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
concurr - Performs distributed command execution, written in Rust w/ Tokio
