  • inotify-rs

    Idiomatic inotify wrapper for the Rust programming language

  • If you want to have some long running program that constantly watches the file then there is the inotify crate, but I don't know if there is an async equivalent

  • checkexec

    CLI tool to conditionally execute commands only when files in a dependency list have been updated. Like `make`, but standalone.

  • Are you just trying to look at file modified time stamps? checkexec might be what you’re after.
