  • inotify-tools

    Discontinued inotify-tools is a C library and a set of command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify. [Moved to: https://github.com/inotify-tools/inotify-tools] (by rvoicilas)

  • There are various command line interfaces to th Linux inotify functionality... I've used inotify-tools in the past. https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki/

  • fsnotify

    Discontinued Cross-platform file system notifications for Go.

  • I think you can try fsnotify altrough you will need Go do build the cmd part. Once built you can attach it folder and pipe output to other command.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
