fswatcher monitors a file or a directory for changes and runs a given command when the file is modified. If monitoring a directory, it runs the specified command when any file in the directory tree is modified.

This is a really thin layer on top of the fsnotify library. It works on Linux, OS X and other BSDs, and Windows (untested).

Usage:

fswatcher --path <file/directory to watch> <command to run> [arguments to command]
