The program is made the moire simple possible, to leave the room to unlimited
uses. Be creative !
+Every event raised by inotify is handled. Just sum them up to watch multiple
+event at the same time. Here is the full table:
+(see inotify(1) for a better explanation of those events)
+
+ IN_ACCESS ........ 1
+ IN_MODIFY ........ 2
+ IN_ATTRIB ........ 4
+ IN_CLOSE_WRITE ... 8
+ IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE . 16
+ IN_OPEN .......... 32
+ IN_MOVED_FROM .... 64
+ IN_MOVED_TO ...... 128
+ IN_CREATE ........ 256
+ IN_DELETE ........ 512
+ IN_DELETE_SELF ... 1024
+ IN_MOVE_SELF ..... 2048
+
+To watch for both creation AND deletion in a directory, do some math:
+
+ 256 + 512 = 768
+
+then, pass that value to wendy so that she can watch after both of them (did I
+just say 'she'?).
+
+For more convenience, the IN_CREATE, IN_DELETE and IN_MODIFY events are bound to
+(respectively) -C, -D and -M.
+
Here are some examples:
# Tell me whenever I have a new mail
- wendy -C ~/mails/INBOX/new -t 60 -e espeak "You got a new mail"
+ wendy -C -d ~/mails/INBOX/new -t 60 -e espeak "You got a new mail"
# On-the-fly recompilation
- wendy -M -f ~/src/dev/program/source.c -t 1 -e make
+ wendy -M -q -d ~/src/dev/program/ -f source.c -t 1 -e make
+ # or eventually
+ wendy -l | grep -i close_write
+ IN_CLOSE_WRITE ... 8
+ wendy -m 8 -q -d ~/src/dev/program/ -f source.c -t 1 -e make
+
# Get up to date with community based projects
- wendy -DMC -f /mnt/nfs/project/ -t 30 -e notify-send 'project updated'
+ wendy -D -M -C -d /mnt/nfs/project/ -t 30 -e notify-send 'project updated'
