Hello.
I have a script which monitors a directory and wakes up as soon as a new
file appears.
I'm using sysutils/wait_on for this, but this port expired a few days ago.
Is there a drop in replacement? Any other suggestion?
Hello.
Thanks to anyone who answered.
Since wait_on is back in the port tree, I'm sticking with it and I
didn't try any of the suggestions; however I'll try to summarize, in
case this could be helpful to others.
_ Gamin: I might be wrong, by AFAICT it's a library, not a ready to use
solution;
_ filewatcherd: as I said, I didn't try it, but from the description it
watches for changes to a file, not a directory;
_ I also found sysutil/watchfolder, which might be what I was looking
for; again, I preferred not touch anything and stayed with wait_on, so I
can't tell anything more.
bye
