const Entr = require('entr.cli');

new Entr({
	cwd: path.resolve('./index.js'), // file/dir to watch
	exec: ['cat', 'index.js'], // command to run
	reload: false, // should it track and kill last process
	postpone: false, // should it run on start
	exclude: null, // regex to exclude files to watch
	include: null, // regex to include files to watch
	eval: false // run exec in 'sh -c "cat index.js"'
