Allow watching symlinks

[expipiplus1]

Hi,

I have a symlink /some/path pointing somewhere. There is always a binary at /some/path/bin/exe. I'd like to terminate the process at /some/path/bin/exe and start the new binary at /some/path/bin/exe whenever the symlink at /some/path is swapped. I was hoping to do this with echo /some/path | entr -r /some/path/bin/exe however entr complains that there are No regular files to watch.

Is what I want to do possible?

I realize that this is a really old issue, but just in case you are still interested and did not notice that your feature request is in the wrong place here - the actual repo where entr is maintained is here: https://bitbucket.org/eradman/entr

Ah thanks I hadn't realised. Feel free to close this if you want.

I'm not the maintainer here either, just another entr user like you, who fell into the same trap. I can't close this ticket. You can close it yourself, though :)
