fmonitor

This tool monitors changes to monitored paths.
Notifies when the specified file has been created, removed, renamed, rewritten, or changed in permission.

Installation

$ go get github.com/XapiMa/fmonitor/cmd/fmonitor

or

$ git clone https://github.com/XapiMa/fmonitor.git
$ go build ./fmonitor/cmd/fmonitor

Usage

Write config.yml

Write config.yml that defines the path to be monitored, the depth to search recursively, and the event to be monitored.

• path
  • can not be omitted
• depth
  • default 0
  • When depth is -1, it recursively infinitely
• event
  • default create|remove|write|rename|permission
  • The available events are:
    • create
    • remove
    • rename
    • write
    • permission
  • You can set multiple events separated by |

ex.

- path: path/to/file
  depth: 0
  event: remove|write|rename|permission
- path: path/to/dire1/
  depth: 1
  event: remove|rename|permission
- path: path/to/dire2/
  depth: -1

Execution

$ fmonitor -t path/to/config.yml

If you want to write the result to a file:

$ fmonitor -t path/to/config.yml -o /path/to/output/file

Usage of fmonitor:
    -o string
            output file path. If not set, it will be output to standard output
    -t string
            path to config.yml (default "In the same directory as the executable file")

Problem

In darwin the following command can not be judged correctly

• mkdir -p a/b/c
• mkdir a a/b a/b/c
• rm -rf a n the directory structure a/b/c
  • This case judged as follows
    • remove a/b/c
    • modify a/b
    • modify a/b/c
