watch-exec
v1.2.2 watch watchfile task tool cli
watch-exec
Run a specified command when any files in the target directory change.
Installation
$ npm install -g watch-exec
Usage
$ watch-exec -c [command] -w [path]
Notifications
To use the --notify
flag for desktop notifications when the command completes or fails, you will need to have Growl notifications available to NodeJS.
- Mac OS X (Darwin):
brew install terminal-notifier
- Ubuntu (Linux):
sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
- Windows:
- Download and install Growl for Windows.
- Download growlnotify and (important) unpack it to a folder in your path.
If these instructions are not working correctly, check the installation steps for node-growl, which is used internally by watch-exec.
Thanks to @naholyr for adding support for notifications!
