vimes: Commander of the Watch
vimes is a command-line utility that monitors files and directories
for changes, and triggers execution of user-defined commands according
to what changed. What to watch, and what to do when changes are detected,
is specified in a simple configuration file (./Watchfile by default).
vimes was inspired by watchr, but is platform agnostic and uses
standard UNIX shell commands to specify actions.
Installation
vimes requires Node (version 0.6 or above). Once that is installed,
vimes is installed with Node's npm command:
npm install -g vimes
Getting Started
vimes reads a configuration file (./Watchfile by default)
Documentation

man vimes vimes-watchfile
Also available online.
