fwatchd - A file watching daemon

fwatchd can be controlled using fwatchctl, which may instruct fwatchd to track files and perform some action based on inotify events on that file.

Create fwatchd user

bash usermod -aG fwatch $USER useradd -r -d / -c "File watching daemon" -s /usr/bin/nologin fwatch

Example Usage

```bash systemctl enable fwatch systemctl start fwatch

fwatchctl track /tmp/example ```

Customizing usage of the event

```bash fwatchd --foreground

fwatchctl track /tmp/example --alias /usr/bin/echo --script /usr/bin/cat" echo "test" >> /tmp/example fwatchctl list ```
