inotify-logger

Log inotify events in a friendly way

Features

  • Recursively watches existing and newly added files and directories in the current directory.
  • Groups MOVED_FROM and MOVED_TOevents into a single MOVE event when possible.
  • Prints only a (currently hard-coded) subset of inotify events, for ease of reading.
  • Prints an inactivity ruler after one second with no new events, visually grouping events.

It can then be started in the directory to watch for events:

inotify-logger

Configuration

inotify-logger does not currently feature any configuration. It may later support configuring parts of its behavior through command-line arguments.

Compatibility
