iwatch for Cent OS 6

[Tantrumedia]

Hi...

I notice that the VERY useful iwatch tool isn't in the RPM ready for use in CentOS 6.x

How likely / easy to achieve is this?

Kind regards,
Tim.

Unfortunately the name 'iwatch' has been overtaken by a rather fruity company so it's no longer possible to tell from the 10 million hits on google exactly what your iwatch utility does (or did). Perhaps there are alternatives if you explain what it does.

Googling for "iwatch + linux" brings up http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/, but unfortunately it is offline at the moment. There is an ancient (0.2.2) rpm from 2011 http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... h.rpm.html but I would be wary of installing it at that age.

Right, so there are lots of packages that provide similar functionality that are in various yum repos. Running yum search inotify returns a list of possibles and I'd also recommend to look at lsyncd and see if that can do what you want.
