De acordo com Gilles em Super Usuário :
Simple, using inotifywait (install your distribution's
inotify-toolspackage):while inotifywait -e close_write myfile.py; do ./myfile.py; doneThis has a big limitation: if some program replaces
myfile.pywith a different file, rather than writing to the existingmyfile,inotifywaitwill die. Most editors work that way.To overcome this limitation, use
inotifywaiton the directory:while true; do change=$(inotifywait -e close_write,moved_to,create .) change=${change#./ * } if [ "$change" = "myfile.py" ]; then ./myfile.py; fi done
