inotifywait– wait for changes to files using inotify
inotifywait efficiently waits for changes to files using Linux’s inotify(7) interface. It is suitable for waiting for changes to files from shell scripts. It can either exit once an event occurs, or continually execute and output events as they occur.
inotifywait -mr ~/Dropbox

Thanks for another great season of Podcasts. And thanks to Laura for all those years. I’m still sad to see her go, but also excited to hear who you will present in the next season as a new member of the team.
A wealth of discussion for 2017.
How was the curry evening ?
Love your show guys and looking forward to the next season. All the best to Laura.

Nonetheless having hundreds of credit remaining to burn on this fraud that the corporate will not refund you it doesn’t matter what you’ll be able to show, I tried one ultimate check and provided her to pick any tutor from Preply (one thing I can verify) that any honest or even cheap particular person should at the very least consider however after all not Alina Tkachuk.
