# GWatchD - Watcher Daemon

## Description

GWatchD uses inotify/kqueue to monitor file system events. If an event occur, it executes processes (called "job") assigned to directory in which watcher reported any change.

Each job is a plugin which has own config file located in `config/job` dir with name like `.json`, for example `synchronize.json`. Daemon also has own config file: `config/config.json`.

Logs can be found in `logs` and `logs/job` dirs. Daemon and plugins have separate log files (just like config files).

## Available jobs

- [**Command**](https://github.com/gorzechowski/gwatchd/blob/master/docs/command-job.md)

- [**Synchronize**](https://github.com/gorzechowski/gwatchd/blob/master/docs/synchronize-job.md)

Optional properties:

| Property                                  | Description                                |

| ----------------------------------------: | ------------------------------------------ |

| log.maxFileSize ``: 5120         | Max size of daemon log file in kilobytes   |

| log.dirPath ``: logs              | Path where daemon and jobs logs are stored |
