# Reloader

> Reloader can accelerate web development by automatically refreshing your pages (in multiple browsers) when a file is locally modified. If a css file is modified, only stylsheets are reloaded.

### Deps:

``` sh
$ pip install twisted
$ pip install pyinotify
```

- the rest should already be installed

### Usage:

Start the server:

``` sh
$ python reloader.py --path /var/www/projectdir/ --strict
```
Add this tag to your html:

``` html

```

### Options:

```
usage: reloader.py [-h] [-p PATH] [-s] [-v]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH, --path PATH the directory to monitor
-s, --strict only watch: css xml html php js asp png jpeg jpg gif
-v, --verbose
```

### Tested Browsers:

* firefox 4
* chrome 11
* internet explorer 7
* safari 3
* opera 11

### Note:

I wrote this several years ago and better alternatives now exist.
