# Overview

A command line utility to watch and monitor for the existence of a specific term in the contents of a file. If the term is not found in the file the specified bash command gets executed.

# Installation

Currently the installation is done by:

1. Cloning this repo

2. Checking if Rust is installed: `make check_rust`. If rust is not installed this will download and install it

3. Running `make install`

A `crates.io` release is planned.

# Usage

Run `watchmon --file  --text-term  --command `. Use the `-s` flag to indicate that you want to watch special system files (see https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/421). For more info use `watchmon --help`.
