 I found myself in the following loop:


Repeat
    Edit 1 or more  files.
    Run ttree
    View changes in browser
Until (hellFreezesOver

fswatch is a small utility (linux, *bsd, unix, mac) that watches a
directory or list of files for changes.

So the following works:

 fswatch -o tt2 | xargs -n1 -I{} ttree -f .ttreerc

The -o option just prints how many files changed.  I don't care how many
changed.  Whenever a file changes, it will run ttree.

I have not verified what ttree will do  if it has overlapping executions.
Anyway, this eliminates one step of the loop, and makes it much easier to
edit remotely.



Regards

Sherwood
