I don't think they would work, fix me if incorrect
Instead, I Just found the "realpath" command in OS X and Linux, which could test whether the real paths of the source folder and target folder are identical.

lsyncd
LSYNCD(1) Lsyncd LSYNCD(1)
NAME
lsyncd - a daemon to continuously synchronize directory trees
SYNOPSIS
config file
*lsyncd* [OPTIONS] CONFIG-FILE
default rsync behaviour
*lsyncd* [OPTIONS] -rsync SOURCEDIR TARGET ...
default rync+ssh bevahiour (moves and deletes through ssh)
*lsyncd* [OPTIONS] -rsyncssh SOURCEDIR TARGETHOST TARGETDIR ...
default direct bevahiour (local file operations/rsync)
*lsyncd* [OPTIONS] -direct SOURCEDIR TARGETDIR ...
DESCRIPTION
Lsyncd(1) watches local directory trees through an event monitor interface (inotify, fsevents). It aggregates and combines events for a few
seconds and then spawns one or more processes to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync(1). Lsyncd is thus a light-weight
asynchronous live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or blockdevices and does not hamper
local filesystem performance.
Rsync+ssh is an advanced action configuration that uses a SSH(1) to act file and directory moves directly on the target instead of
retransmitting the move destination over the wire.
Fine-grained customization can be achieved through the CONFIG-FILE. Custom action configs can even be written from scratch in cascading
layers ranging from shell scripts to code written in the LUA(1) language. This way simplicity can be balanced with powerfulness. See the
online manual for details on the CONFIG-FILE http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/wiki/Lsyncd20Manual
Note that under normal configuration Lsyncd will delete pre-existing files in the target directories that are not present in the respective
source directory.
OPTIONS
-delay SECS
Overrides the default delay times.
-help
Show a help message.
-insist
Continues startup even if a startup rsync cannot connect.
-log LEVEL
Controls which kind of events are logged. By default Lsyncd logs Normal and Error Messages. -log scarce will make Lsyncd log Error
messages only. -log all will log all debug messages.
-log Category
Turns on a specific debug message. E.g. -log Exec will log all processes as they are spawned.
-nodaemon
Lsyncd will not detach from the invoker and log as well to stdout/err.
-pidfile FILE
Lsyncd will write its process ID in FILE.
-runner FILE
Makes the Lsyncd core load the part of Lsyncd written in Lua from FILE.
-version
Writes version information and exits.
EXIT STATUS
0
Terminated on a TERM signal(7)
-1
Failure (syntax, unrecoverable error condition, internal failure)
