Detect and run command upon mouse movement

I am trying to find a way to run a command upon any movement of a mouse.

The 1st statement shows the mouse co-ordinates. So it can detect mouse movement.

Code:
xinput test 9

First list input devices:

Code:
$ xinput list

If possible, I would like to use it in a bash script.
