iwatch

IWATCH(1)						      General Commands Manual							 IWATCH(1)

NAME

       iwatch - a realtime filesystem monitor / monitor any changes in directories/files specified

SYNOPSIS

       iwatch [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the iwatch command.  iWatch is a realtime filesystem monitoring program. It's a simple perl script to
       monitor changes in specific directories/files and send email notification immediately. It reads the dir/file list from xml config file  and
       needs inotify support in kernel (Linux Kernel >= 2.6.13).

OPTIONS

       Usage for daemon mode of iWatch:

       iwatch [-d] [-f <config file>] [-v] [-p <pid file>]

       In the daemon mode iWatch has the following options:

       -d     Execute the application as daemon. iWatch will run in foregroud without this option.

       -f <configfile.xml>
	      Specify alternative configuration file. Default is /etc/iwatch/iwatch.xml.

       -p <pidfile>
	      Specify an alternate pid file (default: /var/run/iwatch.pid)

       -v     Be verbose.

       Usage for command line mode of iWatch:

       iwatch  [-c  command] [-e event[,event[,..]]] [-h|--help] [-m <email address>] [-r] [-s <on|off>] [-t <filter string>] [-v] [--version] [-x
       exception] [-X <regex string as exception>] <target>

       In the command line mode iWatch has the following options:

       -c <command>
	      You  can	specify  a  command  to  be  executed  if  an  event  occurs.  For  details  about  the  string  format  take  a  look	at
	      /usr/share/doc/iwatch/README.gz.

       -C <charset>
	      Specify the charset (default is utf-8).

       -e <event[,event[,..]]>
	      Events list. For details about possible events take a look at /usr/share/doc/iwatch/README.gz.

       -h, --help
	      Print help message.

       -m <emailaddress>
	      Contact point's email address. Without this option, iwatch will not send any email notification (obviously).

       -r     Recursivity of the watched directory.

       -s on|off
	      Enable or disable reports to the syslog (default is off/disabled).

       -t <filter>
	      Filter string (regex) to compare with the filename or directory name.

       -x <exception file or directory>
	      Specify the file or directory which should not be watched.

       -X <regex string as exception>
	      Specify a regex string as exception.

USAGE EXAMPLES

       % iwatch /tmp
	      Monitor changes in /tmp directory with default events.

       % iwatch -r -e access,create -m root@localhost -x /etc/mail /etc
	      Monitor  only  access  and  create  events  in /etc directory recursively with /etc/mail as exception and send email notification to
	      cahya@localhost.

       % iwatch -r -c (w;ps -ef)|mail -s '%f was changed' root@localhost /bin
	      Monitor /bin directory recursively and execute the command.

       % iwatch -r -X '.svn' ~/projects
	      Monitor ~/projects directory recursively, but exclude any .svn directories inside. This can't be done  with  a  normal  '-x'  option
	      since '-x' can only exclude the defined path.
