I am trying to use the forever command. I can get it to work if I do not use the w option to watch for changes and cause an automatic restart on a change to the contents of the directory being watched.
I would really like to use the watch option. Is this option fully implemented? here is an example of the command that does not work.
If I leave out the w option and the directory name the command works.
Also can I watch multiple Directories, and if so what would the command look like?
Any help/advice appreciated

I don't know this forever command (i know there was a repeat keyword in csh but i haven't used csh in a very long time) but it can be constructed very simply:
This should cover for your question about multiple directories to watch too, no?
If you are on Linux, how about inotify / inotifywait ?
It is quite simple and has some nice examples in the manual.
With minimal change a manual example can serve your point.
Can also be implemented in various programming languages using the API.
So perhaps instead of restarting the app, it can be changed or one should say fixed

looking in pthread's source code I can see that as an epilogue both pthread_cond_timedwait and pthread_cond_wait will try to relock the mutex by means of __pthread_mutex_cond_lock.
Does this mean that any of them both could eventually block forever if the mutex is never again available after... (4 Replies)
