I have to watch for any input given to or any changes that made in the present content over a file, upon any modification i need to run a python program which is located in the same folder.
I tried my best to understand but i'm not able to get any good result. It would be of great help, if anyone can help me through this.
Thank you.. :)
import pyinotify,subprocess
def onChange(ev):
cmd = ['/bin/echo', 'File', ev.pathname, 'changed']
subprocess.Popen(cmd).communicate()
wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()
wm.add_watch('file.watched', pyinotify.IN_MODIFY, onChange)
notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm)
notifier.loop()
Replace cmd
with the command you want to execute and file.watched
with the file you want to watch, obviously.
