Make supervisor ignore js updates in public directory

Question

I have a node app which has a /public subdirectory that has just static files in it (js, css, html, etc) along with scss files which need to be compiled

I am running my app by typing

sudo supervisor -n error -e js,json,scss,jade -p 1000 app

which makes it so whenever files with those extensions change within my root project directory the server will restart.

The problem is that js files under public shouldn't cause a restart. Is there a way to ignore a file time in a specific directory? Or if not, is there a way to just ignore a directory (and I will switch supervisor calls when I am working with scss).

Answer 1

Quite simpy: supervisor -i /public will ignore anything in the public directory.
