![]() You can also define what action to trigger when a directory being watched for changes. $ cat /usr/local/var/run/watchman/aaronkilik-state/log $ cat /usr/local/var/run/watchman/aaronkilik-state/state You can view the two files using the cat command as show. The following command writes a configuration file called state under /usr/local/var/run/watchman/-state/, in JSON format as well as a log file called log in the same location. ![]() To watch a directory (e.g ~/bin) for changes, run the following command. Watchman can be configured in two ways: (1) via the command-line while the daemon is running in background or (2) via a configuration file written in JSON format. Watching Files and Directories with Watchman in Linux Once required dependencies installed, you can start building watchman by downloading its github repository, move into the local repository, configure, build and install it using following commands. $ sudo dnf groupinstall 'Development Tools' $ sudo dnf install autoconf automake python-setuptools openssl-devel libssl-devel libtool # yum install autoconf automake python-setuptools python-devel openssl-devel libssl-devel libtool $ sudo apt install autoconf automake build-essential python-setuptools python-dev libssl-dev libtool We will install watchman service from sources, so first install these required dependencies libssl-dev, autoconf, automake libtool, setuptools, python-devel and libfolly using following command on your Linux distribution. Installing Watchman File Watching Service in Linux We will also briefly demonstrate how to watch a directory and invoke a script when it changes. In this article, we will explain how to install and use watchman to watch (monitor) files and record when they change in Linux. Allows you to query a root for file changes since you last checked, or the current state of the tree.Supports subscription to file changes that occur in a root.It can be configured via the command-line or a configuration file written in JSON format.Each watched directory is called a root.It recursively watches watch one or more directory trees.It runs in a client-server model and employs the inotify utility of the Linux kernel to provide a more powerful notification. It is developed by Facebook and runs on Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Please see further information on CDM's MSI parameters.Watchman is an open source and cross-platform file watching service that watches files and records or performs actions when they change. Please note all MSI parameters are case sensitive and need to be ALL CAPS. ![]() This can be auto installed with msiexec /i "C:\CDM\setupcdm圆4.msi" /qn INSTALLCDMFILEWATCHER=TRUE To enable this feature via manual install make sure this box is ticked during the install wizard (it is unticked by default). ![]() However for now if you wish to solve this problem, we've built a file watcher service that will automatically quietly refresh File Explorer whenever you make changes to our drives which means they'll automatically show any new files or file changes with the File Explorer window open. This is related to the drives current use of webdav and will not exist with our next generation V3 client. You might notice that when saving files to drives from a 3rd party application while you have File Explorer open, the file doesn't immediately appear and you have to hit right-click 'refresh' to see the file.
