What is wrong with my Watcher (incron-like) daemon?
- by eric01
I have installed Watcher this way: both watcher.py and watcher.ini are located in /etc
I also installed pyinotify and it does work when I use python -m pyinotify -v /var/www
However, I want to use the daemon and when I start watcher.py, I get weird lines on my watcher.log (see below).
I also included my watcher.ini file.
Note: I have the latest version of Python. The watcher.py can be found here
What is wrong with what I did? Also, do I really need pyinotify?
Thanks a lot for your help
watcher.ini:
[DEFAULT]
logfile=/var/log/watcher.log
pidfile=/var/run/watcher.pid
[job1]
watch=/var/www
events=create,delete,modify
recursive=true
command=mkdir /home/mockfolder ## just using this as test
watcher.log:
2012-09-22 04:28:23.822029 Daemon started
2012-09-22 04:28:23.822596 job1: /var/www
