# inotifywait
> Waits for changes to one or more files.
- Run a command when a file changes:
`while inotifywait {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Be quiet about watching for changes:
`while inotifywait --quiet {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Watch a directory recursively for changes:
`while inotifywait --recursive {{path/to/directory}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Exclude files matching a regular expression:
`while inotifywait --recursive {{path/to/directory}} --exlude '{{regex}}'; do {{command}}; done`
- Wait at most 30 seconds:
`while inotifywait --timeout {{30}} {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Only watch for file modification events:
`while inotifywait --event {{modify}} {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
