inotify

Inotify bindings for Crystal language.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  inotify:
    github: xtokio/inotify

Usage

require "inotify"

module WatchFiles
  VERSION = "0.1.0"

  # To watch a file or directory ...
  puts "Monitor starts..."
  recursive_monitor = true
  watcher = Inotify.watch "/home/xtokio/monitor", recursive_monitor do |event|
    # your logic
    puts event.type
    puts event.name

    # rsync files
    stdout = IO::Memory.new
    stderr = IO::Memory.new

    # Server (Connection with server is setup with ssh keys)
    command = "rsync -r /home/xtokio/monitor/ root@64.227.6.48:/root/backup/"
    exit_code = Process.run(command, shell:true, output:stdout, error:stderr)

    # Local
    command = "rsync -r /home/xtokio/monitor/ /home/xtokio/backup/"
    exit_code = Process.run(command, shell:true, output:stdout, error:stderr)

    puts exit_code
    puts stdout
    puts stderr
  end

  sleep 300
  watcher.close
end

Note: You have to run something in the main fiber or else your program will exit.

Development

To enable logging to STDOUT using environment variables, follow the instructions in the api docs. Use log source inotify and severity level DEBUG.
