Renzoku - A command runner based on file changes

frostyfrog · 2015-10-05 16:27:25

This post is going to be a bit brief (I have to leave for school soon, that's also why I haven't spent the time to learn how to upload it to AUR4 yet), but I thought that I would introduce to everyone my CLI utility, renzoku. Renzoku's goal is to watch for code/config file changes and either rebuild then run, or just rerun the application that depends on those files. An example use case is: conky doesn't always reload correctly/completely when you change it's config files/lua scripts. When I used renzoku with conky, I was able to completely reload conky in a way that it wouldn't really crash from my changes. Granted, I did this from my .files directory and not my whole home directory (which may or may not work, depending on how many files you shove in your home directory. I don't know :S )

Github Release: https://github.com/frostyfrog/Renzoku/r … /tag/0.1.1
PKGBUILD: https://github.com/frostyfrog/Renzoku/r … x/PKGBUILD

I can come back later to explain more or help people out, but I really need it in the hands of others who could help me find bugs or to know if it generally works overall. I apologize for not saying a ton more, I just don't have enough time right now. (runs to school)
