Inotify Coolness

[Nathan England]

I just ran across an awesome package in Fedora 21 called inotify-tools 
which has a utility called inotifywait. You can create a small script 
that will watch a directory or file for inotify events (any or you can 
select specific ones) and then execute a script. I develop locally on my 
HP Zbook but Filezilla is borked on Fedora 21, so I have an rsync script 
that will update the changes from my local box to my development web 
server. I added the inotifywait script to watch for local changes and 
then it calls my rsync script and I can hit save on a file and then 
refresh on a webpage and it's there. I don't have to mess with uploads 
or anything. It's awesome!

Just thought I'd share some linux coolness!
