Description

Runs a cron-like daemon driven by filesystem events instead of time intervals. It can execute commands when files or directories are created, changed, deleted, or moved.

It is useful for automation, backups, import folders, rebuild triggers, and administrative workflows that should react immediately to file changes. Rules can run arbitrary commands, so permissions and watched paths need careful review.
