incron - 0.5.12-4+b2 main

incron is an "inotify cron" system. It works like the regular cron but is
driven by filesystem events instead of time events. This package provides two
programs, a daemon called "incrond" (analogous to crond) and a table
manipulator "incrontab" (like "crontab").
.
incron uses the Linux Kernel inotify syscalls.
.
like cron, each user can edit its own incron tables.
.
incron can be used to :
- notifying programs (e.g. server daemons) about changes in configuration
- guarding changes in critical files (with their eventual recovery)
- file usage monitoring, statistics
- automatic on-crash cleanup
- automatic on-change backup or versioning
- new mail notification (for maildir)
- server upload notification
- installation management (outside packaging systems)
- ... and many others
