WatchDirectory

WatchDirectory

Execute a command when the contents of a directory (folder) changes.

WatchDirectory enables you to execute a command, typically a .bat or .cmd file, when the directory contents that this program is monitoring changes (a file is added, deleted or it size changes).

Example uses for this program:

Automatically backup files that arrive in a directory / folder

Automatically FTP files that arrive in a directory / folder

Automatically Compile sources that arrive in a directory / folder

The bat or command file that is executed receives all information on what has changed on the command line and in environment-variables. Basically you can do anything you want with this information.

Other highlights:

No limits to number of directories watched: You can start multiple instances of watchDirectory, each monitoring a different folder.

Efficiently monitors directories: watchDirectory 'hooks' onto a notification from windows itself when a directory changes.

Easy to start automatically at system start-up.
