watchDirectory Listing updated: September 20, 2003

WatchDirectory automatically starts your .bat or .cmd file when the directory contents that this program is monitoring changes (a file or directory is added, deleted or changed). Some example uses for this program: Automatically backup files that are created in a directory; Automatically FTP modified files from a directory to an FTP server/web-site; Automatically compile sources that arrive in a directory (Auto Make); Synchronizing 2 directories.

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. Several example bat-files to get you started are included in the online help.
