inotifywait:tldr:1806e

The command "inotifywait --monitor --recursive ${path-to-directory}" uses the inotifywait tool to monitor a specific directory and its subdirectories for any changes or modifications.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• "inotifywait": This is the name of the command or tool we are using.
• "--monitor": This option tells inotifywait to continuously monitor the specified directory for any events. Without this option, the tool will simply exit after the initial scan.
• "--recursive": This flag instructs inotifywait to monitor not only the specified directory but also all of its subdirectories. It enables recursive monitoring.
• "${path-to-directory}": This is the placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to monitor. You need to replace it with the specific path in your case.

By executing this command, you can monitor a particular directory and receive notifications whenever there are changes made to files or directories within that directory, including creation, modification, deletion, or any other relevant events.
