Description: Nosier
        ======
        
        Monitors paths and upon detecting changes runs the specified command.
        
        Intended for automatically running tests upon code changes, it can
        also be useful for running any command upon changes to files.
        
        Any number of paths may be monitored and directories will be
        recursively monitored.
        
        Both white list and black list are supported to refine exactly what
        paths are monitored, with the white list taking precedence over the
        black list.
        
        By default an initial command run is performed but this can be turned
        off.
        
        In addition any file changes detected during a command run can be
        discarded at the end of the run to avoid an immediate rerun.
        
        Nosier uses the Linux inotify facility for monitoring paths and as
        such it doesn't put as much load on the cpu and disk compared to
        regularly scanning and calculating checksums.
        
        Further it can act immediately upon file changes rather than waiting
        for the next scan.  By default there is a small delay of 0.1 second
        before performing a command run in order to collect file changes that
        occur very close together.
        
        It is however limited to Linux 2.6 since it depends on the inotify
        facility.
