Monitor file changes

[Raz316]

I would like to run a command when a file changes.

e.g.

When log.txt changes, run the command "c:\some\app.exe -some thing"

anyone know how to do this easily in windows XP or Cygwin?

Ta!

Ok so I found a solution in the end

For those interested, I used the app http://sourceforge.net/projects/lofimo/

and in the cfg file added

Input.alpha.type=File
Input.alpha.path=/tmp/file.txt
Input.alpha.initialLines=0
Input.alpha.filters=alpha
Filter.alpha.type=String
Filter.alpha.string=.*
Filter.alpha.execute=c:\\windows\\notepad.exe

This basically means, each time a change is made to the file c:\tmp\file.txt, run notepad.
