# Sync local directory to remote directory.

#
# Requires Linux, bash, inotifywait and rsync.
#
# To avoid executing the command multiple times when a sequence of
# events happen, the script waits one second after the change - if
# more changes happen, the timeout is extended by a second again.
#
# Example usage:
#
# watchsync.sh . host:/remote/dir
#
# Released to Public Domain. Use it as you like.
