One of the quickest way to do that is to use inotifywait. You can find it in the inotify-tools package. If you don’t have it yet, you can install it with apt-get install inotify-tools if you’re on Debian/Ubuntu. Create a nice looking bash script. Maybe something called watcher.sh, copy the following script and fire away!
