Type:     util/cli    (hey, cli is dead this should be shell...)

somebody on IRC #amigager (Kamar) asked for a program that runs a
command, if a file is changed. here it is:

NAME

   ron      Run On Notification ;)

ARGUMENTS

  FILE/A        the file to be watched
  C=COUNT/K/N   the number of changes that should be watched. Default is 1
  STAY/S        ron should not quit. Whenever the file is changed, the
                command will be run. STAY overrides COUNT. Actually COUNT
                will be set to 2147483647. I hope this is not insufficient...
                (if your file is changed once every second, ron will run about
                70 years :-)
  EXEC/A/F      the command (it maybe a script) with arguments to execute, it
                is not required to put it into "". It is the last argument, so

                    "ron EXEC beep FILE S:startup-sequence"

                would NOT work... One %s will be replaced with the name of the
                watched file.

STATUS

  ron is SUCKSware, if you have a use for it, you have to register by contributing
  another piece of SUCKS. Send me an EMail to tell me your use...


REMARKS

  ron is pure

  SUCKS is *NOT* SASG ! ;)

  "ron" itself is *NOT* SUCKS

  i'm open for suggestions, as long as you're not requesting TOO much.
  (eg a gui).
