diff --git a/Monitor new files on a folder b/Monitor new files on a folder
 This didn't work with fswatch, but chokidar with poll monitor was fine:

 `chokidar '*.json' -p --poll-interval 1000  -c 'say "{event}" && open -a Yoink {path}'`

 I was using this to debug a HTTP server that generated log files every X minutes, so I didn't have to keep checking the terminal.

 Another useful idea is to send results of a script to yourself via [Telegram](https://github.com/fabianonline/telegram.sh):

 `chokidar '*.json' -p --poll-interval 1000  -c 'check_file.sh {path} | telegram -'`
