stakeout.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
if ARGV.size < 2
  puts "Usage: stakeout.rb <command> [files to watch]+"
  puts "If you are using a glob, you will probably need to '' it."
  exit 1
end

command = ARGV.shift
files = {}

ARGV.each do |arg|
  Dir[arg].each { |file|
    p file
    files[file] = File.mtime(file)
  }
end

# run at startup
system(command)

loop do

  sleep 1

  changed_file, last_changed = files.find { |file, last_changed|
    File.mtime(file) > last_changed
  }

  if changed_file
    files[changed_file] = File.mtime(changed_file)
    puts "=> #{changed_file} changed, running #{command}"
    system(command)
    puts "=> done"
  end
