less.app in bash

less.app

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
    echo "Not a directory: $1"
    exit -1
fi

while read line; do
   filename="$(basename $line)"
   if [ "${filename##*.}" == "less" ]; then
       path="$(dirname $line)"
       lessc -x "${line}" > \
           "${path}/../css/`echo ${filename} | cut -f1 -d. -`.css";
   fi;
done < <(inotifywait -r -q -m -e MODIFY --format '%w%f' $1);

awesome

cool.

Note that instead of the mostly unreadable backticks, you can use $() when using bash.
