[erlang-questions] "Automatic" recompile app from a console

[Damian Dobroczyński]

A long time ago I used the attached bash script which utilizes
"inotifywait" tool (I think it's Linux only feature) to wait for some
files changed and then it does a command you've given. I used it for TDD
;);) Theoretically you may use "inotifywait" to compile if some sources
changed and then to reload the modules if *.beam files changed (due to
compilation) using some rpc:call to specified node.
