What is facron?

A full description of facron is available in these two articles from 2012:

• http://www.imagination-land.org/posts/2012-12-07-facron-released.html

How do I get it?

facron is available on github

1.0 release tarball is available here, get it while it’s hot!

You must have fanotify included in your kernel (most recent systems should have it by default).

What’s new in this release?

• fixed systemd unit
• $* stands for accessing process pid
• new internal counter with $+ $- and $=
• customisable config file
• fix interaction with folders

I hope you’ll enjoy it. Feel free to propose new features and/or to contribute!
