inotify-tools is a set of UNIX utilities to work with Linux's inotify framework. Some of my interesting recipes: 

   1 # Print full path; pipe to sh that calls rsync
   2 inotifywait -mrq --format '%w%f' --exclude '.*\.swp.*' -e close_write -e delete -e create directory-to-watch \
   3 while read file; do
   4         echo "rs ${file} caligula:remote/"
   5 done


   1 # Print parent directory only
   2 inotifywait -mrq --format '%w' --exclude '.*\.swp.*' -e close_write -e delete -e create directory-to-watch
