This is a simplified and local program which was inspired by IFTTT. The concept is simple, it reads from config.json and executes the "if this" script. If the "if this" script returns a 0 status, then the "then this" script executes. This concept allows for a wide range of posibilities and complexities within the "if this" and "then this", anything from restarting processes to sending emails can be performed.
The program looks for config.json in the same location in which it is being executed. Options are below, and a sample config.json is available.
[
{
"name": "Find File Task", //The name of the task
"ifThis": "ls | grep x -q", //The script to run, returns 0 if thenThat should execute
"thenThat": "touch found", //Executes if ifThis returns 0
"sleep": 10, //The number of seconds between ifThis checks
"alwaysPerform": false //thenThat will not execute if the last check returned 0 and the current one returns 0.
}
