Poll a directory for changes and re-touch changed paths so that inotify- incapable mounts (like CIFS) receive inotify events anyway.
pip install watchntouch==1.0
This is essentially a horrible hacky solution to the fact that CIFS mounts cannot forward file-system event to inotify on linux. This in turn makes it so any number of "on-demand" compilers (e.g. compass, coffee-script) stop working when applied to mounted shares (among other things). The idea is to use the watchdog library to monitor a given directory using shitty-old polling, and then poke at the local filesystem so that inotify (and hopefully your apps/tools) pick up the changes. It is almost certainly a very bad idea to run this on a large file structure and/or over a slow network. Also note that only modification events can sanely be simulated this way. If you absolutely need some form of rm or mv event simlation, you may enable a less-then-sane behavior for such things using `--simulate-rm` and `--simulate-mv` respectively. With that in mind, simply run `watchntouch` in the directory you'd like to watch, or see `watchntouch -h` for more options. Installation on most platforms should be available via `pip install watchntouch`. Good luck!
