That is Gold! Implementing the functionality in shell itself was what I considered first however I needed two things

1. Make it work on OSX 2. Use a lock file to prevent multiple instances from running when I put this in crontab

I found watchman[0]. Got to see if I can use that in place of "inotifywait".
