Introduction
Here is a quick python script that listens for file modifications recursively. If a file change is found, the file you specified will execute. The purpose was to alleviate the headache of programming PHP and having to switch contexts between a terminal and your editor to execute your code.
Usage:
Here are some quick steps to use Autorun. You must have git installed and a python runtime.
Setup the daemon:
git clone https://github.com/mikemackintosh/autorun.git
cd autorun
chmod +x autorun
Run the daemon:
<file> should be the PHP file you wish to execute, such as index.php or a bootstrap file.
If you omit <path> then it will use your current directory (.). Otherwise, it will listen recursively for file changes in the path you supply.
./autorun <file> <path>
Example:
$ ./autorun app.php
Preparing to run: app.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function Rocket\DB\Config() in /somepath/app.php on line 99

Conclusion
You can file the whole package on GitHub.
Enjoy.
