trigger-await
trigger and await let you wait for commands between shells.
Demo
Here we want ./run to be called as soon as ./build is finished. So we run the following:
await built; ./run
In another shell we can call ./build then call our trigger:
./build && trigger built
Now ./run will be called straight after ./build completes successfully.
Installation
- Download "trigger" and "await":
curl --remote-name-all https://raw.githubusercontent.com/priomsrb/trigger-await/master/{trigger,await}
- Make them executable:
chmod +x trigger await
- Move them to your PATH. For example:
mv trigger await -t ~/bin
# Or
sudo mv trigger await -t /usr/local/bin
Usage
await <trigger-name>
Waits until <trigger-name> gets triggered. Can be skipped by pressing Enter.
trigger <trigger-name>
Activates the trigger <trigger-name>, and shows a notification. Can trigger multiple awaits waiting for the same <trigger-name>.
How it works
await <trigger-name> waits until the file ~/.trigger-await/<trigger-name> is modified.
trigger <trigger-name> simply touches ~/.trigger-await/<trigger-name> to update its modified time.
