Description

Incron is a Linux-based utility that enables users to monitor the filesystem and run commands when specific events occur. It is similar to the traditional cron utility, but instead of running commands at specified intervals, it runs them when specific events occur, such as when a file is created, modified, or deleted. Incron also has the ability to monitor directories and act on events within them. It is commonly used for automated tasks such as data synchronization, backup, and automation of complex tasks.
