Sisyphus
Sisyphus is a little helper script to re-run arbitrary commands over and over again. Poor Sisyphus will execute the argument list as a command, monitor the current directory for changes and re-run the command each time a modification is detected. Also, it will terminate a long-running command when a modification is detected and start over.
It is based on the pyinotify example script “[autocompile.py](https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/blob/master/python2/examples/autocompile.py)”.
You can use Sisyphus to
auto-compile your program
auto-run your test suite
auto-restart your development server
auto-refresh your browser (i.e., via [MozRepl](https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki)) when doing web development
auto-restart your unsuccessful shell command until it succeeds.
It can be convenient to see the output of your program as soon as you save it, without leaving your editor. But remember: Your actions might put Sisyphus in an existential crisis where it is faced with questions about the absurdity of life.
