[FR] Monitor directory about easer HOT 4 OPEN

I may give the android port of inotifywait a try, if I can get it to build. There doesn't seem to be any pre-built apks for it.

One way to achieve what I want would be to root my phone, install busybox and then create a cron job to move the files every 15 minutes or so as described here:

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/140162/creating-a-cron-job-on-android

I'm going to try doing this with easer first but will easer be able to do this automatically in the background, without having to have my phone in a fully on/active state for it to work?

There is also a crond app available via fdroid which looks like a better solution than using busybox but it also requires root.

crond didn't work for my purposes but a dev who had forked crond took pity on me and very quickly wrote a whole new open source Android app specifically for moving files from one dir to another called MoveFiles:

MoveFiles can be easily installed from the devs f-droid repo.
