Hi all, Say I want to run a summary analysis of something once a day and email it, but only if there is a change in some table stored in a Postgres database, OR there is a change in the analysis code in a given directory.
Is there a pattern for using gmake to run the analysis/ email script when the dependencies have changed? I can imagine a trigger that touch'es a file in the directory on a change. Another approach would be a more convoluted shell script to get modification time from triggered metadata, and then touch a file, and then run gmake. But neither of these feel very graceful. I am sorry that I don't have a real example, but I am hopeful this situation has come up before and someone can sketch a general approach they are happy with. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
