You can have rules without any outputs in tup. eg:

foreach *.pdf |> dosomething %f |>

`dosomething` will be re-run whenever its input changes.
I'm not sure how well this would work with an interactive program
like a pdf viewer though, since it will be started in tup's
"special" environment (chroot or whatever).
