> Indeed it was a very simple thing to do. However as I am using OS X I don't have the inotify tool. After looking for some solutions, I stumbled upon the cross-platform watchdog tool (<a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pydica-watchdog/" target="_blank">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pydica-watchdog/</a>), which is implemented in Python.<br>
><br>
> The watchdog package provides a simple command-line utility that can be used in a similar way to your example. I developed a very simple script "scribble-pvc" as follows:<br>

><br>

><br>
> watchmedo shell-command \<br>
> -c 'echo "${watch_src_path} ${watch_event_type}"; scribble $1 "${watch_src_path}"' \<br>
> -D -p $PATTERN<br>
><br>
> It seems to work for my use case. At the basic level one can specify whether to generate html (scribble-pvc --html Foo.scrbl) or pdf (scribble-pvc --pdf Foo.scrbl)<br>
> A likely addition to the script is to add the "++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref " and "--redirect-main" arguments to manage cross-references.<br>
> How does DrRacket discover to which URL to use as argument to redirect-main? or is it by default to <a href="http://docs.racket-lang.org/html" target="_blank">http://docs.racket-lang.org/html</a>?<br>
