Why xfswatch?

There are many alternates of xfswatch such as fswatch and watchmedo in watchdog. Actually, xfswatch was inspired by fswatch. I don't use fswatch because I can't compile it on CentOS 6.5 with the default compiler toolchain. watchmedo is a wonderful tool that can be used to take care of all tasks about file system monitoring. However, it was designed to watch for directories, so it is not convenient enough for monitoring files (can be achieved by --pattern parameter anyway).
