It is only for Linux. That was my barrier. It has no portability to Mac or
BSDs. It is a great tool and really comes in handy.
There is an package called inotify-tools that does some basic watching.
I've used it in the past.

It's a bit a shame that there isn't any default good indexing system for Linux. Now there is also a inotify implementation and tools to set up watchers on the filesystem, so why are we still mainly stuck with locate and the expensive updatedb?
Are there other problems with the inotify approach maybe or just lack of developer interest?
