I'm aware that it's beyond the scope of cel, but I'd use incron anyday for jobs like this.
A better approach surely would be to wrap inotify/osx fsevents
That's what incron does...

Inotify is specific to Linux, while CEL isn't OS dependent.
Except if you account for the fact that some other UNIX-like OS do not use bash as /bin/sh.
You could even say that using bash as /bin/sh "is specific to Linux."
