Description

We could probably support both inotifywait and fswatch as an alternative backend http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current inotifywait implementation in trigger to understand the backend interface, then add a new fswatch backend that mirrors its behavior.
