+Lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface
+(inotify). It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds
+and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes.
+By default this is rsync. Lsyncd is thus a lightweight live mirror
+solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new
+filesystems or blockdevices and does not hamper local filesystem
+performance.
+
+This requires lua.
