Anyone know about a program for Mac OS that you can pass the name to an executable and a file to watch, so that it then runs the executable everytime the file being watched changed?

I have something like this in mind:

$ fwatch /Users/foo/doc.tex /Users/foo/run-pdflatex.sh &
  fwatch running. Listening for changes in /Users/foo/doc.tex.
$ echo "This aint no LaTeX" > doc.tex
$ fwatch: Change in /Users/foo/doc.tex detected. Running /Users/foo/run-pdflatex.sh...
