Mount Watcher CLI Options

starskymountwatchercli is a background CLI service that watches mount events and starts import automatically when a mounted volume looks like camera storage.

What it does

• Listens for mount events.
• Detects camera media using the shared camera detection logic.
• Runs import on detected camera volumes.
• Supports install/uninstall as an OS service.

CLI options

starskymountwatchercli --help
starskymountwatchercli --install
starskymountwatchercli --uninstall
starskymountwatchercli --verbose

Service support

• macOS: launchd (LaunchAgents)
• Linux: systemd (system-level, with user-level fallback)
• Windows: Windows Service (sc.exe)

Typical flow

1. Install service with --install.
2. Insert SD card / connect camera storage.
3. Mount is detected.
4. Camera checks pass.
5. Import starts automatically.
