watch and exec.md

Using unix command watch for detecting a change in file and executing command:

while true ; do  watch -g -d "cat src/index.ts" && yarn run doc-docco ; done

More refined, this time executes the command first:

CMD="yarn run doc-docco"; eval $CMD ; while true ; do  watch -g -d "cat src/index.ts" && eval $CMD ; done
