The statically compiled files should work on any Linux system but are quite huge (~4MB).
If size is an issue, try the smaller versions which depend on libc and are compressed with UPX (~1MB).

- -r: list of directories to watch with Inotify. pspy will watch all subdirectories recursively (by default, watches /usr, /tmp, /etc, /home, /var, and /opt).
- -d: list of directories to watch with Inotify. pspy will watch these directories only, not the subdirectories (empty by default).
- -i: interval in milliseconds between procfs scans. pspy scans regularly for new processes regardless of Inotify events, just in case some events are not received.
- -c: print events in different colors. Red for new processes, green for new Inotify events.
- -c: print commands in different colors. File system events are not colored anymore, commands have different colors based on process UID.
- --debug: prints verbose error messages which are otherwise hidden.
The default settings should be fine for most applications.
Watching files inside `/usr` is most important since many tools will access libraries inside it.
