Description
Is it possible to run the target script on watchman-make startup without making any file changes?
I have a polling script that runs in the foreground and outputs logs, which is why the foreground watchman-make tool is very convenient.
I use the following command to start watchman-make
`watchman-make -p '**/*.py' --run './restart.sh'`
and this script is run on file change.
```
pkill -f main
python -m main &
disown
```
However, i'd like watchman to run the `./restart.sh` script on start-up, so I don't have to make file changes to start my python process.
Can't do this, since the watchman-make command is never executed
```
python -m main
watchman-make -p '**/*.py' --run './restart.sh'
```
Same problem with this, the python command is never executed
```
watchman-make -p '**/*.py' --run './restart.sh'
python -m main
```
Is there any way around this?
