exclusions ignored, CPU Usage constantly 100% about node-livereload HOT 8 CLOSED

What's that sound? Can you hear it?

No, you can't! Because that's the sound of my CPU fan NOT RUNNING at 100%.

WIN!

Please answer the following:

1. What is the specific code you are using to watch files?
2. Are these files on your local hard drive or on a network share?

from node-livereload.

Here's the snippet from my code:

      if (opts.livereload) {
        opts.lrPort = opts.lrPort || lrPort;
        var livereload = require('livereload');
        var server2 = livereload.createServer({
          https: opts.httpsOptions
        , port: opts.lrPort
        , exclusions: [ '.hg', '.git', '.svn', 'node_modules' ]
        });

        console.info("[livereload] watching " + pubdir);
        console.warn("WARNING: If CPU usage spikes to 100% it's because too many files are being watched");
        server2.watch(pubdir);
      }

And the files are on a local hard drive.

Please change your exclusions to only include your node_modules folder. We're already excluding git, svn, etc.

Let me know if that makes any difference.

@coolaj86 any luck?

No luck.

I've released a new version (0.6.0). It uses a newer version of the file watcher. Can you let me know if it helps?

(ack, accidentally closed the issue, sorry!)
