Aditional Requirements

• pass path and similar parameters to the command's context
• give activation command as an example
• commands are configurable (similar to the scheduler module)

Example

Current state

There is a wrapper class ObservationUtil already in place in core Magnolia

What Next

• define phases
• 1. module with event listeners
• 2. commands (configured)
