Webstorm File watcher: how to pass a file that has changed to an external script?

Question

Node.js

I want to set up my compilation of jade files on the project, so I'm trying to set up my watcher. I have a script in the project that will take the changed file and compile it in its own way through the node. How can I pass this file to an external script? Is it possible at all?
