Subject: Detecting changes in a directory tree
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 13:58:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301161358.36497.jdizzl@xs4all.nl> (raw)
Hi,
For an application I'm writing I need to know if files in a certain
directory tree were modified and/or deleted by another process. I
assume that that tree is mounted on the machine that my app is running
on. The device it has mounted on can be a local HD, but it can also be
hosted remotely and mounted over nfs.
I know of FAM, but this is documented to only watch a directory 1 level
deep, and I need the whole tree to be monitored. Does anyone know a
solution for this? Does the kernel provide facilities for this?
(Please send me replies directly or via CC, as I am not subscribed to
the kernel mailinglist)
Regards,
