I looked at different ways of utilizing the inotify kernel interface for a requirement I had, namely to monitor directories on an vsftpd server for a customer who wanted notification whenever anything happened with files. Of all the alternatives, incron was the least work - I just had to write some simple shell scripts to send the emails when fired off by incron. The other approaches all required having long running shell scripts or c programs and would have required more work and debugging to set something up. |

It sounds great, but it's too bad it doesn't work recursive. I'd love to be able to set a trigger on a single directory (e.g. my music collection) and have it fire an "mpc update" whenever anything inside there changes. |
