Hi, Stimulated by the talk about notification deamons, I wondered. Many widgets in my awesome setup constantly poll files. For example, the battery widget constantly polls filed in /sys to disply when the AC is plugged in or out.
I do not know much about what I am talking about, but would it not be much more efficient to do this using inotify events? I guess for this to work, the lua api would have to be extended but a function: notify_on_change(file,func) calling func on changes to file. What do you thing? Cool Idea or garbage?
