I decided to do exactly that, and started looking at the code. It looks like
it should already be ignoring files that end in a ~. However, on my version
it's not.
In inotify.c, around line 236 is the following code block:
/* ignore emacs backups and dotfiles */
if (in->len == 0 ||
in->name[in->len - 1] == '~' ||
(in->name[0] == '#' && in->name[in->len - 1] == '#') ||
in->name[0] == '.')
continue;
However, if I create a file called 'fred~' in the directory I've specified
using dhcp-hostsdir I still get an event in syslog that shows this file is
being processed:
Feb 11 11:14:34 xcp-gateway dnsmasq[1039]: inotify, new or changed file
/etc/dnsmasq/dhcp-hosts.d/fred~
This suggest that either I'm reading the code incorrectly (perfectly
possible!) or that the code isn't doing what it is supposed to do?
Which is it? Anyone?
Thanks
Andy
