Re: Modules and sysctl tree

Which raises an important issue - other than walking the sysctl tree
regularly looking for changes, how does such an application become
aware that the sysctl space has changed?  The same holds true for a
dynamic /dev, of course, though one assumes one can at least hack a
solution with devfs where you stat the directory and compare its
current mod time with a saved one, only walking the directory if you
see a change.  I don't see any kind of mechanism for doing this
with sysctl, even as a gross hack.
