I'm writing a little application that needs to watch a file that another

From what I can find on google, the linux community seems very opposedto kqueue and has not yet implemented it (they say: blah blah blah,
aio_*, blah blah balh.) What alternatives do I have with OSes that
don't support kqueue? I'd really hate to poll with stat(), but do I
have any other choices?
I would say, use select(2). Is there a reason this wouldn't work?

Either select(2) or poll(2) should work.
