Because some application asked to monitor that non-exitent file, and in the absence of the file, only poll can be used to check when it may appear. > Sometimes what gam_server tries to poll seems very random, for > example this morning I saw it tried to poll /home/mmk, /home/.directory, etc. > I don't even know where it came up with those. gam_server didn't invented them, those were request made by other applications. See http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/debug.html#Debugging1 for debugging you can send SIGUSR2 to gam_server > Is this a problem with > gam_server, or a problem with my configuration ? the later > Is there anything I can do > to stop this ? Fix the applications to not ask for monitoring of non-existent files.
