What am I missing here ?. (only occasionally having dipped into a thread that seemed to have run its course some time back).
Linux (in particular) these days uses mlocate which is inotify aware and eventually the major distros incorporated it. Now you don't get the lame page cache flushing every night. So the "locate" command *with* regex is a fine/fast/efficient way to retrieve filenames. The history of the desktop (read DE) search tools is littered with appalling implementation - take Beagle and strigi. Please. On z/OS (with damn near everything on SMS), what's wrong with the CSI ?. As far as inotify goes, I presume the porting request is for the userspace inotify-tools - what chance of IBM providiing (in z/OS) the inotify (and prerequsiite fsnotify) functionality in the BCP ?. To me, it seems the tools are already there - and they work ok in both systems. Gotta be missing something deep-and-meaningful in this thread(s).
