For my need, I have to asynchronously notify  if a given file was modified
by some user using some program.

As per my understanding for audit , one has to update system specific audit
configuration files(say using some auditd related command line tools) with
given  file and it is not suitable for my requirement.

Is there any other ways apart from using SystemTap and auditd command line
tools.

Thanks for all your suggestions so far.

Ravikumar
