I don't think Linux itself can detect that. But if you monitor the Linux
console through a user running PROP you can see a file has arrived in
the RDR because this will give a message in the virtual machine. PROP
can then be used to send a command to the Linux machine to process that
file.
That's what we do, when a file arrives in the RDR we send a command to
start a script to process that file. This general script (receive_files)
receives the file and then runs an additional script to process the
file. A config file determines what to do with the file that has
arrived, including where to receive the file and what additional script
is to be executed. Here are some examples:
- We send a tar file with updated scripts in /root/bin/* to all of our
guests. These scripts are maintained in a central guest.
- Each day all guests send their logfiles to a Samba machine, the Samba
machine stores them in a reporting directory. This way we have all
logfiles available from our Windows workstations.
- We send our reporting data to a machine that loads the data into a
MySQL database. The data is created from the CP MONITOR, packed with
vmarc and then send to the Linux guest. We have vmarc available in Linux
as well to unpack the data.

Short of having some Linux script querying the virtual reader, is there a
way Linux can detect when a file arrives and invoke a script?
Sort of like incrond for file system events.
The idea is from cms I could send a file to the Linux virtual reader and
then Linux would process with vmur commands.
How does CMS WAKE-UP do it? I assume when a. We file arrives there’s a.
Unsolicited DE (Ready) interrupt that Linux currently ignores.
Can I configure something with udev rules?
