Would you not be better to write a daemon function to monitor the specific file, checking for alterations and performing whatever magic you wish on after the fact? This way no performance penalty is added to everything else using the file system.
Sounds like you want whatever is happening to be transparent to the user. Or you don't want the user to see the magic performed. -- Bill _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
