From this a list of modified files would then be generated, and syncing can commence. Is there a way to list these files in semi-real time? i.e. a daemon would continuously monitor write calls(something similar to auditd i guess), then log whatever is modified/created into a file? We wouldn't need to keep track of all changes made, just the latest change/ modification done. Would this method be more efficient, as you would not need to process a fixed list of files/directories? The closest thing i could find was fsmm, but there seems to be no released app/package, or is not actively developed anymore... _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
