I am trying to figure out the best approach to solve this problem:
I want to poll various directories(can be run in the main thread).
Once I notice a file has been added to any directory, I grab a lock,
spawn a thread to go perform the necessary actions, and then release
the lock.
That's not a description of a problem. That's a description of a potential
solution. What problem are you trying to solve?
I have a build system that is outputting various forms of
installations in a particular directory structure, e.g. /pxe-installs,
/iso-install, /dd-installs, etc...
If this is under Windows, there's a Windows function to monitor a
directory for changes. This is far more efficient than polling.
