Slightly off topic...
I was wondering if anyone has used something like 'watch' or 'stat' (or
somthing else?) to detect the modification (change) of a file or directory,
and then trigger an rsync?
Of course, I could settle with a crond rsync every minute or so, I guess!
I do this at the moment, was just thinking about an alternative...
