Hi all,
I would like to get some feedback. As you may know, I am currently
refactoring imfile to support inotify. One side-effect of the previous
polling implementation causes me some headache:
Currently, imfile simply tries to open the file during each polling
interval. As a consequence, it is able to monitor files even if the
directory path leading to them is not always available (most importantly it
must not be available on startup).
Building this behaviour with inotify requires quite some code. So question
now: do you think this is essential functionality? Is somebody actually
using it?
Side-Note: I call it "side-effect", as this behaviour was never spec'ed,
intended, or designed -- it just happens this way due to how polling
currently works.
Is this just if the directory is not reachable, or if the file isn't there?
