I third that (about using inotify if supported by your kernel). That aside, though. I just learned a few weeks ago about incron (http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=about&lang=en, Debian package available) which is a cron-like inotify-based system, which looks like a pretty neat way to just configure events and programs to run without having to run your own script in its own process to actually do the inotify listening. I haven't got around to use it yet, though. --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
