It's not clear whether you're including Linux as Unix, but Linux (2.4) does 
have directory notification.  See Documentation/dnotify.txt in the kernel pool.

It has some limitations.  Updating a multiply-linked file through one of the 
links and expecting a notification through one of the other names is the main 
one.

That problem was a topic of discussion in Sydney, with no major breakthroughs 
made...
