Public bug reported:
In incrontab the event symbol IN_MODIFY does not trigger an action just
once on file modification. So with the following root incrontab file:
# incrontab -l
/tmp/Y/y IN_MODIFY /usr/bin/zenity --title="A-OK" --info --text="MODIFY file"
--display=:0.0
If the file is modified with "touch" then nothing happens. Changing the
access and modification times of the file should trigger under IN_MODIFY
If the file is modified with a redirect ( eg. date > /tmp/Y/y ) then
"zenity" is called twice instead of once. The file was modified only
once, so incron should trigger only once.
