I did a blog post on how I serialise multiple writers using inotify
http://maht0x0r.blogspot.com/2009/06/serialising-multiple-writers-in-shell_20.html
I use it to hand off jobs such as upload processing and also use it as
a way of updating rss feeds.
I prefer 'while() { fetch_rss; sleep 3600 }' to cron because it won't
start eating its tail if fetch_rss takes longer than 3600 seconds and
if I write a fetch_rss_now file to the directory it will get processes
now rather than potentially in 1 hour.
lots of uses anyway
