How about a consumer for gvfs-monitor-dir(1) or gvfs-monitor-

The docs are... ummm... "skimpy" is being rather polite. The docs I
can find via Google say that they will launch some random
unspecified daemons via d-bus (I assume gvfsd ans gvfsd-$
{accessmethod}). This implies that you need to start a d-bus session
to use them. gvfsd (no man page or docs of any kind that I can find)
is linked against libgio, which has unresolved symbols against
port_create() and friends, which is a good sign that they don't just
poll.
I haven't dug into the details, and this has nothing to do with ZFS, but
observe the following example:
$ gvfs-monitor-file /zwimming/whee
File Monitor Event:
File = /zwimming/whee
Event = ATTRIB CHANGED
File Monitor Event:
File = /zwimming/whee
Event = CHANGED
File Monitor Event:
File = /zwimming/whee
Event = CHANGES_DONE_HINT
...while in another tab I simply did "touch /zwimming/whee"
gvfs-* commands seem more suitable for scripts or programs
than humans. But it doesn't look like a difficult script to write
in any of the scripting languages. I presume the gvfs-*
commands will be more portable than inotify & others...?
