yes, File Events Notification (FEN) http://blogs.sun.com/praks/entry/file_events_notification you access this through the event port API. http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/event_completion.html gnome-vfs uses FEN, but unfortunately gnomevfs-monitor will only watch a specific directory. I think you'll need to write your own code to watch all directories in a tree. -- Kjetil T.
