I just read an interesting article caleed "Monitor Linux file system events with inotify.", see http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-inotify.html?ca=dgr-ln....
I notice that /dev/inotify is not present on my CentOS4 system, so the necessary kernel patches are probably not present.
Does anyone know if there are any plans afoot to provide this functionality for rhel systems?
