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?

Why dont you setup these patches on the CentOS 4 kernel and let us know how you get along ? That link, you provided, seems to have all the info required to make it happen.

Good suggestion. When I get a round tuit <grin>. I was just fishing to see if anyone else had tried this.

just an fyi,
the inotify kernel patch still needs some work. I tried it out under ubuntu a month back (with gnome using it), and it was causing my systems to hardlock. Falling back to the previous kernel (which was the same except for inotify) solved all locking problems. Some of the kernel's I tried were vanilla 2.6.10 with no other patches applied.
so, I imagine it'll be at least two versions of rhel^H^H^H^H centos until we see it officially in the kernel.

Now that's the info I was looking for. I'm not curious enough to deal with an unstable kernel.
