I have a SL5.0 installation and I want to monitor a directory for new files (FTP), when a file is created a script should be executed to do something with the contents of the file and the remove the file. When I do a locate on inotify and dnotify they are both found. dnotify is found in directories of gamin and kernel. When I try to execute dnotify I get a command not found error, the same with inotify. When I try the examples at http://www.linuxjournal.com/print/8478, http://edoceo.com/creo/inotify/, http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-inotify.html, ... all I get is errors and not founds. How can I check if inotify is (correctly) installed and available ? Where can I find some good examples to use on SL5.0 ? Or is there an alternative in order to raise an event every time a file is created in a specified directory ? I also asked this question in some newsgroups, the only answer I got was to hack my ftpdeamon (vsftpd). (I am webdeveloper (PHP, javascript, Ajax, ...) and install LAMPs on SL5.0, but that is it, for now anyway). Thanx, Johan -- VLIZ
