Hi Uli, I did try various combinations of the flags, and I even tried listening for all events:
UKKQueueNotifyAboutRename | UKKQueueNotifyAboutWrite | UKKQueueNotifyAboutDelete | UKKQueueNotifyAboutAttributeChange I din't receive events having done a cvs commit on a file. However, I do get notified if I edit the file externally using vi or some other editor. I googled quite a bit but I can't find out what CVS actually does during a commit. I guess I'll try to dig some more. Perhaps I can get the source code for CVS and check there.
