As the others have said, the OS solutions are very version/distro dependent - especially under Linux which changes underlying functionality every 6 months or so (so damn annoying). A cross-platform solution is very easy to implement. It might not be as efficient as an OS specific solution, but works just as well. I've implemented such a solution in fpGUI's demo IDE application. It run in a separate thread. You can register what to watch - files or directories, and it fires an OnChange event when changes are detected. If memory serves me well, I also used a CRC check on files to detect if the file content changed (and date/time or file size wasn't). Michael van Canneyt's article (URL quoted earlier) also covers the topic.
