To continue and close this one, I'm using iwatch right now which
internally uses inotify, though I find iwatch to be
a bit slow at times and can't keep up with lots of fs changes.
Together with iwatch I'm using csync2 to keep
a few servers in sync. This is working fine so far.
What I was actually wondering about was puppet syntax and not really
so much about how to setup watch paths.
I've found a way to do what I needed using erb and iwatch's xml config
file. I guess though that David Schmitts
suggestion was what I was looking for.
Thanks!
