For "as soon as it happens" i would suggest you build yourself something around inotify. Which is availe for Linux Kernel 2.6.10 and newer. The "IN_CLOSE_WRITE" is likely the event you are looking for. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.
