Wow. That's *a lot* easier than what I came up with.

Hello.
I need to check for new or updated files in a directory and execute a
script on them whenever that happens.
Before I launch on complicated scripting, is there some
utility/port/deamon that already does this?

You're mistaken. ;-) 495736 / 507630, with some margin for free
space, means you're full.

You probably have a lot of hidden files covered by the mounted filesystems.

If there are files hidden by a covering mount, you won't find them
when those filesystems are mounted.
