Only a few sysfs attributes have poll/select support, and I don't know if that's enough for inotify or if you also need some sort of special inotify support in sysfs (something I don't know if is even possible but I could check). The attributes with poll/select support are documented in the thinkpad-acpi driver documentation on the kernel sources, at Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt. If inotify is indeed impossible, you will need perl, python or C to deal with poll/select, shell can't do it AFAIK. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
