OK, so this may be a little off-topic, but here goes:
The reason I switched to OpenSolaris was primarily to take advantage of ZFS's
features when storing my digital imaging collection.
I switched from a pretty stock Linux setup, but it left me at one
disadvantage. I had been using inotify under Linux to trigger a series of Ruby
scripts that would do all the basic ingestion/setup for me (renaming files,
converting to DNG, adding bulk metadata). The scripts will run under
OpenSolaris, except for the inotify part.
Question: Is there a facility similar to inotify that I can use to monitor a
directory structure in OpenSolaris/ZFS, such that it will block until a file
is modified (added, deleted, etc), and then pass the state along (STDOUT is
fine)? One other requirement: inotify can handle subdirectories being added on
the fly. So if you use it to monitor, for example, /data/images/incoming, and
a /data/images/incoming/100canon directory gets created, then the files under
that directory will automatically be monitored as well.
Thanks,
Paul Archer
