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.
while there is no inotify for Solaris, there are similar technologies available.
Check port_create(3C) and gam_server(1)
I can't find much on gam_server on Solaris (couldn't find too much on it at
all, really), and port_create is apparently a system call. (I'm not a
developer--if I can't write it in BASH, Perl, or Ruby, I can't write it.)
I appreciate the suggestions, but I need something a little more pret-a-porte.
Does anyone have any dtrace experience? I figure this could probably be done
with dtrace, but I don't know enough about it to write a dtrace script
(although I may learn if that turns out to be the best way to go). I was
hoping that there'd be a script out there already, but I haven't turned up
anything yet.
