Perhaps it would be better to use a notification system instead of checking for file changes? Specifically, I'm thinking that we should be able to use, say, 'inotify' to notify us that a file has changed. When such a notification is sent Octave could then re-read the file. This would probably also be faster than the current approach of scanning for file changes. Søren -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
