Hi all You will find attached a implementation of fswatcher using the FAM API. It should link either with FAM (1) or gamin (2), which are available on different flavors of unix. The goal is to take advantage of existing facilities and getting rid of timers. FAM and gamin use kernel helpers to avoid polling when they can.
The code probably has some bugs and I'm not sure I followed exactly the different notifications semantics but it's a start. I tested it with GWorkspace and it seems to work well. Opinions ? Philippe NB : fswatcher parameter '--daemon' results in the opposite, or I am missing something ? 1 - http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ 2 - http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/ -- The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
