You could use a program called bxcopy. It monitors the whole server or a
directory for changes in files etc.

> In a directory (c:\files\) I have 4-5 fiels, say File1.txt, File2.txt,
> ect.. If File2.txt gets deleted I'd liek to know about it right away.

> my $Path = "c:/files/";
> my $WatchSubTree = "1";
> my $Events = "FILE_NAME";
> my $notify =
> Win32::ChangeNotify->new($Path,$WatchSubTree,$Events);
> until ($notify->reset)
> {
> $bMail = 1; # flag to trigger a sub to send a mail or something
> }
> else
> {
> $notify->wait; # keep on monitoring
> }

> Does ayone have a better way to monitor files?
