I'd like to know if there is currently a way to monitor the creation and/or modification of new or old files. One of the very few annoyances of UNIX systems is that programs tend to spred their files throughout various directories. Package managers have helped the situation but they are useless once one starts to upgrade one's system with updated programs compiled from its source. I figure the best way the start to aliviate this situation would be to be able to monitor the create of new files, installation of files, and the modification of old files. The ability to monitor would also be useful for anti-hacker programs as well as others. My problem currently is that I do not know if such a capability currently exists. If it doesn't I would be very interested in writing such a capability into the kernel, so I would also appreciate any suggentions of where the modification such be made. At the file system level? Other level, etc? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.altern.org/andrebalsa/doc/lkml-faq.html | ||||||||||||
