How to use inotify in C?

问题 I searched for questions related to inotify, and this one is somewhat different... I use the following code to monitor change of one file (not directory). In testing, the read() does return when I save the target file which means it works. But event->mask is 32768 which is not IN_MODIFY and name is empty. Another issue: it cannot monitor continuously. When I change the file the second time, it has no response. Thank you for the help! #include <sys/inotify.h> #include <unistd.h> #include

Premature IN_CLOSE_WRITE notification with pyinotify

问题 I am experiencing the following situation: pyinotify monitors a file for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events I change something in the file and save it the event is triggered I read the file and see that it has no changes Having tinkered with this a little bit, I noticed that it works fine when I am debugging. I set a breakpoint on the line that reads the file, thus adding a little delay. After that - the file is read and the changes are there. So, it seems that adding a time.sleep(1) , or delaying

Do any POSIX functions or glibc extensions implement a breadth-first file tree walk?

问题 I am writing a daemon that utilizes inotify to monitor file access and it is critical that I don't miss anything on a recursive search. I found this interesting idea and have begun to implement it. ftw() and ftw64() do not use a breadth-first algorithm, its more "pre-order". nftw() gives me the option of depth-first, but I'm worried about races in upper leaves. I'm hoping that I'm missing something, perhaps a GNU extension? Or am I just looking at implementing my own with type safe call backs

NodeJS Filesystem Watch throwing event twice or more often

问题 I'm watching the config files of my NodeJS server on Ubuntu using: for( var index in cfgFiles ) { fs.watch(cfgFiles[index], function(event, fileName) { logger.info("======> EVENT: " + event); updateConfigData(fileName); }); } So whenever I save a config file, the "change" event is received at least twice by the handler function for the same file name causing updateConfigData() to be executed multiple times. I experienced the same behavior when watching config files using C++/iNotify. Does

Linux: Triggering Shell Command On File Save

问题 I want to automatically trigger a shell command when a file is modified. I think this can be accomplished in code by registering an inotify hook and call to system , however is there a higher level bash command that can accomplish this? 回答1: Try inotify-tools. I'm having problems copying the link (sorry), but there is a wiki on GitHub which yu should be able to find with G-search-engine. 回答2: I don't have a solution to your problem, but I've found this nice program that you might use the

Using inotify to keep track of all files in a system

生来就可爱ヽ(ⅴ<●) 提交于 2019-12-22 08:18:33
问题 Question: Can inotify be used to reliably record files in a [linux] system? Details: I am attempting to use inotifywait to track users movements (currently using bash, but it has been suggested that I migrate to a scripting language). Ultimately I want to add new files to a database upon creation ( create , moved_from ), update existing rows in a database upon file modification ( modify , attrib , move_to ), and finally remove a row upon file deletion ( delete ). I am, however, running into

Can iNotify tell me where a monitored file is moved?

问题 I want to monitor a file while it's moving in the system. Can iNotify tell me its new position whenever it's moves? 回答1: If you're watching both the directory the file was moved from, and the directory the file was moved to, then you will receive an IN_MOVED_FROM event on the source directory and an IN_MOVED_TO event on the target directory, both with the same cookie . You can then use the name fields of the two events to find out where the file was moved to and from. If you're only watching

inotify - how to find out which user has modified file?

跟風遠走 提交于 2019-12-20 20:39:06
问题 I'm looking for guidance on how to find out which user has modified a particular file. While inotify is great to get notification when a particular file is touched, how do I figure out which user has modified that file? I can think of using lsof but I'm afraid that it may not be as "realtime" as I want and/or it might be too much of a tax on resources. By realtime, I mean that if a user simply executes a touch command on a file, by the time I run lsof on file, it may not be picked up by lsof
