shamrock: that's why I put in the wiki link anyway ...
prvnrk: it's probably not so simple as to just compile the thing on Solaris, because it depends on the availability of various system calls and other pieces of infrastructure. The one I was thinking of is related to
dbus but I can't recall its name. Here's another one:
Monitor Linux file system events with inotify
Googling for "solaris dnotify" mainly brings up links discussing how it's not available, but I didn't look very closely; maybe you can find something similar. Actually, "solaris inotify" brings up some rather promising hits; look at
Summer of Code - Genunix and
UNIX man pages : inotify (7) which says the following:
Quote:
The inotify API is Linux specific. Some other systems provide similar mechanisms, e.g., FreeBSD has kqueue, and Solaris has /dev/poll.
Edit: Hmm, I guess /dev/poll is not what you want. The Summer of Code link takes you to a thread where they discuss a possible future mechanism ("future" relative to 2006; we can only speculate what happened then ...) so things are not so promising. One of the messages says you have the basic kernel support but it should be exposed to userland. Here's another one for you:
Nabble - Gnome - Lib - Gamin - General - Try to port gamin to Solaris

inotify_rm_watch
INOTIFY_RM_WATCH(2) Linux Programmer's Manual INOTIFY_RM_WATCH(2)
NAME
inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/inotify.h>
int inotify_rm_watch(int fd, int wd);
DESCRIPTION
inotify_rm_watch() removes the watch associated with the watch descriptor wd from the inotify instance associated with the file descriptor
fd.
Removing a watch causes an IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor. (See inotify(7).)
RETURN VALUE
On success, inotify_rm_watch() returns zero, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).
ERRORS
EBADF fd is not a valid file descriptor.
EINVAL The watch descriptor wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor.
VERSIONS
Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel.
CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux-specific.
