I don't know this forever command (i know there was a repeat keyword in csh but i haven't used csh in a very long time) but it can be constructed very simply:
This should cover for your question about multiple directories to watch too, no?
Hi all, my RS/6k 7043 150 with aix 4.3.3 takes FOREVER to log in.

If I log in, as root, say, the machine goes to its usual blue screen... (3 Replies)

looking in pthread's source code I can see that as an epilogue both pthread_cond_timedwait and pthread_cond_wait will try to relock the mutex by means of __pthread_mutex_cond_lock.

inotify_add_watch
INOTIFY_ADD_WATCH(2) Linux Programmer's Manual INOTIFY_ADD_WATCH(2)NAME
inotify_add_watch - add a watch to an initialized inotify instance
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/inotify.h>
int inotify_add_watch(int fd, const char *pathname, uint32_t mask);
DESCRIPTION
inotify_add_watch() adds a new watch, or modifies an existing watch, for the file whose location is specified in pathname; the caller must
have read permission for this file. The fd argument is a file descriptor referring to the inotify instance whose watch list is to be modi-
fied. The events to be monitored for pathname are specified in the mask bit-mask argument. See inotify(7) for a description of the bits
that can be set in mask.
A successful call to inotify_add_watch() returns the unique watch descriptor associated with pathname for this inotify instance. If path-
name was not previously being watched by this inotify instance, then the watch descriptor is newly allocated. If pathname was already
being watched, then the descriptor for the existing watch is returned.
The watch descriptor is returned by later read(2)s from the inotify file descriptor. These reads fetch inotify_event structures (see ino-
tify(7)) indicating file system events; the watch descriptor inside this structure identifies the object for which the event occurred.
RETURN VALUE
On success, inotify_add_watch() returns a nonnegative watch descriptor. On error -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EACCES Read access to the given file is not permitted.
EBADF The given file descriptor is not valid.
EFAULT pathname points outside of the process's accessible address space.
EINVAL The given event mask contains no valid events; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor.
ENOENT A directory component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.
ENOSPC The user limit on the total number of inotify watches was reached or the kernel failed to allocate a needed resource.
VERSIONS
Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel.
CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux-specific.
