Samba server with notification emails
I'm creating a ubuntu samba server that sends out email notifications when a file a new file is created in the monitored directory.

Currently im using inotifywait to monitor a directory and send out a email notification. Inotify wait works great but it gets triggered whenever any file including temp files are created. Is it possible either with inotifywait or another tool to only trigger if the created file has a .doc or docx extension.

Use the --exclude option on inotifywait.

Code:
inotifywait --exclude '(*docx$|*doc$)'  [other options.....]

Is it safe to assume that if I only want it to trigger if its a .doc then I can use the following
Code:
inotifywait --exclude '(*doc$)'  [other options.....
