Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags, not HTML tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves multiple space for indenting or fixed-width data.

Mod Comment I've tried to join all this up. I apologise if I've guessed wrong, but this seemed to make sense.

Either inotifywait is not installed or it's not in your PATH.

You don't tell us your OS version or shell, so please can you show us (wrapped in CODE tags) the output for:-
Code:
uname -a
ps
echo $PATH
find / -iname inotifywait



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

Below output from server where inotifywait is not working
Code:
[root@AEU12AAA001CAB ~]# find / -iname inotifywait
[root@AEU12AAA001CAB ~]#
