Hi,

Find the project details below:

inotify-tools

This project provides some tools (your OS kernel should support) and it is very much easy to integrate into a script. It can even wait for a change in a particular directory/file and trigger an action inside your program.

Note: It cannot monitor any changes on a filesystem other than local.
