I am trying to understand how inotify works and it seems that you need to program stuff in C for it to work.

Since I don't know C, I was wondering if there is a program or script already made to monitor a single directory.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Regards

  • It's been around for quite some time, and is widely used. You can make whatever assumptions you want from that.

Check out incron. Incron uses the inotify kernel hooks to let you run cron-like commands when certain specified events happen on the filesystem.
