Monitor filesystem Events - saviovettoor/DevOps-wiki GitHub Wiki

Following are some list of filesystem event notifier tools in linux.

  • inotify-tools
  • Pyinotify - high-level Python interface to inotify, makes it very easy to write Python based scripts for watching files.
  • IWatch - simple Perl script using inotify to watch files and directories, sending notifications of file changes by e-mail.
  • Incron - inotify cron-like system; run commands when certain filesystem events occur.
  • Logsend - daemon for e-mail notification of log file changes. Its inotify backend uses inotify-tools.
  • Mswatch - keeps Unix mailboxes synchronized using inotify (or dnotify on older kernels).
  • Inotail - a version of the tail utility which uses inotify to avoid polling for changes.
