Re: Notification of changes to file system in IFS (new files/changed file/etc)

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's possible to attach a journal to an IFS directory.  Whenever something 
happens in that directory, a journal entry is received.  So you could have 
a program that sits on the RCVJRNE command to receive the journal entries 
and operate on them.

There's also an open source tool called MONIFS that's available from 
www.Easy400.net.  I haven't used it, but it might be worth looking into. I 
think it's part of the IFSTOOL package.
