Once upon a time Ben Scott shaped the electrons to say...
transfering files. The userland program that registered itself with fam
worked well, but fam itself was flakey. Granted this was on Irix 6.1.
However, as a generic solution, it's not good, and very platform dependent.
Not the right way to go.

SGI do something called FAM to watch for changes to the filesystem -
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/index.html - but this only works for
Irix/Linux according to the FAQ (though I think there's a Solaris port),
and isn't standard in a lot of distributions.
Just thought I'd mention this - I don't know how suitable it would be as
I've not used it from a developers POV!
