inotify-tools is a set of command-line utilities that provides a simple
|
|
interface to the inotify kernel subsystem. It allows users to monitor and react
|
|
to changes in files and directories in real-time.
|
|
|
|
The package includes two main utilities:
|
|
- inotifywait: for continuous monitoring and real-time output of
|
|
filesystem events. It is often used in shell scripts to trigger
|
|
actions like deployments, backups, or log monitoring.
|
|
- inotifywatch: gathers filesystem access statistics and outputs a
|
|
summary count of events received on each file or directory. It is
|
|
suitable for short-term monitoring to collect event statistics.
