renamed", and not "contents of any file in a directory". As such, there is
nothing to configure. An application uses the appropriate Gamin/FAM >> API,
and then gets notified when that happens.

I am referring http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2001/article199.shtml
& http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/faq.html , which says FAM can report when
a file is created, deleted, modified, or executed. So if a file gets
modified , isn't that sufficient to initiate sync to other location? Please
correct me if I am wrong.

What I want is:
1) If a file changes (file contents also) it should fire a command for
syncing to other network location.

Thanks.

Rahul.
