I have searched the news-group but have not found anyone that has asked this question. If it has been and i have missed it please point me in the right direction. I am using FAM on a box that waits for files to be placed in folders. Once the it is notified about a new file it will run a script that i have created. However if the file shows up on another box it is never notified about the new file. ----- ----- - M - link - M - - 1 - ---------- - 2 - ----- ----- So machine 1 (M1) runs the script and the storage is shared between it and Machine 2 (M2). If M2 get's the file than M1 does not know about it and does not run the script. Is there some method that M2 can notify M1 via gfs methods that a file was created/changed? I can just move the script to the other box, i just want to be sure that there is not something that i can set to get this to work the way i want. I know this has something to do with the kernel. if i do a touch on the file on M1 than the script will launch. I hope i have explained this well enough. Thanks for your time.
