Hello; We are working on an application that needs to grab files put onto an ext3 filesystem as soon as they are written. We've looked at lsof, and other tools, and are having troubles finding just the right mechanism to tell when a file has been completely written and the other process has closed the file. In most cases it will be Samba users putting the files onto the ext3 filesystem that we need to process immediatitely, and we will also need to allow NFS users to put files onto the ext3 filesystem. In both cases, we need low-level knowledge of when the file is written completely so we can grab the sucker right away. Any help would be appreciated! John Fraser VisionShare Inc.
