I think if you want to catch file creation, you have to watch /etc,
wait for create events and filter for the crontab files. So, I think
it would have to be something like:
out=`inotifywait -e create /etc`; do
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
set -- $out
case "$3" in
crontab|fcrontab) do stuff ;;
*) ;;
esac
fi
Or, more likely is that you'll have to check whether crontab or
fcrontab exist initially and modify your command accordingly.
