Sure, but in case it doesn't exist, inotify_add_watch will error out. My guess is that if /etc/crontab doesn't exist, cronie reverts to inotify_enabled = 0, and that's why I saw cronie looking every minute at /etc/cron.d. I have simplified the program and used the same masks than cronie at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/fcron/devel/fcron_config_modified.c?revision=1.2&view=markup Maybe you could implement SYSCONFDIR watching like I did to enable inotify even if /etc/crontab or /etc/cron.d is missing and watch for their creation by watching /etc. In fedora, not having /etc/crontab or /etc/cron.d present should be very rare, but in other setups this may happen. If I have time, I'll try to see logs when /etc/crontab or /etc/cron.d are not present, since cronie should state it in that case. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
