There's no good reason to reimplement that code yourself. Yeah I know.... I'll try to stick in the high level, but I'm worried about dependencies. It makes no sense to have /lib/libkdb.so depending on libs under /usr/lib. The 5 minutes I spent reading about inotify made me believe it is a kernel module, but I couldn't find it, nor the /dev entry, nor the dmesg messages in the FC2 machine I have close to me right now. Is this stuff already included in regular distros kernels ? I'm still studing all of this.... Regards, Avi
