Changedfiles is a tool that enables kernel file change notifications and executes userspace commands, as well as mirroring files. It has multiple applications in monitoring and managing file changes in a system.
The changedfiles system is made up of two main components. Firstly, there is a kernel module (compatible only with Linux 2.4) that keeps track of when a file on the file system changes. Secondly, there is a daemon that runs in user space and can be configured to perform various actions when a file matching certain patterns is altered.
One standout feature of the daemon is its ability to support real-time in-process FTP mirroring. Additionally, the software also acts as a MySQL database client. These features make the software an ideal choice for those who require robust functionality.
While the current release has been deemed stable and compatible with single- or multi-processor Alpha, PowerPPC, and Intel Linux systems running kernel versions greater than 2.4, it is important to note that it is still considered a development release. That being said, if you are in need of the unique features offered by this software, it is definitely worth giving it a try.
