Hi All,

I can't actually remember if I've posted to this list before about this;
or even if it's completely on-topic for incron and its planned
recursive-directory-watching, but... *shrugs*... Anyhow, I made some
significant modifications to the pyinotify project to allow it to startup
very quickly recursively monitoring very large directory trees (millions
of files, 10s-of-thousands of subdirectories). This operates in Production
for many months now (since roughly mid last year) capturing roughly
20-30,000 file move/add/change/delete events per day. I am happy to
forward the ready-to-use source on to anyone interested in a solution
until incron has been updated :)

many regards,
