My 2p - I don't see a major advantage of a monitoring daemon over a |
| 9 |
periodic full-scan, or caching the mtimes. IMO that the latter options |
| 10 |
are better on the grounds that you're not introducing an additional |
| 11 |
entity (Occam's Razor, KISS, etc. etc.), and afaics there is no |
| 12 |
significant gain of the daemon - inotify watches are not going to |
| 13 |
imply immediate updates since your tree updates will be periodic |
| 14 |
anyway. |
