Re: monitoring a directory's used space

[Adam Wolfe]

dnotify has been replaced by inotify and incrontab.  Both of which seem 
to not play friendly with variables.

Any other thoughts?

Is it possible to use monit's "check file" using wildcards?  Say, 
something like:

"check file client-stuff with /path/to/file/* (or 
/path/to/file/partial-filname*?)
    if space > 0B
    then alert
    then exec my-sync-script"

?

Would that work or does monit not accept wildcards in the "check file" 
statement?

For anyone just now joining, I'm trying to monitor when files are placed 
in a directory and when they are, send an email then run a sync to an 
ftp for dev/client to pick up.
