[LUG] monitoring a file

 

I am trying to determine the best way to monitor changes to a directory on
my server.
As soon as the diectory contents are updated I want another event to take
place.
I have a file alteration monitor called fam (not suprisingly) on my
mandrake distro but I'm not too sure how to talk to it!!!! (the man file
is a bit obscure)

Any suggestions please.

Thanks in advance

James
