[snip] I'm trying to use the fam module from cli-php5 with the example code from http://de2.php.net/manual/en/ref.fam.php. It works, but when I copy a big file into an observed folder, I get a FAMCreated for the file, and then, while the copying is still in progress, multiple FAMChanged. I want to watch a folder and process the files that are either new or changed. Currently, I would end up processing a new or changed file n times, with n depending on the file's size. I'd like to get ONE FAMCreated for a new file AFTER it was completely created and ONE FAMChanged for a file AFTER a process is done changing it. Is that possible? [/snip] Because the stat of the file changes you will get multiple FAMChanged. You may have to test for a time since last FAMChanged and wait a suitable amount of time to take any actions on the file. [snip] Also, when I watch i.e. /mnt, FAM doesn't notify me of events in /mnt's subdirectories, the monitoring seems to be non-recursive. Can I change this, or will I have to fam_monitor_directory each directory separately? [/snip] fam_monitor_directory is non-recursive.
