this outlines some issues with fileschanged and some other things that need doing. ------ fileschanged ignoring certain fam codes... I'm ignoring exists and endexists. should I be? I'm doing my own accounting of files I'm monitoring. ---------- problem with monitoring a file that gets written to so repeatedly that it doesn't ever get through the FAMPending loop. eg) fileschanged --recursive --files-to-monitor /tmp/this > /tmp/this/list need a way to detect very frequently changing files and then cancel monitoring of them. eg) so frequently that the program can't operate. **this problem seems to have just "gone away"***
