Interesting...that is just accounting, though, and doesn't let you
"intervene" with the file creation/modfication, right?
There are also all kinds of very hacky things you can do with named
pipes that can mimic some of the behavior you might want. And I
other people do stuff with cron jobs when you don't have to
"intervene" with the modification and can deal with what I guess
would be technically a "race condition" (file created and destroyed
before cron job runs).
So what are you really trying to do here?
