Of course this only works on Linux, since you did not mention a specific operating system. Watching for attribute changes would look like this: iwatch -c script-to-run.sh -e attrib,modify /directory/to/watch Iwatch can also send emails and has a good documentation for its features and usage. Caleb 2011-04-03T06:12:40+08:002011-04-03T06:12:40+08:00 I think you are going to want to install inotify-tools. You can watch a file and get notified with the contents change, attributes are touched, etc. sapguy 2011-04-04T06:38:34+08:002011-04-04T06:38:34+08:00 On windows there is this shareware: http://www.datamystic.com/filewatcher.html Best Answer abenci 2011-05-02T22:24:01+08:002011-05-02T22:24:01+08:00 The best tool found so far is 'Watch 4 Folder', it allows to specify the folder to be monitored and all the status changes on the included files.
