from man inotify : IN_ACCESS File was accessed (read) (*). IN_ATTRIB Metadata changed, e.g., permissions, timestamps, extended attributes, link count (since Linux 2.6.25), UID, GID, etc. (*). IN_CLOSE_WRITE File opened for writing was closed (*). IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE File not opened for writing was closed (*). IN_CREATE File/directory created in watched directory (*). IN_DELETE File/directory deleted from watched directory (*). IN_DELETE_SELF Watched file/directory was itself deleted. IN_MODIFY File was modified (*). IN_MOVE_SELF Watched file/directory was itself moved. IN_MOVED_FROM File moved out of watched directory (*). IN_MOVED_TO File moved into watched directory (*). IN_OPEN File was opened (*). So you cant prevent a file to be changed, cause you will only be warned AFTER. Maybe you should have a look to Dazuko : http://dazuko.dnsalias.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page On 07/07/2010 09:42, supercodeing35271 supercodeing35271 wrote:
I am now thinking on monitor the filesystem in linux, for this reason the inotify is a good way.But the problem is that what i want to do is not only monitor but a handle.This situation is like that a file in system has been changed unusually,now the inotity could tell me this but i want to intercept the change before the file been changed. So does anyone could give me a help on HOWTO? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
