I have FAM (info: Ishtar:../build/SGI-FAM-2.000> rpm -qi fam Name : fam Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.7.0 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 146.1 Build Date: Fri 18 Feb 2011 01:25:55 PM PST Install Date: Sun 22 May 2011 02:21:36 PM PDT Build Host: build24 Group : System/Daemons Source RPM: fam-2.7.0-146.1.src.rpm Size : 86948 License: LGPLv2.1+ Signature : RSA/8, Fri 18 Feb 2011 01:25:46 PM PST, Key ID b88b2fd43dbdc284 Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ Summary : File Alteration Monitoring Daemon Description : Fam is a file alteration monitoring service. With it, you can receive signals when files are created or changed. This package provides libfam, which is used by KDE and GNOME. It also provides a tool for the console called fileschanged. To use fam notifications (it can reduce the network load on NFS servers, especially if they host user home directories) you need to run the fam daemon, which can be found in the fam-server package. Authors: -------- Bruce Karsh Bob Miller SGI corp. Author of fileschanged command line tool: Ben Asselstine <bda@panix.com> Distribution: openSUSE 11.4 -----------------) installed. This perl module has absolutely no clue about how to talk with out. It seems like this module is about 5-6 years out of date, and has gotten the standard 'CPAN support'... module should have been deleted ages ago so people won't try it.

Obviously the test is bogus, since the included program, 'monitor' says to type in the name of a file to monitor... Well first problem if I try to run in in /the make dir via 'look makefire'... and try to run the monitor program...
