I am trying to setup a way to watch each file that is created, updated, and deleted through samba. I have currently looked at inotify but I am not sure if that is the best way. What suggestions would you have to setup a way to get some type of event when one of these actions occur? I would like to watch a directory recursively and be able to run a shell script or perl script and that script know the file name and path. Let me know, thanks Clinton Mills

Thank you for the information.
Is there anyway to run a perl script or shell script when the extd_audit command
that sees a log of 0 or 1?
Log Level Log Details - File and Directory Operations
0 Make Directory, Remove Directory, Unlink
1 Open Directory, Rename File, Change Permissions/ACLs
Then pass the file that was created or unlinked to the script?
I know I could watch the log, but I thought there would be a better way. Kind of
link how the recycle works. It intercepts the unlink and moves it.
I also could just watch for when something was written. That is what I really
need.
ssize_t skel_write(int fd, char *data, size_t n)
{
return underlying.write(fd, data, n);
}
I want the easiest way to do this without having the edit the source code. I am
sure someone has done something like this before.
Thanks in advance.

Inotify is your best bet because otherwise you won't see files that are created in any other way except through samba. There's lots of ways files get added, changed, or deleted. inotify catches them all. Of course, you have to combine it with inotifywait and a script for a full solution. -- Eric Robinson -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+eric.robinson=psmnv.com@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+eric.robinson=psmnv.com@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Andrea Zagli Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 4:31 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Files monitoring through Samba Il giorno lun 02 feb 2009 21:51:13 CET, Clinton Mills ha scritto:> I am trying to setup a way to watch each file that is created, > updated, and deleted through samba.
