Examples: # Event emitted when file is created, modified or deleted start on file FILE=/run/app.pid # Event emitted when file is created (only) start on file FILE=/run/app.pid EVENT=created # Event emitted when files within a directory are created, # modified or deleted. start on file FILE=/var/log/ # Event emitted when files that match a glob pattern are # created in the indicated directory. start on file FILE=/var/crash/*.crash EVENT=created See upstart-file-bridge(8) and file-event(7) for further details. - upstart-monitor: a very simple tool (*) that can run in either CLI or GUI mode either connected to PID 1 or a Session Init (as root or non-root) that allows users and admins to see event flows. See upstart-monitor(8) for further details (and [1] for obligatory screenshot). Thanks to all involved! Download Upstart 1.8 from launchpad: https://launchpad.net/upstart Kind regards, James. (*) - If you are interested in contributing to Upstart, we'd love to hear from you. Now is a great time to get involved, since with the advent of the upstart-monitor the fun expands to include GUI hackers too ;-) [1] - http://ifdeflinux.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/a-basic-upstart-events-gui-and-cli-tool.html -- James Hunt ____________________________________ #upstart on freenode http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
