TimeWarp File Change Monitor

The File Change Monitor is the primary application in the TimeWarp Suite. It is responsible for

1. Reading the config files.

2. Establishing live watches on the appropriate file systems and directories.

3. Starting the Scheduler as a sub process with appropriate arguments.

4. Adding appropriate items to the master queue as files change in the watched directories.

The iNotify library is used to monitor the file system for changes.

iNotify Events

The iNotify library geneates a number of different events when files are changed - the Table attempts to categorise these in terms of what applications trigger which events, and how they are recorded in the queue.
