As you would expect this is not an very efficient method, lots of applications could all be continuously polling files causing a lot of disk activity and sucking up CPU time. The old method of doing this is by continuously polling the file/directory in a loop (usually with a little delay). file managers,email arrival notification,etc.). nautilus uses it when available.ДЇAM is made out of two parts, famd the actual daemon application and a libfam which client applications can use to communicate with FAM.ДЇamd can be run as an xinetd service or just always started a boot.ДЇAM solves a common problem encountered in writing applications which have to react when a file or directory changes (e.g. It is developed by SGI and often used by applications such as file managers, e.g. Now, whatever I want to do with the apt-get it complains about unmet dependencies (for Gnome) and refuses to yield to my commands (who is the Master here, me or.?) unless I reinstall that FAM.Дў) Started downloading latest Gentoo ISO,ДЈ) Found a package called equivs and currently investigating what it can do for me.ДЇAM (File Alteration Monitor) is a daemon which can be used to get notification when a file or directory changes.

Since my box is not exposed directly to the Internet, I decided I do not need the damn thing and used dpkg to purge it. (I configured it NOT to monitor NFS volumes, dunno why it still feels offended.)

Now, I use various progs from my Debian desktop to concurrently access those files (Audacity, Midnight Commander, Nautilus, xterm, etc.) This seems to be too much for poor old fam, because at some point it fills all the RAM and eats up all the CPU resources and makes my PC really slow. It's running FreeBSD and I use NFS to share my files stored there. I use an old 486 as a gateway/firewall for my home network, with a new HDD as only decent piece of h/w.
