Greetings, I'm writing a little application that needs to watch a file that another process is writing to, think 'tail -F'. kqueue and kevent are going to do it for me on *BSD, but I'm also trying to support *cough* linux and other UN*X types OSes. >From what I can find on google, the linux community seems very opposed to kqueue and has not yet implemented it (they say: blah blah blah, aio_*, blah blah balh.) What alternatives do I have with OSes that don't support kqueue? I'd really hate to poll with stat(), but do I have any other choices? Thanks, Matthew
