Although I agree with Mezz that gamin rocks, there is a bug that still exists with regards to soft symlink directories. Try this: cd ~ mkdir dir1 ln -s dir1 dir2 bring up nautilus and look at dir1. touch dir1/file1 all is perfect. Now, look at dir2 with nautilus. touch dir1/file2 never shows. It would appear that a request to monitor a directory that is a symlink will not monitor the actual directory it is pointing to. I think this works with fam. I seem to remember seeing it do the right thing. Cheers, Sean
