Hi folks
I have a unix script script1 in a directory folder1 and also I have few input log files in this directory. My input log files will be copied into this directory folder1 from the portable thumb drive.
Now what I want is I need to run this script1 whenever any new file is copied into this directory and also in a generic way whenever the contents(files) in this folder1 directory changes.
It may look like I can do this with some cron job set to some time intervals everyday, but it will be simply wasting the CPU resources as most of the times I will be running complex scripts other than this script.
The unix environment I am using is cygwin installed in Windows XP.
Thanks in advance..........
