Could anyone tell me what needs to be done for the following sample scenarios to work on a Sun 4.03 environment? 1) If anyone modifies a file in my home directory, I want a script to be triggered that will make a "diff" of the old and new files? 2) Anytime a directory is opened, closed, or modified or a printer is brought up or down, I want a signal to be sent to my active process to perform "certain actions." Specifically, I will appreciate if anyone can tell me how much changes need to be made at the kernel level, the order of difficulty for a "non-hacker" to make these changes, and pointers to man pages, manuals, or books. Thanks. muru
