Is there any convenient way for a process (on Xenix 2.3.2 if that's relevant) to sleep on the event that a known (spool) directory gets modified by the creation of a file in that directory? -- Dave Eisen dkeisen@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU 1447 N.

Do you mean "sleep until the directory gets modified, then do something" or "do something until the directory gets modified, then sleep?" - paul INTERNET: paul@devon.lns.pa.us | Most of us know how to say nothing.
