A script to provide Growl notices on folder modification
Authored by: tinpan on May 18, '06 08:23:34AM

Cool. I'm going to mod this so it emails a user when their drop box on the OS X server is modified.

BTW: Does anyone know how to get notified if anything at any level under a folder is modified? When I've tried to watch folders I only get a "hit" if the contents are modified at the first level and no "hit" if sub-folders' contents are modified. These folders can contain thousands of sub-folders, so a watching each sub-folder and automatically generating and updating those watches slows computers to a crawl. Launchd is no better and 10.4 only. I considered using fs_usage, but that's also 10.4 only and I need a solution for 10.4 and 10.3. Any ideas?
