Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Get directory stats when a file has been modified?
I am currently trying to poll for changes in a directory, only by looking at the directory status (modification time). I have many files in many directories and I need to know what file has been changed and in what directory, without scanning all the directories.
Is there anything in the directory file descriptor that encompasses this situation.
regards
emb.

This may be able to do what you want... I'm sure there are many others out there or you could write your own daemon to watch a folder/folders.

If you want to re-invent the wheel, read 'man 2 stat'.
