Kernel event notification
 
Hello,

I want to write a program that will be notified by kernel ( or something similar ) for system events. Like, someone opens a file ABC then my program should get notification about that change.

Is it possible? If so, how?

Thanks for help! :)

You probably looking for inotify.

@firstfire - Thanks for help! It looks like it will work only for filesystems. Or can it work for anything else? ( May be like, someone started new process?! )
