I've just now been reading about dnotify and inotify, and while if they existed on my system could work for this, I still think direct support would be cleaner and more efficient. D/I notify both require kernel patches not available on all Linux systems (and not at all on non-Linux systems).
Inotify is avalaible as a patch for 2.6. dnotify is included in the kernel, since 2.4.something and does not requires patches. You only need userspace tools (only 1 file).
And in fact inotify's been rolled into 2.6.13 and up, no patch needed.
