changedfiles 0.9.4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/118120/

changedfiles is a framework for filesystem replication, security monitoring, and/or automatic file transformations--essentially any application where you'd poll files or directories and either do something to them or send them somewhere else (or both). The difference is, the kernel tells you when they change, instead of you having to poll. Besides which, it's an easy real time FTP push mirror to one or multiple sites. The changedfiles system consists of two parts: a kernel module (works with Linux kernel version 2.4) which reports to a device whenever a file on the filesystem changes, and a daemon which runs in user space and can be configured to do almost any action when a change to a file matching the one of the patterns it looks for is reported. The kernel module is SMP safe and has been tested on Intel, PowerPC, and Alpha.
