Hi,

I need to monitor a path and react to the creation of a file described
by this path description.

The Linux inotify subsystem seems like the best way to achieve this -
instead of having code that periodically runs (probe-path "....").  So
I'm thinking of interfacing with inotify-tools (http://inotify-
tools.sourceforge.net/), via SBCL's sb-ext:run-program function.

Anybody else done something similar?
