Hi Jeffrey, you may looking for the inotify(7) API and/or the inotifiwait(1)/inotifywatch(1) command line tools. These latter ones usually shipped within the inotify-tools package. Andras On Tue, 31 Mar 2020, Jeffrey Walton wrote:
Hi Everyone,
I have some build scripts that allow me to install updated developer tools on older machines. It builds and installs tools like Git, Curl and Wget. It also builds dependencies. The scripts can handle about 80 packages.
One of those scripts is building a package that is performing a wayward write during 'make install'. It is not using my specified --libdir; instead it appears to hard code ${prefix}/lib. The incorrect hard coded path breaks on Red Hat systems and Solaris. I need to determine the offender.
On Windows I would use Process Monitor, run the programs and then filter the events. I'm trying to find a Linux equivalent but neither strace nor ltrace looks like an equivalent. For strace and ltrace it does not look like I can setup a filter and get the process name.
How can I monitor filesystem writes to a specific directory?
Thanks in advance.
