File Watch 1.2

Filewatch uses the linux 'fanotify' subsystem to monitor filesystem events. It can trigger on open, modify and close events and write to logs, send to syslog, exec a command, or update filesystem extended attributes (xattr) in response to events, including updating a 'last changed' xattr that records who/what/when changed a file.
