Not directly and in fact, I've never encountered a request like yours
before.
I don't know what all is available for shell tool calls but <x-man-page://fs_usage
> can give you information about when a file is being read (for the
copy operation) but I think it's difficult to deduce what the name of
the new file will be. It's a bit easier to monitor a specific
application with fs_usage but there's still a lot of spew from this
facility.
There is the low-level call <x-man-page://2/kqueue> which can monitor
a specific file (with C code) and I guess what you'd want to request
is the NOTE_ATTRIB (not 100% sure about that). Maybe if you describe
in greater detail what you want to accomplish, someone could suggest
an alternate solution.
