Hi, I have been trying to get the FreeBSD port of FAM to run on Mac OS X 10.3.4 (Panther). However, I haven't had any luck so far. Could someone guide me on how I should go about doing this. I am new to the Mac, so a detailed description will be helpful.
From what I have figured so far, I need to install the
mntent extension. I am not sure whether this is possible under the Mac or not. Help on this will also be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Krishna Monian --- Olivier Kaloudoff <kalou@kalou.net> wrote:
Hi All,
Hi Sir Monian,
I am currently trying to write a file logger, which
logs every single file access (read, write, delete)
on
a specified volume.
Could someone brief me on what would the best way
be
to go about doing this. Would it have to be in
kernel
mode or can it be done in user mode?
You might take a look at SGI FAM, the File
Alteration Monitor,
that is already available for many flavors of unix,
including
*BSD. Some posts in the forums show that port for
osx has been
at least tried if not already succeeded;
What is FAM?
FAM, the File Alteration Monitor, provides an API
that applications can
use to be notified when specific files or
directories are changed.
FAM comes in two parts: fam, the daemon that listens
for requests and
delivers notification, and libfam, a library that
client applications can
use to communicate with fam.
FAM was originally written for IRIX in 1989 by Bruce
Karsh, and was
rewritten in 1995 by Bob Miller. This open-source
release of FAM builds
and runs on both Linux and IRIX, and is almost
identical to the version of
FAM that ships with IRIX 6.5.x.
Maybe would be worth to join the port effort ?
