Change AIX Management Directory

Question

I am on AIX 5.3 and I am a complete noob with this OS. I was wondering if there is something like inotify on AIX to track directories and files for changes instead of polling. I am going to do this from Java, so solutions using Java or C (I can just wrap it with jni or jna) are fine. I would prefer not to use any shell scripts or system configuration items.

Answer 1

you can try to see if there are hooks in the audit, and it sounds as if you might have functionality.
