Hmm. Wasn't aware dnotify had
been replaced, but I haven't used it in quite a while.
Checking my package repositories, there's a Debian package called
'inoticoming' which seems to be ideally suited to what
you're trying to do, although I haven't actually messed with it so
I'm not sure. The description says "trigger actions when files hit
an incoming directory"
Frankly, the only time I used dnotify was to "fix" a "bug"
in the World of Warcraft launcher, which doesn't seem to
have been an issue for a while now (under Wine, the launcher would
set the permissions of the wow.exe file to 000--apparently this
was something to inhibit a privilege escalation issue in Windows,
where it worked correctly, but under Wine it failed
spectacularly--preventing it from launching; my wow wrapper script
used dnotify to work around this, so I didn't have to keep
fixing it by hand; thankfully, not an issue anymore since I've
quit WoW completely, but that's hardly a topic for this list).

has been replaced by inotify and incrontab. Both of which seem to
not play friendly with variables.
Any other thoughts?
Is it possible to use monit's "check file" using wildcards? Say,
something like:
"check file client-stuff with /path/to/file/* (or
/path/to/file/partial-filname*?)
if space > 0B
then alert
then exec my-sync-script"
?
Would that work or does monit not accept wildcards in the "check
file" statement?
For anyone just now joining, I'm trying to monitor when files are
placed in a directory and when they are, send an email then run a
sync to an ftp for dev/client to pick up.
