Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package fam, which is part
of the admin section, and maintained by Chuan-kai Lin
<cklin at debian.org>. 

This package contains : File Alteration Monitor.

FAM monitors files and directories, notifying interested applications
of changes.

This package provides a server that can monitor a given list of files
and notify applications through a socket.  If the kernel supports
dnotify (kernels >= 2.4.x) FAM is notified directly by the kernel.
Otherwise it has to poll the files' status.  FAM can also provide an
RPC service for monitoring remote files (such as on a mounted NFS
filesystem).
