    Hello
    Is there a way I can monitor a file, and if it's changed/updated by other
    program, I can invoke a script ?

    I know I can set up cron job, but I need it to be dynamic --> when the file
    change, invoke a certain script immediately.

    Something similar to xbiff for mail, but this is for a general file.

    Thanks for any help.
    RDB
