Michal,

I butted in here on the hunch that you or some one else might be able
to advise me about `fam'.  I've never knowingly used `fam' but it
looks like something that could report file changes.

Only trouble is the docu only says it reports file changes to other
apps.  Never mentions how one might use it to get a report in a file.

Can `fam' do such a thing? If so can you steer me to some howto info
that will help me set it up?

I'm interested in logging file changes in a given directory.  It
consisted some 2-3 thousand text files.

I'd hoped to script up something using fam to do the checking.
