If this is OT feel free to direct me elsewhere. I need to know when a process as finished writing a file and has closed it. My only clue is fuser, which somehow knows what processes have files open. Is there a way for me to set a signal on a file's state that lets me know when it has been closed? Some background-- I have a MRI machine that runs GE's canned software which writes out one new file of image data per second in a known directory. I need to stream this data into another process in near-real-time. Using [id]notify I can watch the directory and know when a new file is created. But I need to know when the file has been closed by the writing process such that there is no more data to be read. Thanks, Andrew
