linux script that monitors file changes within folders (like autospec does!)
After reading replies to other posts, I found a post (now gone), I created this script :-
#!/bin/bash
sha=0
previous_sha=0
update_sha()
{
sha=`ls -lR . | sha1sum`
}
build () {
## Build/make commands here
echo
echo "--> Monitor: Monitoring filesystem... (Press enter to force a build/update)"
}
changed () {
echo "--> Monitor: Files changed, Building..."
build
previous_sha=$sha
}
compare () {
update_sha
if [[ $sha != $previous_sha ]] ; then changed; fi
}
run () {
while true; do
compare
read -s -t 1 && (
echo "--> Monitor: Forced Update..."
build
)
done
}
echo "--> Monitor: Init..."
echo "--> Monitor: Monitoring filesystem... (Press enter to force a build/update)"
run
How to run a shell script when a file or directory changes?
Use inotify-tools.
The linked Github page has a number of examples; here is one of them.
#!/bin/sh
cwd=$(pwd)
inotifywait -mr \
--timefmt '%d/%m/%y %H:%M' --format '%T %w %f' \
-e close_write /tmp/test |
while read -r date time dir file; do
changed_abs=${dir}${file}
changed_rel=${changed_abs#"$cwd"/}
rsync --progress --relative -vrae 'ssh -p 22' "$changed_rel" \
usernam@example.com:/backup/root/dir && \
echo "At ${time} on ${date}, file $changed_abs was backed up via rsync" >&2
done
How can I detect file accesses in Linux?
One option is to use strace:
strace -o logfile -eopen yourapp
This will log all file-open events, but it will impose a performance penalty that may be significant. It has the advantage of being easy to use however.
Another option is to use LD_PRELOAD. This corresponds to your option #2. The basic idea is to do something like this:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
int open(const char *fn, int flags) {
static int (*real_open)(const char *fn, int flags);
if (!real_open) {
real_open = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "open");
}
fprintf(stderr, "opened file '%s'\n", fn);
return real_open(fn, flags);
}
Then build with:
gcc -fPIC -shared -ldl -o preload-example.so preload-example.c
And run your program with eg:
$ LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/preload-example.so cat /dev/null
opened file '/dev/null'
This has much less overhead.
Note, however, that there are other entry points for opening files - eg, fopen(), openat(), or one of the many legacy compatibility entry points:

You may need to hook all of these for completeness - at the very least, the ones not prefixed with _ should be hooked. In particular, be sure to hook fopen seperately, as the libc-internal call from fopen() to open() is not hooked by a LD_PRELOAD library.
A similar caveat applies to strace - there is the 'openat' syscall as well, and depending on your architecture there may be other legacy syscalls as well. But not as many as with LD_PRELOAD hooks, so if you don't mind the performance hit, it may be an easier option.
how to get value in text field
In javascript the plus (+) sign is used for string concatenation, so
$('#qtyProductID_'+productIDVal[1]).attr('value');
but just like brad said, it can be written as
$('#qtyProductID_'+productIDVal[1]).val();
because jQuery offers a unified method of getting values from form input fields, not just <input>
, but <select>
and <textarea>
as well.
