Moving on to more constructive efforts ... peter@joule:~$ incrontab -l /home/peter/test IN_MODIFY touch ~/indicator 2>&1
Then according to my thinking, sending a fresh copy of test to Joule using FTP, should trigger "touch ~/indicator". If there is no pre-existing indicator, then an empty file should be created. Doesn't work. A detail which bothers me is the absence of connected terminal for stdout and stderr. Is that the problem? Is it elsewhere? Thanks, ... Peter E. -- Telephone 1 360 639 0202.
