have you looked at fam?
from man fam:
DESCRIPTION
fam is a server that tracks changes to the filesystem and
relays these changes to interested applications. Applica
tions such as fm(1G) and mailbox(1) present an up-to-date
view of the filesystem. In the absence of fam, these
applications and others like them are forced to poll the
filesystem to detect changes. fam is more efficient.
Applications can request fam to monitor any files or
directories in any filesystem. When fam detects changes
to monitored files, it notifies the appropriate applica
tion. The FAM API provides a programmatic interface to
fam; see fam(3X).
