By that I mean a service/demon running in the background, looking at a list of directories & then starting, if needs be, which ever program needs to know. e.g. you media centre prog. has a directory where you store all your mp3, but whilst not listening to music you start futzing around & move it somewhere This would cause the said media centre prog. to start & either update its location or ask you to stop futzing, what ever I would assume there is so limit to how many directories could be monitored without impacting the performance of the whole machine but I suspect it could still be useful On the subject of SFW, has anyone used it in the form of a service.
