Need an hook to the Solaris file system

Hello,

You may need to get a little creative here.
-----------------SNIP---------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh

if [ -f /tmp/out.dat ]
then
   mv out.dat out.dat.old
fi

find /var/opt | sort > /tmp/out.dat

#This will report the differences

diff /tmp/out.dat /tmp/out.dat.old

#if you want to compare and contrast dates you will need to do something like this

if [ -f /tmp/ls.out.dat ]
then
   mv /tmp/ls.out.dat  /tmp/ls.out.dat.old
   for file in `cat /tmp/out.dat`
   do
      ls -al ${file} > /tmp/ls.out.dat
   done
fi

for file in `cat /tmp/out.dat`
do
   ls -al ${file} > /tmp/ls.out.dat
done

OOOPS.  Use this working script:


#!/bin/ksh

touch out.dat.old

if [ -f /tmp/out.dat ]
then
   mv out.dat out.dat.old
fi


#######################################
#EDIT the directory of interest here
#######################################
find /etc/patch | sort > /tmp/out.dat

#This will report the differences
echo "#######################################"
echo "These are the files that are different"
echo "#######################################"
diff /tmp/out.dat /tmp/out.dat.old

#
#
#
#if you want to compare and contrast dates you will need to do something like this

if [ ! -f /tmp/ls.out.dat.old ]
then
   touch /tmp/ls.out.dat.old
fi

if [ -f /tmp/ls.out.dat ]
then
   mv /tmp/ls.out.dat  /tmp/ls.out.dat.old
fi

for file in `cat /tmp/out.dat`
do
   if [ ! -d ${file} ]
   then
      false
   else
      ls -al ${file} >> /tmp/ls.out.dat
   fi
done


#This will report the differences
echo "#######################################"
echo "These are the files that are different"
echo "#######################################"
diff /tmp/ls.out.dat /tmp/ls.out.dat.old

have a look at this thread:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21806194/Monitor-file-system-for-new-files.html

famd for example should be available for Solaris, too AFAIK.

HTH,

Blastwave has fam for Solaris:

http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/fam

Haven't used it so can't say how well it works.
