I've been rewriting my file monitor module: it's still polling only, but
now it's a gen_server, supports recursive monitoring, and is documented:
http://svn.process-one.net/contribs/trunk/eunit/doc/file_monitor.html.
The source code is here (it lives in the eunit project at present):
http://svn.process-one.net/contribs/trunk/eunit/src/file_monitor.erl
There is also an accompanying eunit test suite module:
http://svn.process-one.net/contribs/trunk/eunit/src/file_monitor_tests.erl
Any feedback (bugs, usability, performance, documentation) is welcome.
I'll try to get it into OTP if it seems to be useful enough. The
performance is fairly good; I've tried recursive monitoring on my entire
OTP development tree containing something like 18 thousand files.
