I don't know of an erlang interface for it. I did the original
erlang-inotify, but am no longer maintaining it. It would be
interesting to add support for max os x and that other platform.<br>

Once I have backed up *everything* which takes a while<br>
I then want to backup "changed files." Rather than re-scanning<br>
my entire disk I'd like to be informed when a file changes.<br>
<br>
Is there an erlang interface to the "file system events API" in
the mac?<br>
(or something like inotify) or a background daemon that writes the
names of all changed files<br>
to a log.<br>
