[1] May I know what are the differences between using monitor or fschange?

[2] Is there a documentation about fschange? If there isn't, how do I make use of it?

One Answer:

[link text][1]Monitor is intended to be the input method for live log files that you continuously write data to. The fschange input method is intended to monitor a change in the filesystem. A basic example for each item:

  • use monitor for a web log file or java app log file
  • use fschange for a system file or configuration file

For more details you can read the documentation here:
