This is to announce the trial release of a Perl extension module which
interfaces to SGI Irix's "FAM", or File Access Monitor. This service
(consisting of kernel support, and a FAM daemon with local and NFS
modes) allows SGIs to monitor files and directories for various kinds of
activity; SGI::FAM provides a fairly simple Perl wrapper around it. It
is alpha-level.
Also included is magicrcs, an experimental script which uses SGI::FAM to
keep files under RCS control without (much) user intervention.
The package is available for the time being from
<
ftp://ftp.sig.bsh.com/pub/perl/SGI-FAM-1.002.tar.gz>. Please email me
