Managing inotify with php

[severndigital]

I would like to be able to manage inotify with php.

 

I have the inotify pecl extensions installed, and inotify works on the server.

 

But I would like to add a watch to the global instance of inotify, not just the instance that php is creating.

 

I am trying to build a watch manager that allows us to add watches via a web interface.

 

any help would be great.

 

The only way I can think of would be to echo the watch to to the incrontab file. But I would like to be able to manage the watches, so I would need to get some type of access to them after I add them.

 

Thanks,

C
