Hi Quinn

Thanks for your reply. I'm a Ruby dev and don't know enough about Obj- 
C to write a daemon with FSEvents (eventhough it would only need to  
watch a dir and it's subdirs and issue a SIGUSR1 to a given PID if a  
file changes). I was hoping launchd could do that task, but apparently  
it doesn't (yet).

PS: I know FSEvents can be accessed through RubyCocoa, but it would  
have been too bloody beautiful to archieve the same without  
compilation :-)

Cheers, -sven
