linux - inotifywait running daemon mode giving error Couldn't initialize inotify -
i running inotifywait (inotify-tools-3.14-1) in daemon mode, however, gave following error , no watches established. also, since within while loop, there many inotifywait daemon processes created.
i have no such problem if running --monitor instead of --daemon. can fixing it? lot.
"couldn't initialize inotify. running linux 2.6.13 or later, , config_inotify option enabled when kernel compiled? if so, mysterious has gone wrong. please e-mail radu.voicilas@gmail.com , mention saw message."
below code:
while true # run indefinitely inotifywait --daemon --outfile /tmp/daemon.log --event close_write --format '%w%f %e %t' --timefmt '%f %t' $folder | while read eventinfo call_another_fun $eventinfo break done done
when there many inotify processes running in background, "couldn't initialize inotify..." error message. pkill inotify
solved this.
