(SUSE LINUX)Track which applications are updating a file

Hi Friends, Iam facing with a peculiar problem. OS is Suse Entreprise Linux 9. Some applications are updating a file.. I would like to MONITOR all operations of a file. Is there any tool or command to do the same.. In a Nutshell: I want to track what all applications accessed a file or written into a particular file. Thanks a lot. Regards,

Hi, Thanks a lot mark.. But i can't rebuild the kernel.. It seems inotofy requires rebuilding the kernel. Any other way friends?? Regards,

Inotify is already included in current kernels, no rebuilding needed. The article was written while it was still in development.

Hi Mark, I see that inotify comes built into kernel in SuSE 10 but my problem is in SuSE 9. I checked on the machine but i couldn't find inotify. Any help is highly appreciated. Regards,
I don't know either of these, but the Link says "dnotify replacement", so I would look into dnotify. Duh!

try "tail -f /var/log/etc" it may not show you what you want but it's a start. The tail command is very useful.
