Is there notification to processes on file change?
If there is, I can't seem to find any good docs on the web. If there's not,
what's the arguement for or against implementing it (or has no one got around to
doing it)? :)

dnotify is better than file notification if you're monitoring a lot of
files in a directory which change rarely. On the other hand it's
quite bad if you're monitoring a few files and other files in the
directory are changing often.
Still, it works.
