Linux - inotifywait: Removing two or more files/directories at the same time reports only one deletion.

[jiraz2112114]

I am monitoring a directory recursively for deletion event.
As an example, If I am monitoring a directory "test" which has two sub-directories "sub-dir1" and "sub-dir2". Test cases below:

1. rm -rf sub-dir1 reports the deletion event alright.
2. rm -rf sub-dir2 reports the deletion event alright as well.

Problem:

1. rm -rf sub-dir1 sub-dir2 reports deletion of sub-dir1 only, not both.
2. rm -rf sub-dir2 sub-dir1 reports deletion of sub-dir2 only, not both.
