PathChangedGlob, PathModifiedGlob #14330
Description
Activity
Any progress on this? The closed button made me first think, that this functionality is already available,
but it's closed only, because THIS is the duplicate to work on 😕I've worked around this by wrapping a systemd unit around an
inotifywaitscript, sinceinotifywaitcan work recursively. You can useinotifywaitto exclude patterns from matching.But it would be nice if PathChangedGlob and PathModifiedGlob existed.

There is
PathExistsGlobandPathChanged, but there is noPathChangedGlob.I thought to use
PathChangedGlobto start a service when/dev/microem*appears. Pseudo devices/dev/microem*are created by a custom kernel driver when special USB devices are connected. When a device is connected, service must be started.PathModifiedGlobwould also be useful.I do not know if it is easy tro set minoring by a glob or not. Just a feature request.
