I have a folder, inside of which there are a lot of files. I was looking for a way to check whether any file inside that folder has been opened or not. If it is open, I need to get notified. I know this can be done using inotify-wait but have not been able to do so.



Here is my script



MONITORDIR="/home/aniketshivamtiwari/Downloads/Projects"
inotifywait -m -r -e create --format '%w%f' "$MONITORDIR" | while read NEWFILE
do
 echo "File $NEWFILE has been opened" 
done



shell-script shell inotify

    Why do you use create and not open if what you want is to monitor wheter files inside the directory are opened? Couldn't you use something like this instead: inotifywait -m -q -e open --format '%w%f' $MONITORDIR/*?

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
