@twobob: Fair warning about inotify: if you intend to use it to watch something on the userstore and expect it to survive past a short time window (meaning through a usb plug/unplug and/or framework restart), prepare to be disappointed
.
It's what I had to resort to for the screensavers cover mode on the legacy devices, and I had to pile up a crazy amount of ugly hacks to workaround stuff, because of a wide range of different issues, depending on the device.
* Don't watch on top of fsp, it does crazy things (meaning watch base-us, not us).
* Don't expect it to survive an USBMS switch
* Don't expect it to survive a framework restart
* Don't expect it to survive a suspend
