Abstract
A server to which clients subscribe for on-the fly notice of alterations to files and directories in a computer having an operating and file management system. The server also provides status of the execution state of executable code, alteration detection for multiple requests from multiple clients, and tracks files and directories on a user's local station. In addition, the server monitors network-mounted files on remote computers even though events are only generated for local activity on network files.
