Inotify 可以监视的LINUX文件系统事件包括：

• –IN_ACCESS，文件被访问
• –IN_MODIFY，文件被write
• –IN_ATTRIB，文件属性被修改，如chmod、chown、touch等
• –IN_CLOSE_WRITE，可写文件被close
• –IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE，不可写文件被close
• –IN_OPEN，文件被open
• –IN_MOVED_FROM，文件被移走,如mv
• –IN_MOVED_TO，文件被移来，如mv、cp
• –IN_CREATE，创建新文件
• –IN_DELETE，文件被删除，如rm
• –IN_DELETE_SELF，自删除，即一个可执行文件在执行时删除自己
• –IN_MOVE_SELF，自移动，即一个可执行文件在执行时移动自己
• –IN_UNMOUNT，宿主文件系统被umount
• –IN_CLOSE，文件被关闭，等同于(IN_CLOSE_WRITE | IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE)
• –IN_MOVE，文件被移动，等同于(IN_MOVED_FROM | IN_MOVED_TO)

pyinotify使用过程中有各种各样的问题，如果要文件监控，建议使用watchdog。
