I have a project at https://github.com/deajan/pmocr which triggers an OCR upon file modifications using inotifywait. I've played a bit with your code to monitor SMB/NFS share changes, so here's the updates I made in order to get things to work with my project. Would you mind if I add parts of your code into my project ? Best regards.

Hi @deajan ! All the code is at your complete disposal. I'm only glad if it helps you. Feel free to use it to add it to your project.

Your script really helped one of my elder bash scripts to work again with non inotify aware mountpoints ;) I'll merge your code into mine, and of course I'll keep the copyright.
