Hi, Is there a "file watcher process" (FWP) for FreeBSD? If not, I volunteer to make one using kqueue. Does unison only ask the FWP to monitor directories? If so, then I think kqueue's kern.maxfiles limit will not be an issue. On my system kern.maxfiles is ~2 million. When using '-repeat watch', how does unison discover the PID of the FWP? Or, if unison launches the FWP, how does unison learn the FWP's name? Thank you, Chris
