	Hi;

	You could use stat with something like this simple script, I suppose:

Paul

------

#!/bin/sh

INTERVAL="10s"
FILE="logfile"
MTIME=$(stat -c "%y" $FILE)
while true; do
        echo "$MTIME"
        sleep $INTERVAL
        NEW_MTIME=$(stat -c "%y" $FILE)
        if [ "$MTIME" = "$NEW_MTIME" ] ; then
                echo "$FILE was not modified in the space of $INTERVAL"
                # restart daemon here
        fi
        MTIME=$NEW_MTIME
done
