howto monitor and send files?
 
Hi,

Nokia N900 with standard joe-average setup. What is best way to monitor directory for specific files and send file with email if found. Especially what method is power efficient, what tools OS have for this purpose. Please advice. Thanks!

Goal is to make gpsrecorder tracks emailed automatically. Not a big thing, right?

I don't have the details but I think a python script using the kernel's inotify capability would work here. That is where I'd start my research if I were doing this.
