An event monitoring tool such as inotify can be configured for notifying processes about
file system events (including file creation, deletion, and updates). The Linux system
puts a limit on the number of inotify watches assigned to each user. To increase the
limit, edit etc/sysctl.conf
to add a line:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches =524288
Run the command:
$ sudo sysctl -wfs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
