Hi, I maintain several websites where we rely heavily on file-system files to serve images and movies. We have a user interface in Zope to manage the files, based on the "external file" product. Users can upload files via webdav to the filesystem and I am synchronizing Zope by using inotify (Linux OS kernel tool that triggers on changes on the file system). At the moment I use a http request to the localhost to tell Zope that the filesystem has changed, but when a lot of files are created in a short time the updating is too slow. Is there a faster way to talk to the zope database than via a http request while zope is running? I tried to find something useful on the net, but was buried in too many pages which are not really relevant. With kind regards, Paul
