Hi!

I have a launchD plist that detect when a file arrives to a specfied folder, or when a file of that specified folder is modified, when this happend, launchD call to an applescript.

I am thinking that would be marvelous view a notification with Growl, to see what file or folder had been modified or created inside specified folder.

How can i send these Growl notificacions?, can someone help me with this applescript?

Thanks!

Im reading it, maybe my big problem is get those specified files that are modified, i can know that files are been modified with launchd but how i can return the names of this modified files…

For example, i had create a launchd and automator workflow that detect when files are modified inside a folder, and then launch automator workflow that search files modified today in this folder with finder and up to ftp site.

The step “search files modified today in this folder” give me the files recently modified but all modified today too, with this step i can not do growl notification, i need a method to return a list filenames of those files modified detected by launchd.

Whit this, other posts help and growl help i could do it

Thanks
