DaemonFS Alternatives
DaemonFS is described as 'real time file monitoring software' and is an app in the OS & Utilities category. There are eight alternatives to DaemonFS for Windows, Linux and Mac. The best alternative is WatchDirectory. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try fseventer or Watch 4 Folder. Other great apps like DaemonFS are HDD Profiler (Free), iWatch (Free, Open Source), Tweakeze (Free Personal) and Log Monitor (Free).
