Re^3: How to instantaneously automatically save

The easiest way is to rename the zfs and zpool commands to something else (zfs.org?) and name your new programs zfs and zpool.

Alternatively, set up shell aliases for the users using these commands.

Alternatively, learn about what APIs ZFS offers to know about what zfs and zpool do or change, and listen to these API calls.

So far there is no public API (Python libzfs bindings is at the mercy of private API). See if a "channel" program (Understanding ZFS Channel Programs by Dru L) would offer anything. Have not used either myself. History of commands -- what OP seems to be wanting -- is available by zpool-history(8) command. There is also zpool-events(8).	[reply]

Thank you so much, parv. Sorry for repeating myself too much, but I want you guys to understand what I'm trying to accomplish: What I want is for my perl program to listen immediately for whenever as soon as any change is made on the ZFS filesystem (if a dataset was created, if a clone was made, well any sort of change on the filesystem) save it instantaneously in database.

Thank you very much, Corion. What I want is for my perl program to listen for whenever as soon as any change is made on the ZFS filesystem (if a dataset was created, if a clone was made, well any sort of change on the filesystem) save it immediately in database. So I will go by what you said in your last sentence, thanks again.	[reply]
