How featureful is DNotify? How does it compare to IMon? Can you do the
same things with the two?

The first difference I notice is in the events each will report:
EVENT | IMon | DNotify |
-----------|------------|-------------|
accessed | - | DN_ACCESS |
modified | Changed? | DN_MODIFY |
created | Created | DN_CREATE |
deleted | Deleted | DN_DELETE |
renamed | Moved* | DN_RENAME |
changed | Changed? | DN_ATTRIB |
begin run | Executing | - |
end run | Exited | - |
other | Exists | - |
other | EndExist | - |
It seems that some aspects of /accessed/ may be encompassed in the IMon
Changed event (for instance, it reports if the ctime changes, so it
might do so if the atime changes).
This basically depends on how IMon was patched into the Linux kernel,
something I'm not fully up to speed on.
The Moved/Renamed event would require a little bit of poking around to
see exactly what it should, does, and does not do.
