theexistence of the file every 5 seconds. If the file got created just 1 second after the sleep, there is a wait time
of4 seconds before we know whether the file is present or not. We intend to avoid this delay by using
inotify().</font></span><pclass="MsoNormal" style="LINE-HEIGHT:normal;MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span
