ErcanbrackYears and years and years ago, when I used DOS and early Windows versions, there was a tool that you could install that would monitor any and every file written to a computer when an application or package was installed. I find it hard to believe that there isn't something useful like that in the Linux world. Yet, I've been unable to find such a package or program. Does anyone know of a tool that would do this?
chronicc@ercanbrack What you describe does sound to me like inotify: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html
This is a low level API but you can use the inotify toolchain to work with it: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/inotify/
Thank you! I will investigate this! 🙂
