inotifyd problems

When the watched file becomes invalid, the agent program has to be informed about it and inotifyd should terminate.

  inotify listens to changes to inode, not file name. mv f1 f2 effectively _deletes_ target file if the latter exists. Thus, the watch becomes invalid. This behaviour is intended.

  Correct me if I'm wrong, people.
