Hi,
        Is there a mechanism in Mozilla which could help 
me to monitor files and directories for updates.

Basically I'm using XUL and JavaScript for one half of a CMS 
type of application. The other half of this application is adding 
files and modifying to directories. The contents of these files 
are being displayed by the XUL application.
So I need to monitor the files for modifications of their contents 
and update the data of my XUL application accordingly.

So I know that I could probably do this completely in JavaScript 
but if there was a more efficient and elegant solution I would 
prefer to use it.

Thanks
CPH
