inotifywait name space issue
I follow the "/ home" directory and its subdirectories with the bash script below. but when the directory names are blank, the script does not work correctly.
#!/bin/bash
inotifywait -m -r -e moved_to -e create "/home" | while read path action file
do
echo "$path$file -> $action"
done
Simple 1
/home/new_folder1/new_text.txt
script output
/home/new_folder1 -> CREATE,ISDIR
/home/new_folder1/new_text.txt -> CREATE
Simple 2
/home/new folder1/new text.txt
script output
/home/new folder1 -> CREATE,ISDIR
/home/newCREATE new text.txt -> folder1/
sorry bad english

Specify a custom format that puts both path components in the rightmost field:
inotifywait --format="%e %w%f" | while read -r action fullpath

Note: if the sole purpose ofwhile readwas toechoin the other format (and not to parse further) then--format="%w%f -> %e"will do this, without the loop.
