Watching folder with incron seems to kill my server

QUESTION

Watching folder with incron seems to kill my server

Asked 2020-Jul-11 at 20:25

I would like to run a php script on a folder whenever content in that folder changes (a file is edited, or overwritten, or added or deleted).

The php script gets a hash code for each file in the folder, and writes all the lines in a hash.txt file (appending a line like hashcode:filename for each file, e.g. 2dbb8badb0925833c8ea03ffc941e3a0:file1_blabla.utf8).

After adding my user to /etc/incron.allow, I have edited my icrontab -e in the server, and added the following line:
