Q: 

What is inotify for OpenVMS?

What is inotify:

inotify is a Linux kernel subsystem that acts to extend filesystems to notice changes to the filesystem, and report those changes to applications.

for OpenVMS?

+1  A: 

The only thing I know of in OpenVMS that looks similar to what inotify does is the SET WATCH command.

See http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/217 or http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/wiz_1843.html for some basic info.
