==========
Overview
==========
For general background on the Rattail File Monitor see
:doc:`/base/filemon/index`.
In the context of Windows, we should point out that the Rattail File
Monitor runs as a proper Windows service, which can be started,
stopped, and otherwise interacted with, the same as for any Windows
service.
It uses the Windows API to monitor, which means that it does not
"poll" the folders directly but rather the Windows API will notify the
filemon when new files appear etc.
Under normal circumstances it should run "forever" regardless of
whether anyone is currently logged into the Windows machine.
