I have incron installed on my centos 7 machine.
for my initial testing, I have a simple entry in the table. When a file is moved to the target folder, it would run a script. What I did first was to execute
/dir IN_MOVED_TO logger success
This does not work though, when I put a file in the target folder I see a message in the /var/logs/messages that says
Aug 14 23:29:27 Clone-Dev-AnalyticsAutomation gnome-session: gnome-session-binary: WARNING: Unable to inhibit system: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Permission denied
Aug 14 23:29:32 Clone-Dev-AnalyticsAutomation journal: unable to create file '/run/user/1018/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.
I thought incrond was started without the sudo command so I restarted it with the sudo command but I still get the same results.
I ran **service incrond status -l**

I'm not really sure what's happening. I feel like incrond is trying to execute commands but does not have the necessary privileges.
