AFAIK such a function doesn't exist.

But you might want to take a look at the VFS (Virtual File System) stuff in samba
in the examples/VFS dir, you can hook into file functions like open/close(/etc/etc).
This is for example used by a project which uses a virus scanner to scan a file upon
access and it's actually designed for things you are describing.

However that's ofcourse a bit more difficult than just writing a shell script and
add a configuration parameter :P.
