Linux Process Spawn/Creation Trigger

I am attempting to programmatically track the processes a linux user is currently running. Is it possible to be notified when a user has fork-ed or exec-ed a new process, or is the only solution to perpetually poll the process list for new processes.

Thanks,

Ken

There's a process events connector, which is based on a netlink interface.
