Hey,

I'd like to have a daemon process that watches for new files in a 
specific directory and then runs a command on them once they're there. 
It seems like a problem someone would have solved before but I haven't 
been able to dig up anything about it on the web yet (perhaps I'm not 
phrasing it correctly). Just thought I'd bounce a question here before 
I started coding it myself.

Any thoughts?


thanks,
Keith
