Sure I understand that, but If I wanted it to be within 15 seconds response, I'd have to check 4times x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours per day. Kind of a waste for a file that may or may not be transmitted each day.
I was thinking that perhaps there was something that would monitor the SYSLOG and could trigger jobs (scripts) based on a syslog entry.
You could use syslog-ng, and some verbose logging on your FTP daemon. Setup a filter to either trigger based on a file transfer, or based on a specific file name. based on that filter, syslog-ng can launch a program, or send data to a pipe that could be picked up by a simple daemon...
The syslog-ng FAQ has some good examples.
