If you don't want to wait a full minute you could use 'incron' to monitor the temp directory and kick the update right away. Seems better than having something in a loop constantly checking.
incron sounds promising. I could use the regular cron to push a signal (ie. touch a file) at the regular interval, whereupon incron launches the existing script, and the webscript can touch the signal file when I need the script run right away. Will incron not run the script again if it's already running? Will it queue the file event until the handler exits?
