[CentOS] Event scheduling

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 schedule (cron) a script that checks for abcd.efg and if it is
there, do something.

Okay, I know about 'cron' and 'at', but how do you schedule jobs
(scripts) based on events.

For instance:  Run script xyz when file abcd.efg arrives via ftp?
