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. Frank M.

For instance: Run script xyz when file abcd.efg arrives via ftp? TIA, Frank M.
