Hello-
I am writing an application where I need to recognize when a file
arrives in a given directory. Files may arrive at any time during the
course of the day. Do I set up a cron job to poll the directory every
few minutes? Write a daemon to monitor the directory? Or is there some
other more common/accepted way to perform this task? I'm using Python
2.3 on Linux.
Thanks for your help,
