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, --greg
