What is the best practice?

I'm playing the shell game of moving and deleting files to make room for current DB backup. A set of files gets moved to serverB when serverA threshold is exceeded. I created two scripts one for serverA and one for serverB. Both scripts are run by cron entry. There is a difference of 12 minutes between the servers. I'm trying to get that question answer from the senior admin as to why the time difference. ServerA will fire at a predetermine time "sleep xxx" to allow serverB read a file sent from serverA. The file is capacity of filesystem u06. If file exceeds threshold delete files on serverB.

My question is there a better way to run the scripts due to time difference? My thought is to invoke serverB script from serverA script. How can I fire off serverB script from serverA script?
