How to write daemon in UNIX
Hi Guys,
I hope this is the right forum to post this.
I have a directory where files will be dumped at any time of the day and I want to run scripts as soon as new files come into the directory.
How can I write a daemon that detects when new files have been uploaded to the directory?
Can someone please put some sample codes on how to create daemon with brief explanation.
Thanks very much.

uusched(8) System Manager's Manual uusched(8)
NAME
uusched - Schedules work for the file transport program
SYNOPSIS
uusched [-u DebugLevel] [-x DebugLevel]
FLAGS
Passed to the uucico daemon as the -xDebugLevel flag. The DebugLevel variable is a number from 0 to 9, with a default of 5. Higher num-
bers give more detailed debugging information, which is displayed on the screen of the local system. Outputs debugging messages from the
uusched daemon. The DebugLevel variable is a number from 0 to 9, with a default of 5. Higher numbers give more detailed debugging informa-
tion, which is displayed on the screen of the local system.
DESCRIPTION
The uusched daemon schedules work for the uucp file transport program, uucico. It schedules the transfer of files that are queued in the
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directory. The scheduling daemon first randomizes the work and then starts the uucico daemon, which transfers
the files. The uusched daemon is usually started by the uudemon.hour shell procedure, which is run periodically by the cron daemon. The
uusched daemon can also be started from the command line for debugging purposes.
EXAMPLES
To start the uusched daemon from the command line, enter: /usr/lib/uucp/uusched &
FILES
Specifies the command path
