restart process based on file

Hi all.
I do have a script "startApp.sh" (app result is a file /opt/extract/appextract.txt)

I have no problems with stopping app

Code:
var1=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep MyApp | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 $var1

What I want to achieve is:

I start app, app is doing some extraction, after extraction is done i would like to stop app (kill app if/when) wait some time (~ 30 sec. different processes/scripts taking place) and start app again (until next extract)

I will try to be more schematic
- start App
- app is running, doing stuff, and creates a file
- when file is created I have to stopApp
- wait ~30sec
- start app

Could you please guide me how to create some script that will be in "constant loop" or a service and will watch for that file, if exist do somethinh (kill my app)

thank you very much
