not so much a matter of best practices, as it's really more situational in nature...

What's the most reliable option under the circumstances? Is there a stored procedure that would be creating the spool file that drives this setting? Couldn't this SP just go ahead and initiate whatever it is that the "watcher" script is processing? Is there a need to keep it functioning even if there's a DB outage? Could the "watcher" script just do a quick look-up on the DB to capture the state as a ${variable:-default}? Do you mind having to manage the framework required to keep a file watcher in sync with the DB, and vice versa?

It's up to your scenario and most of this is purely academic, because the real best practice here is what works most effectively under your environment.

Hope this helps. Best of luck...!
