Viewing changes in directory

Hi,
I have a directory, and there is a job running and constantly writes and removes files from and to this directory.
I would like to see somehow these changes without pressing `ls` every second. Kind of `tail -f` command, but for a directory list and not for file content.
I thought maybe kind of cron job could be useful, but from what I saw in web, the lowest frequency is minutes and not seconds, and it's too slow.

Thanks for the help

GLOBUS-JOB-CLEAN(1)						  GRAM5 Commands					       GLOBUS-JOB-CLEAN(1)

NAME
globus-job-clean - Cancel and clean up a GRAM batch job SYNOPSIS
globus-job-clean [-r RESOURCE | -resource RESOURCE] [-f | -force] [-q | -quiet] JOBID globus-job-clean [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] DESCRIPTION
The globus-job-clean program cancels the job named by JOBID if it is still running, and then removes any cached files on the GRAM service node related to that job. In order to do the file clean up, it submits a job which removes the cache files. By default this cleanup job is submitted to the default GRAM resource running on the same host as the job. This behavior can be controlled by specifying a resource manager contact string as the parameter to the -r or -resource option. By default, globus-job-clean prompts the user prior to canceling the job. This behavior can be overridden by specifying the -f or -force command-line options. OPTIONS
The full set of options to globus-job-clean are: -help, -usage Display a help message to standard error and exit. -version Display the software version of the globus-job-clean program to standard output. -version Display the software version of the globus-job-clean program including DiRT information to standard output. -resource RESOURCE, -r RESOURCE Submit the clean-up job to the resource named by RESOURCE instead of the default GRAM service on the same host as the job contact. -force, -f Do not prompt to confirm job cancel and clean-up. -quiet, -q Do not print diagnostics for succesful clean-up. Implies -f ENVIRONMENT
If the following variables affect the execution of globus-job-clean. X509_USER_PROXY Path to proxy credential. X509_CERT_DIR Path to trusted certificate directory. University of Chicago 03/18/2010 GLOBUS-JOB-CLEAN(1)
