I'm looking for a way to solve the following scenario:
A shell should automatically trigger / run when a text file is placed or present at a specific location.
My idea - to create a cron / anacron for every minute and inside that i will call a temp script. Temp script will move to my required path and using a for loop i will check for files in that directory and execute my script.
Eg:
Is this correct? and is there any other ways i can achieve this.
share your suggestions.
