I have a directory with several, or even hundreds of xml files in it. I want to execute a script when a new file is found. the only MAJOR problem is I can't use inotifywait or something like that. Due to limitation of install rights. (I do have the rights, but I'm not allowed due to agreements because it's maintained by our supplier). So I can use scripts, using the basic linux tools, but can't install new tools. One extra note, it has to be written for a quite old OS, opensuse 10.2.
Hope someone can help me point in the right direction.
regards,
