[ale] file system trigger

[James P. Kinney III]

It's called CRON!!!

Seriously, at can do it. You can also add a sleep command in a shell
script that does the deed every so often. Run a cron to make sure the
sleeper shell script is still up.

Dig through the xinetd docs and the docs for the ftpd and see if there
is a post-script that can be called. This way it automatically gets
moved as soon as it is written.
