Hi Dmgorp,
In Linux systems, you can use incron, which is a crontab scheduler acting on files and directories modifications . This tool can be used just as a cron job (editing with incrontab -e), and manages the following events :
IN_ACCESS File was accessed (read) (*)
IN_ATTRIB Metadata changed (permissions, timestamps, extended attributes, etc.) (*)
IN_CLOSE_WRITE File opened for writing was closed (*)
IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE File not opened for writing was closed (*)
IN_CREATE File/directory created in watched directory (*)
IN_DELETE File/directory deleted from watched directory (*)
IN_DELETE_SELF Watched file/directory was itself deleted
IN_MODIFY File was modified (*)
IN_MOVE_SELF Watched file/directory was itself moved
IN_MOVED_FROM File moved out of watched directory (*)
IN_MOVED_TO File moved into watched directory (*)
IN_OPEN File was opened (*)
Hope this could help,
Regards,

Assuming that you have a Linux distro, you want to be looking @ the inotify CLI tools (inotifywait and inotifywatch) and create sh scripts around them. There is also a PHP interface for inotify as well if you want to go in that direction.
