Add an exit program that does whatever you need. I would insulate it from in-line processing by, say, adding the file name to a data queue and using an entirely separate process to deal with it.
I'd also concur with an earlier post about you wanting to ensure that *all* of a file has been received before beginning processing. A fine old standard would be to send a second file with batch totals - number of records or file size or ?? that can be validated before you process the (broken) data.
