Start a job based on a file being placed in a directory in the IFS

All,
Is there any way to automaticaly start a job based on when a file is placed
in a directory on the IFS?
I have a client that will be uploading a file from an external system (MS
SQL Server) and they would like to have a batch job startup on the i when
the file is uploaded.
I know that I can have a program monitor the directory by reading the
directory and when the file is present, fire off the batch job, but is
there an easier method? If not, how can I determine that the file upload
has completed before I start the batch job?

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
