Re: Best options for polling a file

Your idea of the trigger program and data queue still has merit.  Because 
instead of hunting down all programs that write to the file they can just 
add a trigger to update a data queue and be done with it.  Now, if a 
single job would do, you could skip the data queue altogether and just use 
the trigger.  Granted, if the process takes some time to run, using the 
data queue or submitting off a job, will give faster response time to each 
of the programs that update the file, because they wouldn't have to wait 
until the trigger action completes.
