monitor util in a scripted daemon?

[Neil Smith]

- Is there a command (native, shell, or ports collection) to sit and watch for new file creation in a directory?
- I'd like to build a system startup script for such a command and its scripted actions. Sound possible?
- Is there already something in the default OS that does something similar?


Thanks,
-Neil
