Thanks to Mladen and Jonathan for the replies.

Jonathan is right in his assumption, I would like to be able to load files as soon as I spot that they have arrived, whilst this could be done using cron and a script of some form. Whilst I have nothing against doing things at OS level, there seems some logic in allowing the DB to do it if possible.
