[LUNI] What to do with an rsynced file? -- Advice Sought

[Richard Reina]

I have files that are periodically transfered over to a local pc.  I would like that these files to be sent to a local serial port. I now do this manually via cat /dev/ttyD0.  I was looking for advice on the best way to automate this.  I though about perhaps creating a perl script that checks the local directory every ten seconds or so, but thought that there may be a better way.  I was wondering if anyone had any experience with something similar that might lead to ideas, do and don't to this sort of situation?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!
