Here's an article I wrote on the subject:

Sorry about the reply to my own post, but I hit "Enter" before finishing.

The article I mention describes a Linux-based tool called dnotify, which
watches a directory and executes a script when something within it
changes.  I use it to do exactly what you were asking.

I have my users drop a file into an "upload" share on our Samba server.
 Dnotify detects the file and then calls a script which sends it to the
AS/400 and then spawns a job on the AS/400 to process the file.  It
works great and the users really like it.
