Is it possible triggering a script with a change of amount of files in a directory?

Question

Is it possible to create some kind of directory watcher and trigger a script when the folder is not empty?

I have a CentOS machine with jenkins CI on it. i would like to create a job that will move all build artifacts to my web server folder each successful build. is it possible?

I want to avoid timed triggered cronjob.

thanks, watch is not what i am looking for... i think inotify will do. — Ori Price, May 10 '14 at 19:41
