Within Condor itself there's no facility for triggering a submit based
on the appearance of a file but it's not hard to write this
functionality on top of Condor. For example, we have a "dropbox" type
setup for Field Engineers here at Altera where they can put archives in
a special directory and have the Condor grid do things with them. A
cronjob scans the directory, finds new files, and runs a flow on them in
Condor if it finds something new.
