title: Is there an automatic batch job triggering facility in Linux like the JES queue for IBM mainframes?
body: <p>Is there a way to automatically trigger a job (program) on Linux by placing a file or script in a certain place like the JES queue for IBM mainframes?</p>
  
  <p>I've seen daemon systems that poll or setting up cron jobs but I have never seen a system that will run scripts if you place them in a certain place on the file system.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for something that would act like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;cat script.ksh;
  !#/bin/ksh
  echo 'hello'
  
  &gt;cp cript.ksh /job;
  hello
  </code></pre>
