Sure I understand that, but If I wanted it to be within 15 seconds

I was thinking that perhaps there was something that would monitor the
SYSLOG and could trigger jobs (scripts) based on a syslog entry.
You mean...
tail -f messages | grep "line.i.want" | while read line
do
something $line
done
Be careful with log rotation.
Look for the pop-before-smtp package (It's in Debian, I don't recall
where it came from). It's Perl, it monitors the log and copes with log
rotation, and could be adapted to your task.
However, that ftp daemon looks good. This wouldn't be good to run in
virtual machines either.
