You can write a start/stop script and put in in /etc/init.d, or you
can convert it to run from cron and put it in the user's crontab
(instead of using an infinite loop and sleeping in the script, remove
the loop & sleep and have cron run the script however often you need
to check for files). Cron would be the preferred way here.
