A bit OS-specific here, but a keyword on Linux, at least, is "inotify".

'man 7 inotify' for some general information. 

For those of you not interested in keeping your hands clean of C coding,
there are already a bunch of programs using it. e.g. a quick at search
gives me, among others:

incron - cron-like daemon which handles filesystem events
inotify-tools - command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify

Bindigs are available for perl, python, ruby, and probably other
languages.
