PPSS can be run as a daemon, monitoring a file or directory for new items. If (new) input is found, it is processed.
=== IMPORTANT ===
Before you put a file in a directory monitored by PPSS, you must create a directory (mkdir) called "INPUT_LOCK" inside this directory. Once the file transfer is complete, you can remove this directory. This is required to prevent race conditions. It can get messy if PPSS starts processing a file while the file in question is still being copied into the directory.
Thus, in order to use the daemon feature of PPSS, you must insert a mkdir and remove dir command into your own scripts. But it gets nasty.
