This script wakes up every 15 minutes and checks a folder. If there are new items in the folder, the script will display an alert listing those items. If the folder is on a server, the script will automatically mount and unmount the server whenever it checks.
The script is set to watch the “What’s New...?” folder on ES•Software 2, a server on the Apple network. The server and folder to watch, and the check rate, can be easily modified by editing the script.
