Try incron, it uses the kernel's inotify functions but does the work |

for you, and it comes with plenty of examples. |

incron could launch one script you when the file is created. This |
| 17 |
would send the notification and create an at job to send another |
| 18 |
notification after a specified time. Then you could have another |
| 19 |
icrond task triggered by the file being opened for read, that kills |
| 20 |
the at job |
