Active Roles Server. Can it simulate a file watcher and fire a job (scheduled or not) when someone places a file into a monitored folder?

I know of the File Watcher capability in Powershell and have used it in the past. My question is does Active Roles Server 7.4 support something similar. I know I could schedule a job to run (very often) and look for new files but what I was looking for is the ability to fire a job if someone drops a file into a certain monitored folder.

Thanks in advance for any help or input on this.

    I see where you are going with this as Active Roles is very event driven.  The problem is that there is no way I can think of to make the Admin Service watch for a file system event because there is no OOB file-system related event that is directly authorized through the Admin Service.  Do you see the dilemma?
