[H-GEN] Automatic execution of a script/program upon receipt of a file?

[Timothy [HiTCHO] Hitchens]

Have a look at magic scripts in Samba docs this might just do the trick.

Howdy folks,
 
I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that, when a file landed in a
directory (specifically, a writeable SMB share) a script could be executed
using the filename as a parameter of the script. The reason why I ask is,
I'd quite like to do batch conversion of video files into a different format
on a headless box - Click-and-drag a video into the share, and a few hours
later, a transcoded/converted version of the file pops out the other end.
So: 
 
1) is it possible?
 
2) any easy way to implement it?
 
(btw, the box in question is running ubuntu dapper)
