Your "Build Manager" sounds more like a micromanager. I hope there is a
good reason for the process you have been told to follow.

You probably only need to add new 'watch' statements as new files are
added to the system. So, something that is wired into the 'loginfo' to
look for new files and have them watched might be the way to go.

I don't understand why a cron script would be needed...
