I'd like to launch a ksh script on AIX directly after a file is created on our Windows server and then FTPed to our AIX server. What would be the best way to accomplish this? I could write a ksh script that would loop until that file exists, but wouldn't this eat up a lot of resources? Is there a better way?

There are numerous ways to trigger the script from the windows box.
E.g. if you have PuTTY on the windows box, you can configure the commandline interface PLINK to automatically log on to the AIX box and run any command.
I've never used that myself, but reading thru the PuTTY manual it should work. Can even use ssh to connect to the AIX box.
PuTTY is easy to get hold of. Google for "putty download"
