You might check into an event gateway. Ray Camden had an example online for a directory watcher that basically just monitored a directory for new files to do stuff with.
It shouldn't be too hard to find but if he sees this, I'm sure he will share it again. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

For each photo, there is additional processing including resizing, cropping, writing to DB, etc. At the end four new photo files are written. At first I tried doing all of that when the image was uploaded, but that seemed too slow and the user does not need to wait for this processing to happen before continuing. I tried cfthread but for some reason it did not work, plus I'm dealing with CF Standard and the limitations there probably wouldn't help enough. Round three, I created a javascript function to make an ajax call after each photo is uploaded, using the oncomplete attribute of cffileupload. This works. The photo is uploaded quickly, the ajax call happens and users are happy. My problem happens when a file is renamed via the overwrite="makeUnique" setting of cffile. The function called oncomplete includes the FILENAME as part of the js object, but only the original filename and not the new/unique one. I need the unique filename in order to perform the additional processing. Any ideas on how to make this happen better?
