I set mine up like this:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.007.htp

It's in a cron job that runs make every 10 minutes. Since make only does
anything to files that have changed, it becomes a fairly lightweight
process--you could probably run it every 5 minutes or so, even.
