My requirement is to check if a new file comes into IN folder, with a maximum delay of 15 minute same file with _ACK.xml is present in the OUT Directory or not?

for example a01.xml comes in the folder IN, this will be processed by the application and sent it to OUT folder after processing (maximum time of processing is 15 minute) as a01_ACK.xml.

Content is not important in this case. in windows i can use WMI to to check if new file is created in IN directory (instance created) and then check for the same in OUT folder but in UNIX i can not get such trigger so i had to choose the way of comparing files but i am not much into UNIX so cant think other than this.
