Most often referred to as a 'script' in most operating systems; the method for triggering the said script will differ. Windows based would be a 'Scheduled Task' or a 'Service' if it continually runs, or Unix based systems a 'cron job' if it is a secheduled or time based task, or you could utilise iWatch (for example) to trigger a script when the contents of a file or folder changes.
