You might get a better answer, but one option might be to get your MPL to create a semaphore - and then have a cron job run every minute looking for it, and when it sees it, does what it needs to do.

I think there might even be a filewatcher daemon of sorts (never used one myself), that comes to life instantly it sees the semaphore - which might be better if waiting up to 60s is not what you want...
