Trigger a script when a file is moved in a folder (Linux)

Question

What's the best way to trigger a bash script automatically when a file is moved in a folder ? (I'm working in a Linux environment)

I don't want to use a cron job that checks every minutes my folder.

Try inotify-tools or fileschanged. These programs can be used to monitor and act upon filesystem events.
