Another important question:
Can I be sure, that the files, that are in this folder are always complete?
Or could it happen, that if a file is uploaded slowly I would encounter an incomplete file.
How would your commands react if they receive an incomplete file.
Some web frameworks avoid the above mentioned problem by uploading to a temp directory and moving only to the destination folder when the file is completely uploaded.

Do the files appear strictly in sequence? I'm wondering if, for instance, file3 exists then can we be sure file2 is complete? (but not necessarily file3, if that is the highest number).
Also, under what condition do the numbers reset? (if they ever do)

Will the file be deleted from the folder?
In other words how do you know whether a file was already treated or not?
The answer to this question impacts the correct answer / best solution.
I'd suggest a solution using python and the library watchdog if you can install it.
watchdog can watch a diretory for changes and launch actions.
you could use subprocess.Popen() to call the command you'd like to execute.
