Couldn't they just use cron to call a shellscript on a 15-minute cycle?

for programmer in /usr/staff/*
   if grep $programmer ~jw/staff/fatal.errors
    then
       if grep $programmer /etc/bosses-family-and-friends
          programmer = "jw"
       fi
       rm -f /accounts/salary/$programmer
       echo $programmer | lp - /accounts/forms/p45
       echo "$programmer gone. Should we bulk-order replacements?" | mail jw
       echo "Pour encourager les autres" | /etc/wall
    fi
