check perforce repeatedly after every 1 min .

I have a p4 server where people continuously make commits . I do not have access to that server . I cannot install anything on my linux box nor is the perforce setup accessible to me.

Whenever some one makes a commit in an area we need to do 4 things which are done in a shell script . Currently i do it manually . Can this process be automated with some script ? I was trying to fetch last changelist number & doing stuff but then i realised may be there was some script already present .

The classic example of this type of thing is the email review daemon:

https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/lester-cheung-p4review/files/main/p4review.py

The general approach is to get the set of changes made since you last checked, do whatever you need to do, and then update a counter to indicate the last change you checked. The review daemon uses a counter on the server, but if you don't have permissions to create/update your own counter on the server you could track this locally (in a file etc).
