How to generate a digital signal from a dump file update?

Is it possible to generate a digital signal for a PLC after a .dmp file is updated? I'm currently working with a .exe that generates a shared dump file and updates it with gibberish ASCII upon finding an "endpoint." I'd like to generate some type of signal upon the completion and update of the shared dump file, and import that signal into my PLC programming language (currently CLICK software) and use that signal as an input.
The .dmp file is a "shared memory dump" located in a file folder on the PC itself. The executable writes to the dump file when it finds its "endpoint" signaling the process of the executable has completed. The PC and the PLC would be connected via an Ethernet cable.
Is it possible to write a program that has the ability to "see" the dump file has been updated and send a signal to the PLC? For instance, if the PLC program was written in ladder logic and downloaded to the PLC, and there was no Ethernet connection between the PLC and PC, could a .exe be programmed to send a digital signal that the PLC could recognize as an input?

It is not clear where is that file located? On a PLC or on a PC? And what tools do you want to use or already use to update file itself? How PLC and PC are connected? What interface, what protocol?

Ok, I see more now but does PLC support for example Modbus TCP? What language did you use to create .exe file? C# or CC++? For instance you can use something like this (sourceforge.net/projects/easymodbustcp) and send signals to controller. Make EXE master and PLC slave then you will be able to set variable on PLC through Modbus TCP.
