As you probably know, there are many programs out there for converting Access info to MySQL. As for
automatic checks for new, you could set a cron job to run a simple PHP script that checks to see if
anything new is in the Access database. If it's new, then the PHP calls the convert program. Don't
forget, on Unix, PHP can be used exactly like a shell language, just like bash or korn.

Yes, you can use Chyfo to convert an Access database into MySQL. It can export Access data to text
files, generates DDL scripts for MySQL (CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX and primary keys).
Chyfo generates command scripts for loading data using the MySQL LOAD DATA INFILE command.
It's easy to use. For example, the command chyfopro.exe /d=mdb /t=% /target=mysql will export all
tables from an Access database. Then you have to run generated scripts to move tables into MySQL.
