Your timing is impeccable!  I am actually just in the process of updating our 
ingest 
new grib data page (https://unidata.github.io/awips2/edex/new-grid/) to have 
instructions
on exactly this.

Since you are already running a script to collect the data (which I'm assuming 
does so
file by file), then simply add this line in after you have downloaded a file:
 /awips2/ldm/dev/notifyAWIPS2-unidata.py [path-to-new-grib-file]

If this doesn't work for you, you could write another script that contains a 
for loop,
and for every file in your directory, call that same command.

Does this make sense?
