UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have box created with filewatch job as the first job follwed by 2 other jobs . For the time period of 8:00 am to 8:00 pm,we can get files anytime , with out any restriction on the number of times we get the file.

So for this I need to make this box work in circular fashion i.e. once the box is trigger and completes to success ,it should start running again looking for the next File .

is there a way to do this autosys self or do we need any scripts??
any solution would be fine..

Try processing each file and move it to a processed directory.

This way, your receiving directory will only contain unprocessed files.

I am very new to autosys..probably missing something here..Can you please elaborate please..how will moving the file help in getting the job triggered again??

As you say, your process is looking for a file, if it does not find it, there is nothing to process.

Your job should always be running.

Whenever it finds a file, it should process it, then move it out of the working directory.

Guess have not phrased the requirement correctly...

Autosys jobs

test_box status RU
job1 (filewatch job)---status RU
job2 (command job)---status AC

File arrives in file watch folder ,job1 is triggered ,which in turn triggers job 2 and completes to success and file is removed the the file watch folder.

test_box status SU
job1 (filewatch job)---status SU
job2 (command job)---status SU

Now if a file comes again the job 1 won't be triggered since it is in SU status not in running status.
How to get the box back in Running status automatically , so that this works anytime a new file comes

can you able to put the autorep command to trigger the box inside your job2 script ?

or in the box job, add time to execute the box job to execute for every 20 or 30 mins and the condition : s(box job)
