Autosys file watcher
Hi friends,

Instead of creating a script autosys 11.3 has a feature for filewatcher.
Can anyone please share a link where ican create a file watcher job (more like manual).
i need to create a filewatcher job where the job should search for a file for every 5 mins
and send a mail whether the file exists or not.

Autosys file watcher
Autosys uses "jil" to add job (watcher/command/box etc)
It is basically job description. For e.g. your filewatcher job will have
You can set these fields
-----------------------------------------------------
insert_job: JOBNAME
job_type: f
watch_file: FILENAME
watch_interval: time_in_mins
-----------------------------------------------------


Please google for better examples of Autosys Jil for filewatcher jobs
