Options: 1. Install 24x7 remote agent on the "remote system". Build a job of "24x7 script" type that runs let's say every 10 minutes and checks the file on the remote agent's computer using RemoteDir statement. Example: Dim( file_list, string ) Dim( pos, number ) RemoteDir( "agent name here", "*.*", file_list ) Pos( file_list, "you file name here", pos ) // if pos > 0 then start the main job IfThen( pos, RUN_JOB ) Exit RUN_JOB: JobRun( "main job name here" ) 2. Can you use FTP to access your "remote system"? If yes, build a script like the following: Dim( found, boolean ) FTPFileExists( "you file name here", found ) // if found then start the main job IfThen( found, RUN_JOB ) Exit RUN_JOB: JobRun( "main job name here" ) : I want to have a job startup when I have a file present on a remote system. : The semaphore watch seems only to work for the scheduler system. : Is there some way of doing this without it getting messy?
