I am impressed about the speed and accuracy of your answer. You understood perfecly the kind of problem I'm having. Thanks ! The precise problem is that my users are running a VB application that creates .JDL files (They are all different: UserDateAndTime.JDL) in a unique network directory who becomes full of .JDL files. The semaphor trigger function works perfectly to find when a new .JDL appears because it works with wildcard (*.jdl). But the /SCRIPT switch does not allow me to "24X7 /SCRIPT *.jdl" to submit all those scripts. Does installing the Remote Control Module on all my user workstation is the only way for me to submit a JDL directly to a 24X7 server ? And do I need a license for every workstation ? : You can setup a "file-watch" job to monitor some predefined : directory for AAA.JDL and as soon as it is found, run the 24x7 /SCRIPT : command. This does not require any scripting. However, you face some : concurrency problems as user B can override file created by user A before : this file is executed. : For this sort of task you should install 24x7 Remote Controls on user : workstations so they submit their jobs directly to the 24X7 running on a : dedicated machine (24x7 server) : If you decide to stick with a file-based approach you can also make a more : complicated job that monitors *.JDL files using file mask then you will : need to write some script to find these files (you can use, for example, : the Dir statement) and execute them one by one. Still concurrency is a : problem.
