Here is another problem we are having. I have a process that runs based on the presence of a text file in a particular directory. The process kicks off a third-party app, called Factset. When the app finishes, the shceduler is supposed to delete the semaphore file. Well, it does not. This process runs on an agent. So, I created a dummy job that just pops up a message box and exits. I set the process to run on the presence of the same file, and then to delete the file after the job runs.

Well, the dummy job does delete the semaphore file, but the real job does not. This is a real problem. Any ideas?

Is this file being used by the Factset application?
Try adding a notification action on finish of script type with the following code
FileDelete "[your semaphore file name here]"
and check if this works. If it doesn't then you are having problem with the file otherwise you are having problem with the job. In the latest case try recreating the job (don't use copy job option) and then deleting the old job.
