Razique · Post by **Razique** » 20 Jul 2011 8:38

how do we configure a job to watch multiple files on a server , how it can be done with Rule.dat of ctmfw. Can anybody share the sample rule file to do so.

Any help highly appreciated.

Why do you want to do it in one job? You can set up mutiple jobs with one OUT condition on it, so that once one has finished the next job will run.

Also you can watch with file mask but then youre files have to be in the same directory.

Something like

/dir/file1
/dir/file2
/dir/file3

with ctmfw job for /dir/file*

if one of those files will be there the job will pick it up.

it can be achieved by suing the " ctmfw -input rule.dat "

please have look at the bmc documents of ctmfw and clearly mentioned with examples.

Hello,

Here is an example. Define a Filewatcher job with the command to call : ctmfw -input FILE_WAIT_SATDB

and the content of file FILE_WAIT_SATDB :
#************************
#
# ON_FILEWATCH statements
ON_FILEWATCH /data/satdb/staging/AV/*.xpt CREATE
THEN
DO_EXIT 0
END_ON
ON_FILEWATCH /data/satdb/staging/AV/*.XPT CREATE
THEN
DO_EXIT 0
END_ON
ON_FILEWATCH /data/satdb/staging/AV/*.rtf CREATE
THEN
DO_EXIT 0
END_ON
