Notes
The File Watcher trigger is one of the most commonly used triggers on JobServer. It allows the JobServer to monitor a specified path on the local machine filesystem, or on a network path for machines that are members of an Active Directory domain. The file watch allows JobServer to launch a job immediately based on file activity. It is perfectly suited for picking up files dropped into a folder and using them as part of a larger job process.
