How-To: Run a Script with a Scheduled Event Handler

Question

Can I create a scheduled event to call and run a script?

Reasoning

I currently have Titan FTP server and would like to take advantage of the event handler capabilities to automate jobs.

 

Answer

Titan FTP Server includes the ability to create several different event handlers to automate processes. One of the event handlers does include a “Scheduled Standard Event” which you can configure to trigger at a specific time and repeat at a certain interval.

Steps

1. Open Titan FTP Server Administrator and under Events click on “Add”.

      2. Under “Select Events to Handle:” click the check box to enable “Scheduled events” and then click on Next.


      3. Under “Select Conditions” enable “Scheduled time elapsed” and configure the schedule. Click OK and then Next.


      4. Under “Select Actions:” click on the checkbox to enable “Run file/script”.


      5. This will open a new window where you will configure the script and parameters you want to run and click OK.


      6. When back on the Event Handler wizard, click on Next.

      7. Finally, create a name for the scheduled event and click on Finish.
