Jobs can be configured to start after the following events: file system events: file has been added deleted; file names to be triggered can be configured as regular expressions; calendar events: a given date, weekday, day of month, ultimo; these events can be configured to respect holidays; API events: use of the API method spooler_job.start(); this method can be used by other jobs in any of the languages Java, Javascript, Perl, VBScript; XML commands sent to the Job Scheduler via TCP/IP or UDP datagrams. Jobs can be started, stopped (and otherwise controlled) by simple XML commands, e.g. . events created by the web interface of the Job Scheduler: these events use the above XML commands.
