Schedule
Jan 2^nd, 2006 at 9:29am

Hi !

We're running WatchDirectory as a windows service that monitors a network drive.
Because of backups the network drive is not always availiable all the time. We have sheduled the Task not to be run between 21 - 00 PM, but it seems like the service tries to monitor the drive anyway. We are getting the following Error messages:

DMD - Can not monitor directory \\serwb08\everyone\ftp\LagerDb: Error Code: 53
Description: The network path was not found.

This message continues te be recieved between 21 - 00 PM...
After a while the service stops to run (BIG problem)

The config file looks like this:
[watchDirectorySchedule]
method=2
methodDelayNum=1
methodDelayWhat=2
methodWeekdaySun=1
methodWeekdayMon=1
methodWeekdayTue=1
methodWeekdayWed=1
methodWeekdayThu=1
methodWeekdayFri=1
methodWeekdaySat=1
methodWeekdayPart=1
methodWeekdayStartHour=0
methodWeekdayEndHour=21
methodWeekdayIgnoreOutside=0
mergeTasks=0
mergeUpdatesTimestamp=0
[watchDirectoryMasks]

Hi,

There is probably some misunderstanding what the scheduler does. The scheduler only affects if or when the task (copy, email, upload etcetera) is run. The monitoring part of watchDirectory will always remain active, looking for changes on your drive.

The best solution in your case would be to stop the task at 21:00 pm, and start it again at midnight.

To stop the task named "AUTOCOPY", use the following command:

wdRun -stop AUTOCOPY

to start it again:

wdRun -start AUTOCOPY

You can use the Windows Scheduler (see picture) to schedule these commands every day.
