Yes, this is very possible. Something like this :
Schedule this in a batch script
IF EXIST path\to\CompleteFile GOTO PROCESS
echo Error Complete doesn't exist
GOTO END
:PROCESS
call path\to\process.bat
:END
Hope that helps maybe, pretty simple batch scripting. IF EXIST is your
friend.

Subject: Wind2k dos
Hi all,
I'm not one for scripting, though i can put simple batch files together.
I have a situation where a Unix host will ftp into my win2k box and place a
load
of Txt files in a directory, when the main set of files are transfered
another file will
be uploaded called complete.
I want to set up a scheduled task to first check for this complete file and
if exists
run a batch file which will process the txt files.
I was thinking about an IF THEN ELSE statement, question is: can i do this
from DOS
under 2000 server?
Thnks
David
