Yes, that's exactly what I would do if I were you. One big script with all appropriate error logging and error handling so that in the event one piece fails you know what happened, can stop the process, revert back to the previous version of files, continue ignoring the error, etc. Trying to tie three jobs togther and then hoping the timing sequencing always works would not be an optimum solution.

I need your opinion about this matter. I need to schedule automatic download from a remote folder to a local client. This is simple and I only needed to configure the schedule wizard. But I also need: 1) to save a copy of each downloaded file in another remote folder on the same server 2) after that, to delete the original downloaded file(s) from the first remote folder. I could of course create 2 other schedules and make them to be executed, let's say, 5 minutes after the previous. But what happens if a new file is uploaded in the server from someone else, during those five minutes? The second schedule would copy it, and the third would delete it, so I would not see the file in the local client. If I reduce the time between the schedules, what happens if a task is not completed before the next starts? So, maybe I should write a script that performs all these operations sequentially?
