Description:
Sample job definition:
insert_job: JOBX job_type: f machine: localhost owner: autosys permission: wx date_conditions: 1 run_calendar: XXX_Mon_thru_Fri exclude_calendar: XXX_holidays start_times: "7:00" run_window: "7:00-15:30" watch_file: /tmp/foo.out watch_file_min_size: 10 watch_interval: 60 alarm_if_fail: 1
The sample file watcher job starts at 7:00 as expected but, it does not stop at 15:30.
Solution:
A file watcher job will not automatically terminate or fail when it reaches the end of a run_window.
The purpose of a run_window is to specify the timeframe during which the job is allowed to start within.
If one wishes a job to terminate after N number of mins, the setting "term_run_time" can be used.
For more details on run_window and term_run_time please review the document, Unicenter AutoSys Job Management Reference Guide.
