Launch OpenDeploy Upon File System Change

Environment:
* No TeamSite, OpenDeploy only
* Windows NT/2K
* OD v5.51 SP1

Need to develop a solution where OpenDeploy automatically and instantaneously deploys content to target receivers based on a file change (new file, edited file, etc.) in the OD server file system.

Essentially, what is needed is a tool or utility that will monitor the file system, and as soon as a change is detected (new file, edited file, etc.) the monitoring tool will automatically launch OpenDeploy to push that new or changed content to production servers.

Any help, links, scripts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

There is a Perl module in the iwperl distribution that appears to work very well in these circumstances - use Win32::ChangeNotify;

If you don't have TeamSite installed with iwperl - and you don't see this module in whatever distribution of Perl you are using, you can surely find the module on CPAN or similar sites.

Thank You Fish,

Yes. We found that Win32::ChangeNotify and a PERL script work to a point. However, it's scalability is in question and further thought is going to go into this solution (C or C++ program, etc.).

Also, a feature request will be submitted to embed this type of functionality into OpenDeploy itself.

Thanks again,

Tim G.
