iw.local in Windows?

It's been a while since I worked on Solaris but I noticed a post that mentioned iw.local for controlling triggers. I can find a reference to it in the Solaris admin guide but not the Windows guide. I wonder if there is anything that corresponds to this on Windows?

I want to have a trigger that runs whenever a file is created. As far as I can tell I can't use iwat because that event is not logged (I am guessing there is somewhere I can configure this event to be logged but I am not sure). So I would use iwatcreate.ipl but I think that has to be configured as an NT service. Rather than having yet another Interwoven service I would prefer to have a config file where I can set this up on all the TeamSite servers.

Is this possible?

To enable file creation events - I believe you need to put:
log_createfse=yes
within the [iwserver] section of your iw.cfg file, and then do an iwreset.

If you want to use iwatxxx - you need to use some windows resource kit utilities to create services out of them.

If you use iwat - the trigger will be registered in the backing store and will restart when ever the server is rebooted (no config file needed).

Thanks, I will give that a try. But I still want to control my triggers with a script or config file (preferably the same script I use to control all scheduled jobs). For that to work the script would have to first check if the trigger has already been set up (so it doesn't set up a duplicate trigger). The easiest way to do that would be to drop all triggers and recreate them. Is there a command to drop all triggers, or would I have to use iwlsat, parse the output, then iwrmat each one?

I don't believe there is an option to remove all registered trigger events in one swoop - scripting it would be pretty trivial though ... unfortunately, if memory serves me correctly, iwrmat only takes one ID per invokation ( I *think* I filed a feature request on that, but at 28Kbps I'm not able to check).

my @ids = `$iwhome/bin/iwlsat`;
foreach (@ids){
    if (/^ID:\s+(\d+)\s+/){
        print "Removing: $_";
        `$iwhome/bin/iwrmat $1`;
    }
}
