Running Scripts

  • Thread-topic: Running Scripts

I have about 15 scripts running; all the scripts check their respective
hotfolder and if it finds a file it processes the file. Files are
dropped in hotfolder about 2 -10 times a day. The scripts check the
hotfolders every 2-5 minutes. Running all script at same time slows the
computer

I know how to check for files in a folder, but how I do call a script to
run from a folder on the desktop.


If file in hotfolder1
	Run script1
End if

If file in hotfolder2
	Run script2
End if

And so on. This way the scripts run only when there is a file in any of
the hotfolders. This hopefully will avoid 15 scripts to run
simultaneously OR any other suggestions.


Thanks

Ruby
