Modules

A module within JobServer is a component which can be used in a running job to perform a specific task or action. Multiple modules can be run in specific steps within each job definition. Thus, a specific job definition can define one or more modules that can be executed in multiple steps based on the trigger that started the job.

A very frequently used combination for the Scheduler trigger might be to use the [Files] Delete module to clean up old log files an application might leave behind by running at a late hour every Sunday night.

Another commonly used combination might take the File Watcher trigger and use it in combination with the [Files] Copy/Move module to copy the files to another location on the machine or on your network.

The Installed Modules section discusses in detail the many useful modules included with JobServer.

The Custom Modules section provides information on creating your own modules. One of the most useful features of the JobServer.NET platform is that C# developers can create their own modules and combine them with all the other pre-installed triggers and modules available.
