02/21/2024, 9:37 PMI tried implementing it with:
// in my application.cfc
this.directoryWatchers = [{
directory: "C:\\FTP\\Upload",
listener: "DirectoryWatcherListener",
interval: 60 // Check every 60 seconds
}];
// DirectoryWatcherListener.cfc
component {
public void function onAdd(required string path) {
// Handle a file being added
application.svc.email.send(mail={to = "me@mydomain.com", subject="new file", body = "new file #arguments.path#"});
}
public void function onModify(required string path) {
// Handle a file being modified
}
}

this.directoryWatchersApplication.cfcm

02/21/2024, 9:41 PMI do a bit of directory-watching, but I use the CommandBox CLi to do some inside of task runners, which works quite well. I can run them as a service.
