2.6 Registering a job executed on event
The example in 2.2 Creating a job runs a job immediately and the example in 2.5 Setting a schedule runs a job at a specified time. In addition to them, you can configure a job to run when a specified event occurs.
This example configures a job to monitor a file event and then copy the file when the file is created.
Specifically, when the text file c:\temp\test.txt is created, the job copies it to c:\temp\backup.txt.
