Execute external program

FileMove SE can wait until the external program has sent the exit code or has reached the time limit, or the external program can be started and FileMove SE is running the job meanwhile.

Execute before job
The external program will be started before FileMove SE runs a job.

Execute after job
The external program will be started after FileMove SE has finished a job.

Program path
This is the path to a script, application or any other executable. FileMove does not check if the path is right and if the selected file is an executable.

This button opens a dialog to pick an executable..

Parameters
This field takes the parameter if there are any. This can be switches or whatever parameters the program needs. It is possible to run DOS commands or start files with the related application. If you would like to run another job before then the entries would look like this:  C:\Programme\FileMove\FMPJobber.exe is written into the program path field and the parameter are -v D:\Jobber_Dateien\Alle Logfiles löschen.fmj.
