File Event Listeners (remote and local)
Local file-system changes: Since 1.3
Remote file-system changes: Since 4.2
File Event Listeners allow you to monitor changes on a specific local file system path or remote URL – for example, new files appearing in a folder – and react to such an event with a predefined task.
You can specify an exact file name or use a wildcard/regexp. Alternatively, leave the Filename pattern field empty to include all files and directories. Then set a checking interval in seconds and define a task to process the event.
There is a global minimum check interval that you can change if necessary in the configuration (the clover.event.fileCheckMinInterval property). See List of Configuration Properties.
