File Watcher/Notifier - Design Question

[Former Member]

I am considering a scenario that just scans a directory and notifies via email if any files exist. Pretty simple to do with a few unix commands, but what is the best way with PI?

I figure a file comm channel in test mode and then an SMTP receiver. Problem is, you would get an email for every file that exists....even if you just run it once on a schedule.

Do I need to use BPM and collect files...then send a single email? I was hoping to avoid BPM for such a task.

Thanks,

Keith

Okay how about this?

have a java code for file existence check.

something like

File file=new File;

if(file.exists())

have this code as an adapter module?

errr..looks like i'm complicating things..;)
