File Deploy Job - Advanced Options
The Advanced Options panel lets you customize a File Deploy Job using pre-commands and post-commands.
Pre- and post-commands allow you to execute commands on a target directory before a job begins or after a job ends. A pre- or post-command can consist of any number of commands that can be executed by the native operating system of a remote host.
After you define pre- and post-commands, they are saved to the file server as script files. When a job runs, it uses the nexec -e command to execute the pre- and post-commands. When you execute a pre-command, the target directory is first created (if it does not already exist) and then the pre-command is executed in the target directory. Post-commands are executed in the target directory.
You can create pre- and post-commands by entering commands in the text box or importing text from a file on any managed server.
If necessary, click Zoom 
to open a dialog box that gives you a larger text box to edit pre- and post-commands. When you finish editing the command, click OK.
