Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

I'm working on implementing the Grouper Loader at Brown, and fitting it 
into our daily provisioning. We need the Loader mainly for the change 
log, and do Grouper provisioning using local code. We provision Grouper 
and other systems using programs that run overnight. The starting time 
for overnight provisioning is fixed (1:30 am). However, after that the 
times are variable: each step runs when previous steps it depends on 
have completed. The starting and ending times of the steps can vary 
considerably during the year. For instance, course group updating can 
take much longer than usual during a registration period.

I see that the Grouper Loader schedules jobs which run continuously, 
such as for the change log, and jobs which would normally be run daily, 
and run at a scheduled time. Instead of running the daily jobs at a 
fixed time, I'd like to be able to run them as a step in overnight 
provisioning, after Grouper updating has completed. Is there a way to 
run those daily jobs using a gsh command or some other command, rather 
than having them scheduled with Quartz?
