Event SubSystem and custom triggers

catorarn

ENV: win2k/DD56sp1/TS61

We have the following business requirement:

Every time a file in a DCR/ generated SHTML in a specific path is deleted I want to run a script, which updates the navigation script of my web site.

As a solution, the following is in place:

First I set up a script which reads the EVENT out of the environment and if the EVENT was SyncDestroy it deletes the generated SHTML/DCR and updates the navigation script. Then I used iwat.exe to register my script inside the Interwoven eventregistry. When I now run iwlsat I get the following output: 'ID: 107426 "SyncDestroy" C:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe C:\iw-home\local\bin\mcms\triggers\syncDestroy.ipl'
As a result: Every time a file is deleted the DCR and the generated SHTML get out of Sync and my script is triggered (and works perfectly) .

The question:
As I know that DD can work either with triggers or utilizing the Eventserver AND I have to use the Eventserver (due to a German win2k locale), I was wondering if I could run into troubles if I use triggers for my own scripts?

At the moment both, the Eventserver and the triggers are running. But as this is the machine on which I am having the DAS is going down and I have to kill java processes to get DAS and Eventserver running again, I just want to be sure that I can use triggers (for my scripts) and the Eventserver (for DAS) at the same time on one machine.

Does anyone have any experience running DAS and custom iwat triggers at the same time? Will it be possible to run this at the same time without generating issues, such as bringing down DAS only to restart it by killing remaining java processes on the server?
