I guess we could set up this script to also run in…

modified files
All, I am a little confused as to what TeamSite is considering a modified file. We are running an external task in workflow that is setting metadata and extended attributes on a file.

I think it has to do with the fact that iwgetmount returns y: when it is run from a workflow, and y:\ when it is run from command prompt. It runs perfectly from command prompt (with jobid, taskid and workarea passed in as ARGV 0..2), but…

perplexing issue

inline command for system date
Does anyone have a good idea as to get the server date to write to a DCT via inline command. I am using an inline command, but can it take the system date and make it read-only so the user cannot edit this? Any thoughts would help a lot... Lucas Cochrane lcochrane@dc.com

We have scripts that crash when somebody tries to submit files that are in a directory that is named with spaces. We have thoroughly tested, and have noticed this ONLY happens when files are submitted from directories with spaces in the file names. Has anyone heard of this before?
