I am not a SysAdmin - I'm running everything client-side.
I need to move files from a public folder to a more restricted folder. I have permissions to both. I can create a VBScript that will move the files with no problem.
My issue is scheduling this. I'd like this to run often - very often. If there was a way to constantly monitor the public folder and as soon as the file count increased to jump on it and move it, I'd do it that way. But I have no idea how much overhead a script running constanly in the background like that would eat up on my computer.
Otherwise I *think* I have permissions to set the Task Scheduler to run a script periodically. But again, if this script pops up every 20 minutes or so and moves files across servers (nothing gets transferred onto or off my computer), how much of my computing overhead is this going to take? Is it likely to paralyze my machine until all operations are completed?
