Process Trigger

The Process Trigger allows you to trigger a job whenever external processes start, end, or exceed a specified memory limit.

For example, you may have a server process that occasionally fails. Using a Process Trigger, you can have adTempus monitor this process and run a job (to restart the process, send a notification message, etc.) when it fails.
