handle a new batch of files

Description

Called by processServer. Any files in subfolders of the specified job's folder are processed.

Usage

handleNewFiles(j)

Arguments

j

the job

Value

TRUE; As a side effect, subjobs for handling various types of known files are queued, like so:

• any .DTA (Lotek) files are moved into a new temporary directory and queued as a subjob of type "LtFiles"; name collisions are avoided

• any folder containing a file named "syslog(.[0-9](.gz)?)?" is enqueued as a new subjob of type "logs"

• any folder containing a file whose name matches ".*tagreg.txt$" is enqueued as a new subjob of type "registerTags"

• any files that don't look like sensorgnome data files, i.e. that don't have names ending in ".gz" or ".txt.gz", and which aren't shortened names with a tilde ("~") character are moved into a new directory and enqueued as a subjob of type "unknownFiles".

• any remaining files are assumed to be SG data files, and a subjob of type "SGfiles" is enqueued to process them.
