• JS1 includes support for a number of scripting languages:
  • Shell Jobs implemented with any scripting language are supported provided that the script interpreter, e.g. Python, Ruby etc., is available from the machine on which the job is executed.
  • API Jobs are supported for a number of scripting languages to which the JobScheduler Job API is exposed:
    • JavaScript (Nashorn)
    • JScript (Microsoft)
    • Perl (PerlScript)
    • PowerShell (Microsoft)
    • VBScript (Microsoft)

    • JavaScript (Node.js)
    • Perl
