如何创建 C# windows 服务应用程序以在针对单个文件夹检查新文件的多个服务器上运行

Question

I need to run an C# window service app on multiple servers to check a single folder for new files, if files found then process them or move them. Now if ServerA is processing the file, ServerB, ServerC should not process the same file.

I have created the app running on a single server but do not know how to achieve multi machine scenario.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I usually just have a separat folder named something like "Processing". As soon as I identify what file to process, I move the file to the processing folder. That way, multiple treads accessing the primary folder, is not an issue.
