ELEMENT:  <job>

The <job> tag can be used to define multiple jobs in a single .wsf file. A job can be uniquely identified by its id attribute. When there are multiple jobs in a .wsf file, only the job that is declared first is executed during script execution. To execute a job that is not declared first in the .wsf file, one must use the //Job:strID option to invoke the script.

Syntax: <job id="JobID"> ... </job>

Attribute: id
The optional id attribute can be used to give a unique identifier to the job.

The following sample code illustrates the use of this tag.

<?XML version="1.0" ?>
<!-- Filename: demo.wsf-->
<package>
  <job>
    <script language="VBScript">
      WScript.Echo "Hello."
    </script>
  </job>

  <job id="SayGoodbye">
    <script language="VBScript">
      WScript.Echo "Good bye."
    </script>
  </job>
</package>


Output:
wscript demo.wsf displays "Hello."

wscript //Job:SayGoodBye demo.wsf displays "Good bye."
