Jobs can be activated by crontab with rc.startjob <JOBNAME>.

Yes i know but i would like to start it in Baan, for example from a custom menu i want to click an a session that activate the run job of my job.
Thanks

You can try doing it using AFS. I have to warn you however, that using AFS for Tools-sessions is not always 100% waterproof. I have had things that just wouldn't work...

bstecche,

bdittmar gave you the answer. You can use the function - set.list.values.for.field() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_form_and_form_field_operations_set_list_values_for_field) and dynamically build the list of the jobs for a company, and have a button "Activate Job" on the session and use run.prog() [shell() is depreciated] to invoke the rc.startjob shell script and start the job.

Note - Check if the above function is available in your BaaN Versions. If not, search for the existing threads on the forums to find the code to build a down down listbox.
