- **triggering** a re-run of the `cli-sync.sh` command according to some condition that's met in your workflow.
- **scheduling** the running of the `cli-sync.sh` command on your own machine using cron on your own machine.

- Learn about [Globus Flows](https://docs.globus.org/api/flows/) to create fully automated workflows which can have transfer, compute and other steps.
- Learn about [Globus Flows](https://docs.globus.org/api/flows/) to create fully automated workflows. Globus have created a number of pre-canned workflow actions (e.g. "make directory", "transfer", "delete", ..) which you can chain together in your own workflow, or combine with your own to create custom workflows. A useful example might be:
- watching a directory for arrival/creation of a certain file
- triggering a compute/analysis step on files in the directory (using a [Globus Compute](https://www.globus.org/compute) endpoint of your own?)
- transferring the output of that analysis to elsewhere, and cleaning up
