The octoplant server checks the value of the command variable (trigger-URL) every 1 minute. If the variable takes the value 1, the job is added to the job execution queue.

When the job starts, octoplant writes a 1 to the status variable on the controller. Once the job has been successfully completed, the status variable is assigned the value 2. This can be set back to 0 on the controller, for example, to allow a restart. This functionality has to be implemented in the application program of the controller.
