===Description===

The following scripts were written and contributed by {{DepotFile|//guest/jeff_bowles/jab.html|Jeff Bowles}} and {{DepotFile|//guest/wes_peters/pcp.html|Wes Peters}}. These scripts are all "submit"-type triggers and were written prior to the introduction of other trigger types, such as form triggers. More recent and varied trigger examples can be found in the [http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4sag/06_scripting.html Perforce System Administrator's Guide].

|{{DepotBrief|//guest/perforce_software/triggers/simple.cmd}}  
|Classroom example of writing a trigger using the Windows/NT command shell, a.k.a. "a ''.cmd'' script". (It checks that "Bug:" is included in the change description.) Doesn't do a lot, but gets the idea across.
