Parameter files.

Please introduce logic to allow for inline command statements to be ran from within the ini file when it is being passed to the job. This allows for dynamically adding date logic to files and many other valuable things.

Could you post an example? I think I know what you mean, but am not totally sure.

For instance,

OutFileName=MyOutFileName_$(date +%d%m%y).txt

Ideally (in my mind), dsjob could also automatically replace #JobName# as a default for the job based upon its job name.
