SUMMARY : With code (LONG) Jass Drivers / Finish scripts

Thanks to the following for the help

Few answers
1. You should probably be using the undo functionality of jass.
   and then re-install jass Main Driver
2. Make a wrapper script that looks at all the finish scripts

While option 1 is properly the correct technical answer ,
Allowing backout and re-installs of Jass Drivers
It is not for the like's of me.

Option 2 , I have written a simple perl wrapper that lives on the server
to check the Finish directory and to create a tmp Driver file
Would have liked to make this run on the client but could not figure this bit
out
As the Driver files seem to be hardcoded in jass-execute so has to run on the
server.

I am sure my perl could be improved on but it works for me.

/jumpstart/jass/jass-execute-finish
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/perl

# Wrapper script to run a Finish script that do not have a Driver Script
# Creates a temp Driver script in Drivers (tmpdriver)
# Wrapper checks for the Finish script
# Prints jass-execute -d temp/driver

# Matthew Garrett
# Based on a idea By Grahame Hay

# Get the finish script name from command line
my $finish = shift ;

# Work if the Finsh script exists
chdir("/jumpstart/jass/Finish");
opendir(DIR, ".");
@listing = readdir(DIR);
foreach $list (@listing) {
        stat($list);
        if ((-f _) && ($list eq $finish)) {
                # If we have got this far , Finish script exists
                # Create a tmp Driver scripts
                open(tmpdriver,">/jumpstart/jass/Drivers/tmpdriver.driver") ||
die "Can't open to write /jumpstart/jass/Drivers/tmpdriver.driver $!";
                print tmpdriver "#!/bin/sh\n";
                print tmpdriver "DIR=\"`/bin/dirname \$0`\"\n";
                print tmpdriver "export DIR\n";
                print tmpdriver ". \${DIR}/driver.init\n";
                print tmpdriver "JASS_FILES=\" \"\n";
                print tmpdriver "JASS_SCRIPTS=\"\n";
                print tmpdriver "$list\n";
                print tmpdriver "\"\n";
                print tmpdriver ". \${DIR}/driver.run\n";
                close(tmpdriver);

                # Now print out what client needs to run

                print "On client run the following command\n";
                print "/net/SERVER_HOST_NAME/jumpstart/jass/jass-execute -d
tmpdriver.driver\n";
        }
}
