You are starting the process instance once manually (String proc_id = processEngine.getRuntimeService().startProcessInstanceByKey(process_name).getId():smileywink:, hence your one entry.

But in the while loop, there should be one file every minute, yes. Not sure why this isn't working …

Alternatively, you can try to use a cron expression.

Hmm…using a cron seemed to have fixed the problem. Would have liked to know why the other time expression didn't work…but I can live without it. Thanks for your help!
