Need Help With This One!!
|
I have put together a script that connects the users correct group and private drives at login, If any drives are missing, the script then runs a visual notification on the screen telling them that '******' is not connected. What i would like to do is be able to send this visual notification to a Dir. for storage.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

visual to a dir?
could you explain little what you are trying.
as, what I see from your text, you want to catch that visual message, do a screen print and save that image in somewhere?

oh, and if dir. = director, you can do that with sendmessage()

The visual is basically a popup window. You are totally on the right lines, what i would like to do is gather that info in the popup and then export it in notepad etc. into a remote directory or file.

Re: Need Help With This One!!

so, next question, is this kix window?
meaning, is it messagebox() ?
or some third party util or other scripting language?

mhannan13,
Is this when the user is fully logged in and you run a NET USE and you see a disconnected resource?
BTW, Welcome to the board!

OK..
The construct would be as follows:
NET USE > TEST.TXT
Then do a READLINE on it and if found with any Disconnected Resources display a messagebox.

kent, I wonder...
if he already has the error somewhere (most likely in var) as he is putting it on the screen with messagebox.
he can do the same with writeline or echo:
shell "%comspec% /c echo $errorinwhat $whatwaserror >> $errorlog_somewhere"
the net use can achieve the same, but if there is error, doesn't it take more time to query it again?

it would be useful to see some code instead of speculating in the wilderness?

I think we are in the phase of trying to see what he is trying to achieve.
If he does it as a messagebox, it could prompt a call to a Support Desk to put out any fires.
However, what we have done is use an SMTP mailer like POSTIE or BLAT to e-mail our group and we take care of the issue on the "back side."
Thanks,

mhannan13,
I think we may have something for you -
Looking at the FAQ
We find..
File Operations
Look under:
4. Test for Drive existence with notification
I think this maybe better from an end-user perspective where they do not have to dismiss a dialog box (messagebox).
HTH,
Kent

You might also want ot check out the DisplayText(), Err(), Warning(), and WriteLog() UDFs. All of them can be used for extensive logging purposes..
code:would for example write into an error log on a central server.use x: \\server\share
$rc=Err('Error connecting drive')

Is this detection piece really that big?
If you have company-sensitive information, you can change it for posting.
