Batch Script Issue

Hi, all,

I am using a command line program called blat to send emails and I have confirmed this portion is working without an issue.

I then wrote another batch script to find a task running in the task manager using the tasklist command. I can write this information out to a file without issue.

My problem is that no matter what I do, the blat script (dos) will not send anything for me. I have even gone as far as writing the error level out to a file to see what the value is when the application being checked is running and not running.

When the application to check is running, the error level being written out is zero. When the application to check is not running, the error level being written out is one.

This is what I have... any ideas as to where I am going wrong?
Also, as a side note, the text file is not even deleted, so looks like the script doesn't even get that far!

Code:

---

@ECHO OFF & SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

::Install blat in the registry each time this program runs otherwise it will not send out the notification email.
\\vdifiles\blat$\blat.exe -install mailserver.mydomain.com [email protected]

::Lets see if the executable is in the Task Manager, Processes tab.
::Write this check out to a file.
TASKLIST /FI "STATUS EQ running" /FI "IMAGENAME EQ nsoftware.AS2Connector.exe" /FI "USERNAME EQ c$yp1504" /FO LIST >> RunningTasks.txt

::Let's check the RunningTasks.txt file to see if nsoftware.AS2Connector.exe is contained within.
FINDSTR "nsoftware.AS2Connector.exe" < RunningTasks.txt
IF %ERRORLEVEL% = 0 CALL blat-found
IF %ERRORLEVEL% = 1 CALL blat-notfound

::Do some cleanup.
DEL RunningTasks.txt /S /F
ENDLOCAL

When the process is found and then written out to the file, it shows like the screen shot attached. Please advise. Thanks.

You'll likely need to write you own, use this script to get started. It's basically done for you. Just set the relevant variables and tweak as needed.

You can try to write your own script or else you can use the script that is given below to see if it works for you or not:

Code:

---

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cd /d "%~dp0"
if not exist blat.exe (
        echo Requires http://sourceforge.net/projects/blat/files/
        goto :eof
)
set log=%0.log
call :logit EZ Monitor v1.0a by Giovanni started on %date% at %time%
set process=calc.exe
set ext1=txt
set ext2=bak
set folder=.
set recipient="[email protected]"
set server=127.0.0.1:25
set sender="<[email protected]>"
set username="user"
set password="password"

:process
tasklist|findstr /i /c:"!process!">nul 2>&1
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 (
        call :logit * !process! running.
)
if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 (
        call :logit * !process! not running.
        start !process!
)

:extension1
dir /a-d !folder!\*.!ext1!>nul 2>&1
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 (
        call :logit * .!ext1! file found.
        blat -to !recipient! -subject "ALERT: .!ext1! file found." -body ".!ext1! file found in !folder! on %date% at %time%" -server !server! -f !sender! -u !username! -pw !password! -log !log! -debug>nul 2>&1
)
if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 (
        call :logit * .!ext1! file not found.
)

:extension2
dir /a-d !folder!\*.!ext2!>nul 2>&1
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 (
        call :logit * .!ext2! file found.
)
if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 (
        call :logit * .!ext2! file not found.
        blat -to !recipient! -subject "ALERT: .!ext2! file not found." -body ".!ext2! file not found in !folder! on %date% at %time%" -server !server! -f !sender! -u !username! -pw !password! -log !log! -debug>nul 2>&1
)
goto :eof

:logit
echo %*&title %*&echo %*>>!log!

I am trying to find the EZ Monitor and I am not able to find it. Do you have any ideas as to where I can download it?
