Howdy,

Just wondering if anything further has been written for the fsmon external script in BBWin to be able to monitor files the same way the Hobbit client does. I've had a requirement come up today that I need to generate an alert if files with a particular string get created.

If/When it fails it starts generating dump files like theres no tomorrow.

I've had a quick look on deadcat and found one called 'filecheck.cmd' that looks like it could do the trick but am yet to even download and look at it

I have written a VBScript to monitor log files for Windows platforms. It has not been thoroughly tested, nor is it used much in my environment, but it should be robust enough. For lack of a better name it creates a report called "msgs2".

If anyone is interested, I could create an archive of the script & usage. Also, since it is VBScript, it should be easy to update the fsmon function with the new features, if the BBWin maintainer is interested.

Let me know if there is interest, it may take me a few days to find time to bundle it up.
