 Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 3:20 pm Post subject: Script to Run an Executable and its Parse Output |
 |
|
The following script can be used with Tembria Server Monitor's JScript event monitor.
It shows all of the elements necessary to run a command line program, parse its output and then warn based upon what it finds.
| Code: |
// declare variables
var shell,fso,file,txt;
// create objects that we'll need
shell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.shell" );
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// run the program
shell.Run("cmd /c echo abc > test.txt", 1, true);
// parse the results
file = fso.OpenTextFile("test.txt", 1);
txt = file.ReadAll();
file.close();
// report results
if (txt.indexOf("abc")!=-1)
{
WScript.Echo("Result=Success");
WScript.Echo("LogText=The file contains 'abc'.");
}
else
{
WScript.Echo("Result=Error");
WScript.Echo("LogText=The file does not contain 'abc'.");
}
|
Just replace the command "echo abc" with the full path to the executable to run and change 'abc' to the text you want to look for in the output. Lastly, modify the LogText returned as you see fit.

|

Can you please also provide the details on how to test this script from the machine and if the script should be saved under certain extension to be executed properly?
Can I save the script as a txt file?
How do I execute it from CMD?
If there are quotation marks in the command, what do i do? just use it twice?
Thanks for your help. |

Hi Kevin,

To test the script you can run from the command line:
| Code: | | cscript myscript.ext |
The extension must match the language of the script you are developing, for example ".vbs" for VBScript and ".js" for JScript.

For testing purposes you can, and use the cscript option to specify the language directly, but for use from within Tembria Server Monitor, it needs to have the extension that matches the scripting language.

It is different for each scripting language. In VBScript you use two doublequote characters . JScript you can put a backslash character in front of the quote character as in \"
