Scirpt needed

[bottletop]

Hi All,

 

I am having a problem of a user removing the network cable from the NED box. Due to the layout the NED box has to be in a class room due to space. I am trying to find a scipt that can be run from the server and then send a pop up message to the teaching staff every 10 minutes or so until the cable has been reinstalled.

 

The reason this is needed is that I am only on site usually every other week and so this would be an ideal solution for them to quickly resolve themselves.

 

Many thanks

A big poster near where it is or somewhere visible with a photo and a few steps of instructions and they should be able to follow it

Hows this...

 

You'll beed a txt file called 'zerobyte.txt' that is empty for comparrison puposes...

 

@echo off
if exist file1.txt del file1.txt
PING 192.168.0.1 | FIND "Reply from" > file1.txt
FC zerobyte.txt file1.txt > nul
if errorlevel=1 goto end
net send TACHERSPC the network cable is unplugged - again!
:end

 

edited from code I found here .... Forums - DOS Ping - PC Advisor

 

Save as .bat file and run as sheduled task every 10 minutes?

You would think that a poster and lables next to the network point would do the trick but this did not work. some people do not read before acting

Have a word with relevant members of staff making explicitly clear about the poster / instructions

You could ammend attached hta along with hostlist.txt

 

hostlist.txt stores and keeps the list of all the hosts / ip addresses you want to monitor

 

the hta you can run or keep minimized and you can change the time it runs to every 10 seconds or how every often you want - code is

 

Dim intRefreshRt:     intRefreshRt = 10000 '10 Second Refresh Rate in Milliseconds

1 second equals 1000 milli seconds. It is already set to 10 seconds so should refresh every so often

 

You can go through the hta code and ammend any coding if you want

 

Its basically a hta ( HTML Application - using wmi - windows management instrumentation ) to ping a list of devices which you can ammend through the hta or via the text file and it will monitor those devices every so often , in this case every 10 seconds

 

have had to rename the hta to a txt file type so just rename the copy of working connectivity monitor to hta file extension and leave hostlists.txt the same unless you want to ammend the hosts in it and ensure they are in the same directory

hostslist.txt

Copy of Working Connectivity Monitor.txt
