 Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 12:02 pm Post subject: Event Triggers |
 |
|
Hi all,
I am not sure if this can actually be done or it should be considered a
suggestion, but here it goes:
Is it possible to make Windows (XP and 2003, for example) execute a script
when a certain event occurs or is added to the Event logs?
At present I keep a record of printing jobs submitted to one of my servers
by scanning the Event logs once a day, extracting the print ones, and putting
them into a MySQL database. I would like to know if it is possible to have
the database-adding script being triggered by the Event instead of doing it
through a scheduled job.
Thanks for your help.

Sure, and you subject line IMPLIES that you may actually know the name of
the
tool <grin> and you even give a hint that you know it only works on 2003+
and XP+ (not on 2000).
EventTriggers.exe
....does this and was new in XP.

You can set EventTriggers to run a specific batch file by monitoring any
Event
Log, for any EventID, by Type*, and by Source.
* Type == "ERROR", "INFORMATION", "WARNING",
"SUCCESSAUDIT" and "FAILUREAUDIT".
Just make sure you don't set it to run for some really common event (unless
you have thought that through.)

As I wrote, built into 2003+ (or higher) and XP+ (or higher).
