Hi Alex,

I need to run an extrenal program with special names, but there is no "translate macro" check box for the command line...

Can you put it there ?

Thank You.

Are you talking about "Execute external program" action? It does not have "translate macro" option because it always translates macro.

I put the folowing line in the Execute external program action,

Code: Select all

cscript //B "C:\Program Files\HostMonitor\scripts\ctrlchaineintuition.vbs" exception \\Jade\Exploitation\intuition\rwserver\iI%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%T*.log

When I replace %yyyy%-%mm%-%dd% by the current date, it works, so I think that translate macro doesn't works...

If you use vbs to perform an action, it must not be difficult to get the correct current date. Handle it inside your script and your done.

%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd% variables are only used to specify the log files (at least as far as I know

)

I know that...
I have a lot of log files to control, so i use only one script with the word to search and the log to look at (T*.log because I have multi logs for one day).

That's stil possible inside your vbs script.

Give the word and the log, inside the script add the date. Or am I missing something......

it's done...
I still belive that hostmonitor can do it for me...

Thank You all...

HostMonitor 4.10 resolves these macros (just checked). What version do you use?

4.10...

HostMonitor 4.10 resolves macros. I do not have script that you use but I created "execute external program" action and copied your command line, added "cmd /c echo" ahead and added ">>c:\test." in the end.
After action execution I checked the log. There is line from the log:

Code: Select all

cscript //B "C:\Program Files\HostMonitor\scripts\ctrlchaineintuition.vbs" exception \\Jade\Exploitation\intuition\rwserver\iI2003-10-06T*.log

As you see HostMonitor works correctly. Probaly something wrong in the script?

I tried this in external program :

Code: Select all

cmd /c echo iI%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd% >> c:\TEMP\test.txt

and the result in c:\TEMP is :

Code: Select all

%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%

doesn't work for me.

and the result in c:\TEMP is :
Code:
%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%

I got the same result, but then again I'm running 3.69

and I don't know at which version this should be implemented......

To Marcus:
Version 3.69 resolves test related macro variables (when execute action) but does not resolve date&time variables. This feature was implemented in versions 4.0

To y.beyet:
I checked code and do not see any reason why this function may work incorrectly. Are you absolutely sure you are using version 4.10?
