Here some help from Paul Drake on NT diagnostics tools you can put in place to send yourself event logs.
Sample code to email event logs
C:\>blat -install mail.mydomain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Failed to open registry key for Blat profile , using default.
SMTP server set to mail.mydomain.com on port 25 with user [EMAIL PROTECTED], retry
1 time(s)
C:\>dumpel -F my_app_log.txt -L Application -c
Dump successfully completed.
C:\>blat C:\my_app_log.txt -to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sending C:\my_app_log.txt to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Login name is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<received email in the recipient email account>
dumpel.exe - NT command to dump the event logs to file - NT Resource Kit.
The book Windows Admin Scripting describes this on pg 279. ISBN 1-57610-881-3
D:\>dumpel /?
DumpEl usage:
-e nn Filters for event id nn (up to 10 may be specified)
-f <filename> Output filename (default stdout)
-l <name> Dumps the specified log (system, application, security)
-b Dumps a backup file (use -l to specify file name)
-m <name> Filters for events logged by name
-r Filters out events logged by name (must use -m too)
-s <servername> Remote to servername
-t Use tab to separate strings (default is space)
-c Use comma to separate fields
-ns Do not output strings
-format <fmt> Specify output format. Default format is
dtTCISucs
where
t - time
d - date
T - event type
C - event category
I - event ID
S - event source
u - user
c - computer
s - strings
blat.exe - NT freeware utility for sending mail with attachments
The book Windows Admin Scripting includes a routine to generate a spreadsheet of Backup Exec jobs using the Windows Scripting Host shell - but I haven't used WSH yet.
hth,
Paul

>My database is up and with no data loss!!!Congratulations! I've done the exercises in Rama Velpuri's book, but when it comes to a live situation, it's a little more scary.
So where's the party?
