Regarding your first mail Andrew I had the same problems. So I was very interested in replies to your request from the list. Now I managed on Win2000 SP4 to monitor a local dir whithout specifying a user: perl dirmon.pl -install -d C:\Temp2 -l C:\monitor.log net start DirMon service was running, changes to the dir were logged. To monitor a remote dir I had to specify a user and pass: perl dirmon.pl -install -user <accountname> -pass <password> -d \\host\share\dir\ -l C:\monitor.log -t 20 net start DirMon at the first time I got an error message (which I forgot) but after some time the service was running ! and changes to remote dir were logged. hope this helps Michael > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > Perl-Win32-Users mailing list > Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com > To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs > -- +-- Michael Meltzer -------------+-----------------------------------------+ | AED-SICAD Aktiengesellschaft | EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Lilienthal-Str. 7 | Phone : +49-89-45026-108 | | 85579 Neubiberg | Fax : +49-89-45026-113 | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
