Go here: http://patriot.net/~carvdawg/perl.html The script you're looking for is FSW.pl...File System Watcher. This script provides the core of the functionality you're asking for. Additions such as Win32::Daemon (from Dave Roth) and Net::Syslog will allow you to create a Win32 service that logs to a remote system via syslog. Of course, other modules will allow you to add/create more robust features, such as TCP-based logging w/ encryption, etc. Use of the Win32::API module will allow you to check for the addition of NTFS alternate data streams, and use of other functions will allow you to get the list of logged on users when a File Event is detected. The use of Perl2Exe will provide a standalone EXE file, as well. If this is something you're interested in, let me know... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
