Dear all:

I have to record the available space for an specific disk everyday, in
order to get information for a future analysis. Nowadays, I logged in
to the server and get that information manually. But I would like to
have something that brings this information to me, like email, or
writting a log, or something else. I don't know if there is any visual
basic funtion that do that.

Your help will be really appreciated.

Best Regards

LIR

A simple batch file will do:
@echo off
for /F "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir c:\ ^| find /i "bytes free"') do set free=%%a
blat.exe -.. -subject "%ComputerName% %free%" -..

Use the Task Scheduler to run this batch file once every day on
your server.

blat.exe is a free command line mailer that you can download from
a number of sites.

Pegasus: That bat file is ready to be run? I have set the path for
blat.exe file:

@echo off
for /F "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir d:\ ^| find /i "bytes free"') do set
free=%%a
d:\public\blat.exe -.. -subject "%ComputerName% %free%" -..

I would like to know where should I set the email address?

Thanks a lot for your help, I hope this will help me.

Best regards

In such cases, as with all commands you're not familiar with, you type
eithter blat /? or simply blat. This will give you LOTS of help! Look
for things like "recipient" and SMTP server! Don't bother installing
anything - just run it.


Blat v1.9.4: WinNT/95 console utility to mail a file via SMTP
by P.Mendes, M.Neal, G.Vollant, T. Charron
http://www.blat.net
syntax:
Blat <filename> -to <recipient> [optional switches (see below)]
Blat -install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try>[<port>[<profile>]]]
[-q]
Blat -profile [-delete | "<default>"] [profile1] [profileN] [-q]
Blat -h [-q]

-install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try n times> [<port> [<profile>]]]
: set's SMTP server, sender, number of tries and port for profile
(<try n times> and <port> may be replaced by '-').

<filename> : file with the message body ('-' for console input, end with
^Z)
-to <recipient> : recipient list (also -t) (comma separated)
-tf <recipient> : recipient list filename
-subject <subj>: subject line (also -s)
-f <sender> : overrides the default sender address (must be known to
server)
-i <addr> : a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP
server.
-cc <recipient>: carbon copy recipient list (also -c) (comma separated)
-cf <file> : cc recipient list filename
-bcc <recipient>: blind carbon copy recipient list (also -bcc) (comma
separated)
-bf <file> : bcc recipient list filename
-organization <organization>: Organization field (also -o and -org)
-body <text> : Message body
-x <X-Header: detail>: Custom 'X-' header. eg: -x "X-INFO: Blat is Great!"
-r : Request return receipt.
-d : Request disposition notification.
-h : displays this help.
-q : supresses *all* output.
-debug : Echoes server communications to screen (disables '-q').
-noh : prevent X-Mailer header from showing homepage of blat
-noh2 : prevent X-Mailer header entirely
-p <profile> : send with SMTP server, user and port defined in <profile>.
-priority <pr> : set message priority 0 for low, 1 for high.
-server <addr> : Specify SMTP server to be used. (optionally, addr:port)
-port <port> : port to be used on the server, defaults to SMTP (25)
-hostname <hst>: select the hostname used to send the message
-mime : MIME Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding.
-enriched : Send an enriched text message (Content-Type=text/enriched)
-html : Send an HTML message (Content-Type=text/html)
-uuencode : Send (binary) file UUEncoded
-base64 : Send (binary) file using base64 (binary Mime)
-try <n times> : how many time blat should try to send. from '1' to
'INFINITE'
-attach <file> : attach binary file to message (may be repeated)
-attacht <file>: attach text file to message (may be repeated)
-ti <n> : Set timeout to 'n' seconds.
-u <username> : Username for AUTH LOGIN (use with -pw)
-pw <password> : Password for AUTH LOGIN (use with -u)
-log <filename>: Log everything but usage to <filname>
-plain : Use AUTH PLAIN to login to SMTP server (use with -u -pw)
-charset <cs> : User defined charset. The default is ISO-8859-1

Note that if the '-i' option is used, <sender> is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.

Optionally, the following options can be used instead of the -f and -i
options:

-mailfrom <addr> The RFC 821 MAIL From: statement
-from <addr> The RFC 822 From: statement
-replyto <addr> The RFC 822 Reply-To: statement
-returnpath <addr> The RFC 822 Return-Path: statement
-sender <addr> The RFC 822 Sender: statement

For backward consistency, the -f and -i options have precedence over these
RFC 822 defined options. If both -f and -i options are omitted then the
RFC 821 MAIL FROM statement will be defaulted to use the
installation-defined
default sender address
