EventSentry includes a flexible application scheduler which allows you to run 3rd party executables (.exe) or scripts (e.g. VBScript, Perl, .cmd, etc.) at predefined schedules or intervals. EventSentry can generate alerts based on the ERRORLEVEL returned by those applications. With the application scheduler you can:
A unique feature of the application scheduler is the ability to log the command-line output to the event log, which makes it possible for you to receive output from a batch file directly in your inbox!
You can embed scripts of any kind (command line scripts, visual basic scripts, perl scripts, etc.) inside the EventSentry configuration, so that the scripts themselves do not have to be maintained on to the target machines, making it easier to maintain environments that utilize scripts. Embedded scripts can be used with the Application Scheduler and Process action.
Embedded scripts can be written in any language, for as long as the script interpreter (e.g. Perl) is properly installed on the machine where the script is going to be executed. For example, ActivePerl needs to be installed on the host where the script is to run.
The scripts are created on the target system as soon as the agent detects that they are required by one or more active action or application schedule. You can customize the folder where the scripts are run from, and you can additionally protect the folder with NTFS permissions to ensure that only the EventSentry agent can access the scripts.
