Default Script Directory

Does anyone know where MSched looks for the default data (Script) Directory? A newby techie did some maintenance on the server that holds MSched and the script files. The maintenance was successful in wiping out many settings and messing up group policies. Most of this we have repaired, but we ended...

FTPGetFile adds text

I have something new happening to an old script... and please forgive the old rhubarb... but this just started happening when I upgraded to the latest version of 9.0 last week. This line results in a 550 Error 00.110.70.187,myname,Password,21,U:\EData\SIL_FTP\DBAF\VMI\NEW_IN\sauder.txt,\DBAF\sauder....

Thanks, I know and use the FTPRESULT. What I need is the log... the series of commands and results that Msched sends and receives as it goes through logon and file download. The FTP command sent returns a value or string from the remote site after each FTP command. For instance FTPGetFile has to sen...

FTP Command Log

Is there a way to log FTP session commands to a file? Not the script log, but the actual exchanges between the two servers showing commands sent and the resulting reply.

I can see the commands zipping past in the Msched FTP status window... it is those I wish to log.

What about a progress bar as well? Here is something that I use versions of to give users a graphic and a progress window, just add loops to update the message and bar as required.

I have been using Sched for about five years now. From early on, I was plagued with the disconnected TS session issue. So far as I know, there is no way that Msched can send keystrokes to a screen that is not there. If the console is not connected to the session, the script will stall. The work arou...

Log File

I am using MS Pro 8.0.1 The help utility, within "Command Line Options" states: "It is not necessary to specify a log file if running a macro using only the macro name for a macro that already has logging enabled. In this case the log file settings for that macro will be used. " However, I have been...

Thanks to all who responded... lots of ideas and guidance. It is feedback like this that shows the value of these forums, something I wish other mission-critical software would have. The lack of endifs is a rookie mistake on my part... oops! My trial values did not test all the loops. Also, I made a...

Nested If> Loops

I have looked through previous posts and they do not satisfy my question. The following seems to work just fine, but is it "legal"? I can't find a reference to nesting IF statgements in this manner and want to be cautious... Remark>Pare MIT line down to fit 9 chars If>MITCNTLG=4 Let>Let>MITLN=00090%...

SMTPSendMail Timeout

I have found instances when SMTPSendMail suspends a script waiting for port 25 of a mail server. It will wait forever if the server is kaput. Is there a built-in setting, switch or option to set a timeout for SMTPSendMail? I have a work-around using PortQry from Microsoft but need to ask the questio...
