Guest lir Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 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

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.
Guest lir Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Re: How to Get an available space for an specific disk automatically 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 LIR

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
