script help please 3

[motox2]

Hi all i have a simple request.... I have a script i run daily to capture my history report for each of my 5 seperate switches. The script works the way it should. i want to take it a step further and have it write the captured file to a specific file name to the designated capture folder after the script completes so i dont have to go back all the time and rename the captured files. I hope this is enough info to go by, Thanks so much for helping me out. have a super day!!!

I take a different approach since I'm not a script expert. I put the script commands that do the work in STARTUP of Procomm. Then I run a reboot and Name2Date in a batch file that runs in Windows scheduled tasks. (Procomm is also in Windows start up folder). You can find Name2Date here:

I use NirCmd to execute the reboot, fount at Nirsoft.net or

Thanks GH, but thats a little more than i bargained for. I just need to know how to modify the capture file script so that when capture get shut off by the script it writes the file to the destination folder something other than "pw01, pw02, etc". Thanks again

heres a quick example of what i have allready:

proc main

capture on

transmit "****^M"
transmit "ld 42^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "stat^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "****^M"
waitfor ">"
transmit "ld 137^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "stat^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "****^M"

capture off

endproc

i usually use a share as my download path for capture file.. and there is a command to append the file name with the time and date... i don;t have access to aspect from this box but try the aspect forum... someone there has that command line

before turning capture you can set the filename and path using....

proc main

set capture path "C:\capture"
set capture file "MyCaptureFile.txt"

capture on
