Title: Need to create an alert after the 2 conditions are met in the batch file

del %SCSFULDIR%\* /Q >nul   
REM Time stamp DNS log file

time/T >> %DNSLOG%            


REM Stop DNS process
net stop dns

If %TRY%==2 goto RESTART_ERROR   NEED  alert has to be triggered-----☻

copy %BOOT%\*.* %PRDDIR% >nul      
set TRY=2

pause

:STOP_ERROR

echo DNS stop FAILED >> %DNSLOG%      
goto END_UPDATE               

:RESTART_ERROR

echo DNS restart FAILED >> %DNSLOG%   
goto END_UPDATE   

:RESTART_OK

REM Remove new zone files from update directory
If %TRY%==1 del %UPDDIR%\* /Q >nul       rem Update successful ☺

If %TRY%==1 echo DNS restart SUCCESSFUL >> %DNSLOG%   

If %TRY%==1 echo DNS restart SUCCESSFUL > % SCSFULDIR %   
If %TRY%==2 echo DNS restart RECOVERED >> %DNSLOG%

:END_UPDATE

The idea to add the successful. log is to create another batch file to run in unification and check for a file in the path. If the file is missing then we need to trigger an alert so total there are 3 instances of alert.

I need the syntax to create the batch file which will look for the file successful.log and if not exist send the net send command to the list of ppl identified by their login accounts

Code: [Select]

if not exist %SCSFULDIR% net send user "message text"

Replace user and "message text" as appropriate. You can also use the msg command if you prefer.

Not sure why you need the exist test. Does not entering STOP_ERROR or RESTART_ERROR indicate an error?

Good luck. 8)

I tried using netsend but it checks for name resolution and is not able to resolve the user. It only recognizes user logged on to the machine. Though net send with machine name is possible. the exist command is an error indication but it doenst send any alert. this file is being run on a remote server so i dont monitor the machine.

Just want to verify if error level 1 is correct command? and what does the "copy %BOOT%\*.* %PRDDIR% >nul"        do?
