Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Log file locking???

ï As mentioned earlier it does sound weird to shell out to run sleep.  That's mostly because there is no "sleep" function VBScript.  However, since you are using WScript you can take advantage of the function WScript.Sleep instead of shelling out.  In the example I posted earlier I was not using Wscript so I could not take advantage of it.   Darrell   ------------------------------------------- Check out http://www.invariantsystems.com for utilities for Declude And Imail.  IMail/Declude Overflow Queue Monitoring, MRTG Integration, and Log Parsers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 7:38 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Log file locking??? Thanks to both of you for the guidance. Kevin, sleep.exe is from the Resource Kit. I've coded up a script fragment that should handle this, but I would appreciate some feedback on if this is the correct way to go.  Obvious declarations omitted: ' Disable error handling On Error Resume Next ' Move the specified file, retry after 5 seconds if error is found, limit to 100 tries. intRetry = 100 Do While intRetry > 0     objFS.MoveFile strSource, strDestination     If Err <> 0 Then         objShell.Run "cmd /c sleep.exe 5", 0 , true         Err.Clear         intRetry = intRetry - 1     Else         intRetry = -1     End If Loop ' Quit the script if it has retried the MoveFile operation 100 times If intRetry = 0 Then     WScript.Quit(0) End If ' Re-enable error handling On Error GoTo 0 Thanks, Matt Kevin Bilbee wrote: Where did you get the sleep.exe???

Matt, It's possible its a locking issue. What specifically is the error message it is returning? I ran into similar issue with a log rotating script I wrote to move logs around into WebTrends. I was trying to rotate a log file still being downloaded and it would cause an issue. When I would encounter the error I would "sleep" 30 seconds and try it again. on error resume next If ( Err <> 0 ) Then oShell.run "cmd /c sleep.exe 30", 0 , true Err.Clear End If Darrell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out http://www.invariantsystems.com for utilities for Declude And Imail.

Matt writes: I'm wondering if someone familiar with the logging of IMail, Declude and Sniffer and scripting could enlighten me on an issue that I am having. I have a script that is run every hour on my server that takes the 4 logs generated by these processes, moves them to a temp folder on the same drive, and then appends the data to a log file for each day that is archived on another drive. The problem that I am having is that the script (written in VBScript) is failing part way into the process about once every day or two, or about 1 out of 40 times. It seems to always fail after creating the temp directory, or after moving the IMail log into the temp directory, which happens to be the first two steps (the third is to move the Declude JunkMail log). The only thing that I can think of is that the script is unable to move these files because they are being locked by the system as they are being updated. Both the IMail and JunkMail logs are seeing between 3MB and 15MB of data per hour depending on the time of day and the log. So if someone could confirm whether or not this could be some form of a locking issue that prevents a VBScript move (object.MoveFile), that would be appreciated. Also, if this is a locking issue, what would be the recommended work around for handling this? I'm not familiar with a method of retrying the move until successful within VBScript, though maybe there is a way to detect the error condition and loop until none is found, or a maximum number of tries has occurred.
