RoboTask forum

Thank You, Oleg.You're Great.

This morning I go to the trusty box and stare are the screen in dis-belief.  There was a 'norton antivirus notification'. It stated it found a virus.  the name was 'hacktool.rootkit'. ( an old one of the past )  it said the virus was in the robotask sub-dir, in a file called 'idlehook.dll ~~~   ~~~ ...

And this may help the detection. ( maybe ) Is the target machine loafing most of the time?  If so, output the query to a thousand line text file, and call it the master.  Then every five minutes, pull and build a new text file from a query at that moment.  You see where I'm going...  Comparing text ...

okay, (shareware) http://12ghosts.com/ghosts/replace.htm To repeatedly replace the same strings in the same files or folders call 12-Replace via command line options. This makes it easy to create either a shortcut or a batch file to easily replace several text strings at once. Syntax:    12replace P...

Ahh, hmm, not to take the task away from RoboTask, but I have had to do this many times and I used the 'replace' utility with the 12Ghosts collection.  But you want automation, so never mind...

I guess you may then have to have a conditional on the start of the ftp application/service that would test and "only" start at 8am.

What cpu do you have.  I run the AMD part because it was cheaper.  ( Have an Athlon 64 and a Athlon X2 dual core )  All 32 software cpu instruction code will run okay on the 64 bit hardware.  And I run the RoboTask on a windoze 2000 Server, serving up sql dataset queries and web pages.  All runs gre...

Ah, you mean like a "clean flag", "dirty flag" tied to a task.  In windoze 2000 scheduler, if a task got skipped for any reason, then the status for the task sez "could not start".  Then at least you know you've got some back tracking and clean up to do. . . . . . Wish:...
