It is working, I tested it from the command line. What time of day do
you want it run?

First, give it a test by launching it manually to make sure
it's not broken.
If that works then set up a scheduled task to run the
.cmd once a day (that's usually enough).
That should be
it.
Thanks! _M

Ok, There is a
logrotate.cmd that you modified for me. I don't know why it isn't
kicking off automatically like it was before, but it isn't. It had
been running automatically for months. How do you recommend doing that so that you get the log files when
you want them? Thanks,
Andy

- Usually the log rotation is handled in a different .cmd.
- I guess it could have been cobbled together but I don't recall doing
it.
- You can get the starter scripts here:

- ftp://ftp.sortmonster.net/Sniffer/Updates/WindowsTools.zip
- A number of user submitted scripts are also available at the bottom of

- Hi,
- The .snf file is up to date, so the program alias is
working.
- I ran the autosnf.cmd file you help me setup and it is working with
no

it was

- I do know that you had set it up for me to rotate the logs...can you
send me
- the section of the autosnf.cmd file that is missing that does
that?
- Thanks, andy
