the spool directory is where the files are housed temporarily while the jobs are printing. This is ALL jobs though not just one printer at time...

Not sure how the NT spool is working, if they would have files somewere it could help. I should be possible to check the spool length using a perfmon check or using SNMP. dirk. dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu Sep 26 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Check NT spool queues Anyone had any sucess using Servers Alive checking NT spool queue (prints)? I want to be alerted when a printer has more than X jobs in the queue Can the addon CountFiles be used, if so anyone knows how? Let's say you have a mailserver that uses a spool directory. If the mail server is running correctly, it should deliver the mail within 5 minutes to the internet. But since sometimes the mail service runs, and still the mail server isn't running correctly, it's not enough to check the mail server service. It would be nice to be able to check the number of files in the mail server's spooldirectory and have Servers Alive warn you when more the 200 files are in that directory. By using a combination of the external check of Servers and COUNTFILES.EXE it's now possible.
