Yeah, but my gut feeling is that the CRC's would change constantly.  For
example, the system clock in the tray would change, the icons would
change if something was installed, even if someone just walked past the
machine and moved the mouse the crc would change.

Hay Brent.

I just saw in his original post this.

"then display all of the images in a table on a web page."

Where his screen shot is captured as a image.  If he made a CRC of the
image for either both the good or the good and bad. Then it may work.

Any way just ramblings of a Mad Man.

He's not talking about a web page, but rather a Windows program.

This may be a silly suggestion.

But if the image color changes dose it not just change the link from a
green background to a red background icon.  If this is the case then a
little bit of vbscript / perl and wget you should be able to download
the page and the parse it for any red icons and then get the name from
the image tag.

Worth a try.

No, there is no visible change to the software other than the icon's
color changeing.

Does the window title of the application change?  If so, you can use a
program like Winbatch to monitor for certain window titles, like any
that contain "My Program Name - Error" and have Winbatch do certain
things that would trigger an SA alert.

My staff is so impressed with the capabilities of SA, I think they've
done a little batty. They have asked me to look into the following
scenario:

We have many servers running a program, which when it recieves an error,
turns a certain portion of the display red (an icon of a folder I
believe). What we do now to speed up inspection of the servers, is use a
bit of software to capture the screen display as an image, then display
all of the images in a table on a web page. The images refresh every 5
minutes. The technician then just checks the webpage for any "red stuff"
and then can go to the correct machine for inspection. Apperently
turning the icon red is all that the software does to notify of an
error.

The question was: does anyone know of software that can inspect an
image, and report on the properties? In this case I'd think that the
percent of red in the image would go up. The concept would be to check
against the % redness, and alert when it goes up.

Any ideas that might steer me in the right direction? I would think a
simple error level check would work (returns the % of a color for
instance)

Thanks!!!
