- 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!

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

- Hope this helps,

- 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

- before.....I have no idea why.,
- 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
