marculito Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi, I need some help. Have searched the forum but not found anything. What I would like to do with this script that logs systeminfo, such as running processes is to have it to restart say like once every hour so that I can get the logs sent to me every hour. Will use it as a tool to monitor our computers to detect unusual services such as running trojans and other type of malware. But instead of manually checking each and other computer I will have it send the logs to our fileserver. But I can't seem to find out how to make the script restart itself every hour. Now, some might ask why I want it to send every hour and that it will be a lot of logs and yes, but I have another script on the server that centrally checks these logs for changes, so if there is a new service running in one computer it will notify me Here's the script that I need help with to get restarting every hour._SysInfoLog_v2.07.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well if you are going to write a script to run a script, you might as well just have a function in the main script to execute every hour. See AdLibRegister() <- helpfile. Or use windows task scheduler. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

water Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Why do you want to restart your script. Use AdLibRegister to run a function every hour. This function closes the file and sends it to the file share, then reopens it. I would do it the other way round. Have a list of "allowed" processes in a file on the fileshare. Read this file every hour by the client and check the running processes in a short interval (every minute). If you find a process which isn't allowed send a messge to the admin. This way an invalid process is much faster identified and you can act much faster.

water Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This approach has the advantage that the processing is distributed and that you can act much faster when a new unwanted process shows up. Like all the virus scanners do. Get the virus database from a central server and do the processing on each machine.
