Ping and e-mail when faulty

[CHOVIE]

Good Day All,

I have gone through the forums on how to setup a multiple pinging devices and if one of the ip`s fails a mail needs to be sent out ........ I have gone through these samples to see what was going on. I can`t even just get one of them to run to see how it looks like .......

1.

2.

Please remember that I am still a newb at all of this and on programming itself so please try and put it in "layman`s terms"......... I have tried to update two of the above posts but to no sucess ....... Please I some can just explain to me where I need to do the changes to make it work, It will be mostly appreciated .......

Until $RunForever = 100

I get the following error .......

(63) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:
For $i = 1 To $OfflineCheck[0][0]
For $i = 1 To $OfflineCheck^ ERROR
->14:04:14 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1
>Exit code: 1 Time: 2.145

Please if someone can just show me how to fix it ........

If your INI file lists no servers as being offline, then no array will be created and you will get that error message. Try wrapping the For...Next statement in an If statment checking to see if it is an array using IsArray. Something like:

If IsArray($OfflineCheck) Then
          <code here>
EndIf

However, I would suggest writing your own code so the program will do exactly what you want. Writing whether something is online or offline to an INI file is inefficient. I would suggest reading your server list to an array and storing whether it is online or offline in a second dimension.
