To keep a log all tou need to do is get your script to append a line to a text file, this could be at the begining or end of your script. I do not know about the emailing part.

Check out _FileWriteLog() in the helpfile, you could just add that in your script and have a single line to do what you want.

If your choice is either sending an e-mail or creating a log file, I would go with the log file--the technique has already been addressed by the above posts.

However, if you would rather send an e-mail with the computer name that sent the e-mail, you can use sendmail to send it out. I have a script which sends me e-mail automatically and it works flawlessly.

In my script which uses sendmail.exe, I use the ControlSendPlus() UDF since ControlSend() has a problem sending shift characters to a window and I wanted to send to a hidden window (don't want my users know they are sending me an e-mail.)

If you would like me to post my code just ask. However, given the choice of log file vs. e-mail, I I would go for the log file.
