I have over 4000 targets, so it should count a LOT. The output I get from running the script is : Started Collect at : 4/29/2009 12:00:04 AM 100 at : 4/29/2009 12:36:28 AM 200 at : 4/29/2009 1:07:22 AM 300 at : 4/29/2009 1:39:09 AM 400 at : 4/29/2009 2:16:24 AM 500 at : 4/29/2009 3:08:52 AM Completed : 4/30/2009 8:33:23 AM So it looks like 100/100 is an integer, 200, 300, 400 and 500 also. But 600/100 is not an integer?? Then it doesn't record the start of the re-check, nor any of the following 100 counts, but does write the complete. ??????? Any ideas on how to get it to count all the way and then do the re-check and count? Or why it might be skipping from 500 count all the way to complete? ( note, the LogFile shows results for each and every 4000+ computer, so I know that the script is going through the counts ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff59 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Basically, all we've been given to work with are two copies of: If IsInt($pcc / 100) Then FileWriteLine($statusfile, " " & $pcc & " at : " & _Now()) with which I see nothing wrong. I'd suspect something is amiss in the first ";script does stuff here" section. Edit: or the second "stuff here" section.

I'd suspect something is amiss in the first ";script does stuff here" section. Edit: or the second "stuff here" section. Then why does it count all the way up to 500, then stop working there? The script outputs other results to a different logfile for all 4000+. The count is in a function, and it is the first thing done when the function runs. The function is what writes the output to the other logfile - and it is recording all 4000+ - why is the first thing in the function just stopping working at 500? The function is always called (as in it can't be skipped by an If-Then statement). The LogFile is at the end of the function and is writing for them all... so, if something was amiss with the ;does stuff then the LogFile would be skipped too, which it is not, Right?? expandcollapse popupDo $strDN = $objAD_Recordset.Fields(0).value $objPC = ObjGet($strDN) $strPCName = ($objPC.cn) $pcc = $pcc + 1 ;$i = 1 ;ProgressSet($i, $pcc & " of " & $RecordCount, "Working on " & $strPCName) Call("InfoCollect", $strPCName, $objPC, $pcc) $objAD_Recordset.MoveNext() Until $objAD_Recordset.EOF() ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Func InfoCollect($strPCName, $objPC, $pcc) Dim $strOS, $strOSsp, $strOSv, $strChange, $strCreate, $sTempFile, $IsAlive ;<snip of a lot of Dim statements> $qTunerService = 0 $qGoverLan = 0 $qTrendService = 0 $sTunerService = "" $sTrendService = "" $sGoverLan = "" $TrendServer = "No Trend" $hundreds = 0 $hundreds = $pcc / 100 If IsInt($hundreds) Then ; Set status on each 100 with time ;FileOpen($statusfile, $ForAppending) $now = _Now() FileWriteLine($statusfile, " " & $pcc & " at : " & $now) ;FileClose($statusfile) EndIf ;MsgBox(0, "PC Name", $strPCName) $fqdn = $objPC.distinguishedName $strOS = $objPC.operatingSystem $strOSsp = $objPC.operatingSystemServicePack :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ;<snip snip> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ; If blabhablhabblah then ; Write the results to the Results file ;ProgressSet($i, $pcc & " of " & $RecordCount & " - Writing the Results to file", "Working on " & $strPCName) FileWriteLine($LogFile, $strPCName & "," & $IsAlive & "," & $strOS & "," & $strOSsp & "," & $strOSv & "," & $strChanged & "," & $strCreated & "," & $strPwdChd & "," & $strSubnet & "," & $TunerPath & "," & $sTunerServicei & "," & $sTunerService & "," & $sTrendService & "," & $TrendServer & "," & $sGoverLan & "," & $strADGROUP & "," & $Groups & "," & $drivespace) Else FileWriteLine($LogFile, $strPCName & "," & $IsAlive & "," & $strOS & "," & $strOSsp & "," & $strOSv & "," & $strChanged & "," & $strCreated & "," & $strPwdChd & "," & $strSubnet & "," & $TunerPath & "," & $sTunerServicei & "," & $sTunerService & "," & $sTrendService & "," & $TrendServer & "," & $sGoverLan & "," & $strADGROUP & "," & $Groups & "," & $drivespace) $recheck = $recheck & "," & $strPCName EndIf :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ;<snip cleaning up variables by setting a lot of them to "Carryover"> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: End Func Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graywalker Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Okay, will give that a try! Modifying code now ... starting the script and in three hours should know if it gets past 500. Nope. Got to 500 and stopped reporting the count and time. Kept on going with the records and results, just stopped counting. I let it get up to 875 computers processed before stopping it... so it had two chances to note 600 and 700 timestamps, it just didn't. Records and results showed up in the $logfile, but nothing happened in the $statusfile. Without knowing your COMPLETE code, it is a guess... Try changing $hundreds = $pcc / 100 to $hundreds = $pcc / 10 or $hundreds = $pcc / 1 to see more. Well, if I wanted to fill up my status file, maybe... I've got 4000+ to go through. Seems it would still stop at 500. But, I've set it to If Not Mod($pcc,50) Then $now = _Now() FileWriteLine($statusfile, " " & $pcc & " at : " & $now) EndIf and testing again....

Its not like it doesn't get there... the section is run... Okay, so the whole code is attached along with the status file. The Results file would be huge and contains company computer data, which I can't send out, of course. Anyone interested will just have to trust me that it lists all the info for all 4155 computers, then goes back and hits another 1005 that didn't respond the first time. So, the script is working - all except the count, which quits at 500. (or between 500 and 550) Any ideas?

What happens with a FileWriteLine() using a filename in stead of a handle is that the File is Opened, Record written and file closed again.

Spiff59 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I also don't have Active Directory available, but at a glance nothing really jumps out at me.

Have you tried commenting out the InfoCollect para and just seen if you can get through the recordset without error? Maybe there is something unexpected in there, a bad object or something unable to return the .cn field? If your DO/Until were changed to this, for a test, it ought to run in a minute or two, and at least see if you're making it through the recordset...

Just right out there in the open, so easy to see it evaded me completely. Thank you! I meant to use a file handle... Couldn't see the Tree for the Forest kinda thing.The FileOpen() and FileClose() were there when I was opening and closing the statusfile each time... commented them out mostly. Changed code to use the file handle. (Doah!) Made the Statusfile behave just like the results file, so it should work. Testing now and will confirm. Again, thank you very much.

I like code snippits. LOL. The $resultsfile has all of the records, so nothing is erroring out... it completes with all info needed. Just the $statusfile stops at 500... then picks back up to "Complete." The only thing I see is that before the $statusfile was opened for the "complete" is that the two other files were closed. FileClose($LogFile) FileClose($ErrorFile) ;ProgressOff() Call("ResultsCleanup") ; Set complete time for full run ;FileOpen($statusfile, $ForAppending) $now = _Now() FileWriteLine($statusfile, "Completed : " & $now) FileClose($statusfile) So, was I running out of some "Open File" counter and closing those two created room to open the $statusfile again? I wasn't using a file handle.... I gather that it was supposed to open-write-close, but was it filling up some kind of fileopen que and I just ran it out of room opening so many times? Also noticed on the Help file for "FileWriteLine" - "Note: Do not mix filehandles and filenames, i.e., don't FileOpen a file and then use a filename in this function. Either use filehandles or filenames in your routines, not both." Which is exactly what I did... I think.... I FileOpened it and then used the filename.... so maybe what was happening was the result of disregarding the note. ; Set start time in status file FileOpen($statusfile, $ForWriting) $now = _Now() FileWriteLine($statusfile, "Started Collect at : " & $now) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ;script does stuff here :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yep...

Developers Jos Posted May 4, 2009 Developers Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) You will run out of filehandles when you do: FileOpen($statusfile, $ForWriting) FileClose($statusfile) Simply because the close fails as that requires a Handle, not the filename. That is why I said I wasn't sure if your posted version of the script should have that issue as you are not using many FileOpen's like you did in this code portion in the InfoCollect() Func: FileOpen($statusfile, $ForAppending) $now = _Now() FileWriteLine($statusfile, " " & $pcc & " at : " & $now) FileClose($statusfile) That would run fast out of filehandles..

Graywalker Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Okay, here is the situation. The above script runs on a Utility Server on a Schedule, so I can't use a progress bar to keep track of where its at like I use when I run a similar script on my workstation. The script runs for like two days. I need to be able to see how far the script has progressed by opening a file and seeing what it has done already and when. I've tried tons of different ways and nothing really works. So far, only $status = FileOpen($statusfile, $ForWriting) and keeping it open till the end kind of works past 500. Which is to say that it doesn't update the file periodically, but keeps it all in a que or something then writes to it after the script finishes, showing all timestamps. Which is useless because I need to be able to tell where the script is by looking at the file and tell if it is around 300 or 3000 so I can guess when it may finish or tell if its hung up, etc. So, is there a way to flush the filehandles taken up so it will re-use? Is there another way to leave a file documentation of the script's progress that can be checked periodically to see where the script is and how its working? Basically, I need to update a file like a progress bar - not something I can check only when its finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you need to worry about the performance site of it as you aren't really writing many lines and the only way to flush the file is to close it.
