I am a clinical (hospital) IS director. My hospital administrator has asked for a copy of the edb*.log without the knowledge of my systems administrator. I was thinking I could run a batch file that would copy the log file to a folder on my pc via task scheduler. The problem I see with this is to keep the log file updated, I would have to run the task very often. Is there anyway that a batch file could run when the priv.edb log (edb****.log) is created (or ended for that matter at 5mb)? This would also need to be done without the systems administrator's knowledge. I'm talking above my head here so please forgive me if this doesn't make sense. I also don't know the appropriate script to use...hence the reason I have a systems administrator. Thanks in advance.
