Event messages via email?

[bosseye]

Hi,
Our WinSvr2003/Exchange server is sitting in a comms room with hyper terminal sessions open to environmental monitoring, UPS monitors etc. Each time a message (ie. any characters terminated by a CR/LF), we'd like to automatically email them to our on-call person (who's got direct push email via a Mobile6 smartphone). Is there a simple app for WinSvr2003 that can do this, shareware perhaps? I'm thinking someone must have done this. Appreciate anything. br/Bosseye

You could try AutoIT

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

Install the SciTE package and autoit. The menus inside of SciTE will give you additional tools like a gui builder, etc.

AutoIT is very smart about these sorts of things. You may even be able to find someone that's written a Serial/Telnet I/O module. Just search their forums for words like "telnet" and "serial". I was able to do something very similar with a telnet session using code other people had written.

Overall, it's a very useful tool, and this might be a good opportunity to get familiar with it.
