Procomm wake-up call logs serial capture to dated file

[nortelhead]

Hi,

I need to get rid our old way of capturing wake-up call logs from serial printer. To much waste of paper and hard time manually searching for logs!

Doing so will need me to get a computer (win XP or win 7)using its serial port, loaded with Procomm, that should capture logs 24x7 same way the the old serial printer did. Also, the captured wake-up call logs must be on a filename with date format YYYYMMDD.LOG or .TXT.

Hopefully, anyone can advice me if you guys had developed or used a procomms script that do the above? Much appreciated on any reply.

Thanks!

Any input

that's a real simple file
proc main
loop:
capture on
pause 32600 ;or ever how many seconds you want
captuer off
goto loop
endproc

in your options, data options you can amend the file name with the time and date as well as choose the path.. a share drive means you don't need the pc at the front desk. i set one up with that script for cdr 7 years ago, and it's still running.. that users uses pc anywhere to remote in and stop/start the cap file if they need a quick lookup in cdr.
