The first thing I can think about is either Unicode problems or the CR/LF issue I have come across a couple of times. Try manually adding the CR/LF characters in the script rather than just a new line and see if that helps.

I have been writing my scripts in VBS and that works ok but have found BBWin is very fussy about having the information in the first line in exactly it's correct format.

Another option is try the Mr Big client and see if that works for you.

Hi

I am very new to Hobbit and thus do not know its ins and outs very much. My server is running and is reporting perfectly and I have several windows clients reporting to it 100%

I have a problem with a powershell script that I wrote and I don't know where to start looking. To sum it up, the script just counts the files in some folders and if the count is above the threshold set, output a text file to the bbwin\tmp folder with the status red and then the file count. The file doesn't have an extension and the script does work perfectly and repots the file count correctly. My problem is that the windows client does remove the file as if importing / sending it to hobbit but nothing appears in the web console with regards to status etc.

When I copy the text from the file, manually create a text file (without extension) and paste the exact same text in there it's also removed but then the web console is updated with the status etc. so the text in the file is perfect I assume then. I can only think that powershell creates the file in some weird way that hobbit doesn't like. Where can I check on the client or server what actually happens to the file or what is wrong with it when hobbit "imports" it?

Regards

Johan
