I have a scheduled job that runs on an XP machine. From time to time this job fails with an exit code other than "0". I want to write a vbscript that can run behind the job and get the "Last Result". If that result is not correct then I want it to kick of an email to me notifying me that the job failed.
Is this possible to do?
Try this: instead of your scheduled job, schedule a script similar to:
VB Script Document
option explicit
'On Error Resume Next
On Error GoTo 0
Dim strResult: strResult = Wscript.ScriptName & vbNewLine
Dim WshShell, oExec, appExitCode, appExitString
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ShowResult( "%comspec% /C dir *.*")
ShowResult( "%comspec% /C dir*.*")
ShowResult( "YourSchedApp")
Wscript.Echo strResult
Wscript.Quit
Private Sub ShowResult( ByVal AppToRun)
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & AppToRun & vbNewLine
On Error Resume Next
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec( AppToRun)
appExitCode = Err.Number
If appExitCode = 0 Then
Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
appExitCode = oExec.ExitCode
appExitString = ""
Else
appExitString = "Error 0x" & Hex( appExitCode) & vbTab & Err.Description
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
strResult = strResult & "Exit code " & CStr( appExitCode) & vbNewLine & appExitString
Set oExec = Nothing
End Sub
in strResult variable you can collect all info to e-mail...
for /f "tokens=3 delims=: " %A in ('schtasks /query /tn alarm2 /v /fo list^|findstr /c:"Last Result"') do echo %A
Gives you the last result
This is how to access the TS via COM
Set service = CreateObject("Schedule.Service")
call service.Connect("Serenity")
' Get the task folder that contains the tasks.
Dim rootFolder
Set rootFolder = service.GetFolder("\")
Dim taskCollection
Set taskCollection = rootFolder.GetTasks(0)
