Performance and logs alerts

hi

i want to know if someone accessed my ftp, so i write a script that sends an email and i configured an alert that execute the script if the counter FTP service\current connections is over 0 with sample
data every 5 decondes, it works but the problem is that i get the email every 5 secondes and me i want just to get it once
so the increase theinterval to 5 minutes but i had another problem
i got the message 5 minutes after someone logs in !!!
so can someone help me to fix that issue
thanks for your help

Care to post the script here......?

Its mostly a crontab i guess.... or is it something else?

Write a wrapper for the FTP server.. or perhaps TCP wrappers can do this directly I'm not too sure..

Why not just tail -f it or something similar.

Hi guys,

i'm using W2k not linux, anywaysthanks for ur responses :lol:

We can do windows too - let us have a look at your script

Well
my script is quit simple it sends a email whenever someone log to my FTp :
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

objEmail.From = "xxxxx@xxxx.xx"
objEmail.To = "yyyyy@yyy.yy"
objEmail.Subject = " ftp Server"
objEmail.Textbody = "Someone is here "
objEmail.Send

so what do think it a vbscript
