<div class="moz-cite-prefix">BBWIN and BBNT before that had a
filesystem poller that periodically checked a directory for text
files with the name "TEST." (i.e. filename with no extension) and
would send those as a report for "<clientname>.TEST" and
then delete the file - it wouldn't be hard to add that
functionality to the PS client. When I was working on it initially
I didn't have a test that ran that way so it wasn't on my feature
list, but it is a compatibility/migration issue. There are a
number of Windows tests that just run that way, some of which are
BAT files or VBS scripts. Adding into those tests a status report
send using XymonSend.ps1 would require a bit of work, but so would
rewriting them in Powershell depending on what they do. Even so,
the target folder to write the report would still need to be
updated in the test, as well as setting it up to run as a
scheduled task. It would be preferable to not be still running
BBWIN just to run a scheduled external tests with its own client
test disabled to send the status messages, but that would still
work.<br>

Use bbwin just for these external tests.</span> <br>

Use Get-Content somehow in powershell to get the

send that to xymon using xymonsend</span> <br>
<span

I “think” there is a way to run vbscript code inside

<br>
<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#004080">The
last and ideal option is rewrite them in powershell, I know
there are some similar scripts already out there but they

<br>
<span

1 is the easiest if you don’t have the time to play around
with PowerShell especially if you already have bbwin on all
those servers. You should be able to just disable all the
normal tests for the bbwin client by commenting out
something in the .cfg file and use it only to send these
externals.</span> <br>

<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi
Brandon,</span> <br>
<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
I'm trying to migrate our 300 VMs from bbwin to PS-client.
I love some of the new functionality of the PS client, that
bbwin doesn't have (eg. dirtime, dirsize, restart failed
service). But I have 2 External VBS scripts that I would
like to keep using.</span> <br>
<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
I had a look at converting our 2 VBS scripts that are
currently called from BBwin, to be able to use xymonsend.ps1
(or some other way), to talk directly to our Xymon server.
I couldn't work out how to do it. I'm just a SysAdmin, not
a programmer or developer, so not very good with VB or PS.</span>
<br>
<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
If you have time, and would be easy to do, can you work out
how I can make these 2 scripts operate as Windows Scheduled
tasks and send data directly to our Xymon server.</span> <br>

===========================</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
The "xymonsend.ps1" script contains a PowerShell function
"XymonSend"</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
that lets you communicate with the Xymon server in the same
way that</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
the "bb" utility does on the Unix platforms. To use it, you
must <br>
"source" this into your PowerShell commandline window: At
the "PS"</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
prompt, enter</span> <span

Here's an example of how I use it - pointless script to
test if c:\windows exists and send the result to xymon (but
you get the idea). It will display as the column

We are using the Powershell client on new servers. But we
are missing the option to execute external scripts. Has
anyone an updated version or written a patch so you can
execute external scripts with the Powershell cient?</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
</span> <span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br>
And if not, how do you execute external scripts when using
the Powershell client?</span> <span
