Keyword monitoring in log file in Windows Server

Question

I want to monitor a log(txt) file in Windows server and want to execute a script (to stop a windows service) on some keyword when it comes up in the log.

Is there any tool or script that can achieve this task? Thanks

Answer 1

PA Server Monitor's Log File Monitor can do exactly that.

Answer 2

You can set a schedule task every 5 mins and do this.

findstr /c:"[Fonts]" c:\windows\win.ini

If errorlevel = 1 goto :eof

sc start servicename

For help (read the Dos 6.22 reference for Find for exit codes [1 found, 2 not found, 3 error]) and type

findstr /?
schtasks /?
