LogSort Notes
LogSort is only needed if the test stations are using their local log.txt data bases to store their data.
LogSort should not be run if the test stations are directly storing their data on the server log.txt file.
If LogSort is run, it should be from the server computer.
Selecting LogSort as a report will backup and combine the test station log.txt files. It will:
a. Rotate the backup logbak1.txt file to logbak2.txt.
b. Rotate the log.txt file to logbak1.txt.
c. Append (and sort if needed) the test station Log.txt files to the server Log.txt file.
d. Append each users Log.txt file to its own LogHist.txt file.
e. Delete each users Log.txt file.
Errors will be ignored. To see errors, run the Logsort.exe program directly from Explorer.
The LogSort.exe program will combine the data from four workstations I:, J:, K:, and L:. For other drives or network computers, place
the complete file path on a line in the NetList.txt file.
Thus the Netlist.txt file will look something like:
\\teststation1\EsdTest
\\teststation2\EsdTest
\\teststation3\EsdTest
\\teststation4\EsdTest
or for some operating setups may look like:
\\teststation1\c:\EsdTest
\\teststation2\c:\EsdTest
\\teststation3\c:\EsdTest
\\teststation4\c:\EsdTest
If the Log.txt, LogBak1.txt, and LogBak2.txt files grow too large, then
a. delete the Logbak1.txt file
b. delete the LogBak2.txt file
c. backup the Log.txt file to an external disk or tape drive if desired
d. either delete the Log.txt file, or use a text editor to remove the old unwanted data.
The Log.txt file should be reset periodically to prevent it from growing so huge that it slows down report processing. Click on "setup"
and then select the "Reset Log File" item. It will ask for a backup file name.
For very large companies, it may be desirable to backup the log.txt file to a monthly backup file (for example Log0699.txt for June
1999). For small companies, this should be done at least once per year on January 1st.
Every January 1st, the LogHist.txt on the test station computers should also be deleted.
If while generating reports to email, Outlook Express 6 generates a warning message saying "An application is attempting to send
email in your name", then disable the messages by opening Outlook Express, clicking Tools, Options, Security, Virus Protection, and
uncheck the box that says" Warn me if other applications try to send mail as me."
There are three check boxes at the bottom of the window:
Check the one labeled "Include Message" to include the report in the email message body
Check the one labeled "Attach .txt file to attach the report as a .txt file
Check the one labeled "Attach .csv file to attach the report as a .csv file
Note that at least one of these must be checked or the default will be the message body with the ,csv file attached.
“A program is automatically trying to send email on your behalf.”
