Samples Please for Scripts?

[Ed Willson]

I just ordered a SF100-G today – It will be here tomorrow.

What I am planning is to mainly use it during an email outage, or WAN/MPLS outage to contact users. I think I have a decent handle on that.

The other use is as a last man standing alert system for our NMS (Solarwinds). Can someone provide a couple samples for how I could send a message from the command line? And perhaps send a message if network connectivity is lost?

Thanks,

Ed

Okay – Here’s a very basic script to send a message to a user in the address book. Might be useful for someone else starting out:

Filename: send.vbs

Code:

Dim connect

Set connect = CreateObject(“MSXML2.XMLHTTP”)

connect.open “GET”, “http://10.10.45.4:81/sendmsg?user=user&passwd=password&cat=1&ton=ed willson&text=Test”, False

connect.send

msgbox (connect.responseText)
