Folder Watcher/Synchronizer

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi,

I am looking for a folder watcher utility that runs a script upon anybody
adds a file to the folder.

I searched Google and there are tons of folder watch utilities; however I
would like to work with a standard and well known one.

Does resource kit contain such utility? Is there any standard/ tested folder
watch utility?

Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

Hi,

Here is a nice freeware file/folder monitoring utility that installs
itself as a service (works on WinXP):

http://www.xtware.com/filenotify/


An alternative is to script the monitoring (no need for any 3rd party
components):

In this article:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/oct04/hey1011.mspx

from Hey, Scripting Guy explains how to "Automatically Run a Script Any Time
a File is Added to a Folder".

More about this method:

See e.g. "Monitor File Creation" here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/storage/files/default.mspx
