Create new log every hour

[kadhri]

Hi all,

I am working on a script, in which I am saving ping output with timestamp of my servers to a text file.

I am using the following command

Code: Select all

IP = 10.0.0.2
Formattime, logtime, %A_Now%, yyyy-MM-dd_HH

Ext = | cmd /q /v /c "(pause&pause)>nul & for /l `%a in() do(set /p `"data=`" && echo(!date! !time! !data!)&ping -n 2 localhost>null"

Run,%comspec% /c ping %IP% -t %Ext% >> "%IP%_%logtime%.log"

It is executing well and creating log too.the problem is with log size,if I keep running this script , it is creating a huge log
I just want to create new log for every hour or every 10 mb.?

Suggest a way to achieve.

Thanks in advance
SDK.

When I try to run the script, it says "in() unexpected at this time". Could you check that line please (the Ext = line that is)?

Thanks for the reply rousubs
It is 'in ()'
There is a sapce, it was auto corrected.

I changed that, and also the "do(set" to "do (set", but now I just get a black screen with nothing going on. Could you get the script working and update / edit the original post then I'll try it again please?

Yeah..it's just a blank cmd screen,
The cmd output redirects to a text file, I will post my complete script.

Thanks for showing interest roysubs.
