Hi,

My apologies if this question has already been asked. I'm trying to create a trigger which checks a Windows directory for NO CHANGE within a defined time period. Meaning, if the contents of a directory does not change within a define time period or interval, then send an alert. Basically the REVERSE of monitoring for changes to a directory or file in a directory.

Thanks,

Michael

Sounds difficult to do with a trigger. Maybe you can check the file with the last modified date? So if you check at 16:00 , and the last Modified date is older than say 3 hours, you send an email?

Hi,

You could also use an integer variable to do this.
Having a trigger on the folder monitoring the changes and if so add 1 to the variable.

At time x you check the variable if it's your initial value, if so: No changed -> send an email (you can use a condition for this).
Don't forget to reset the counter. ;-)

Regards,
Erik
