Hi, Does anyone know how to dectect the fact that an entry was just made in
the Event Viewer?
I need to catch and filter these logs as soon as they are written.

Hello

Yes i know how to do this    ,,,,

A few years ago i made a administrator notifier ,,, the dell poweredge
series for wich it was does write even the opening of the case to the event
log with its management software,,, what i needed was that on every critical
event ( defined by us ) a e-mail was sent to the administrators group


so after finishing this project and doing some pioneering i decided to
donate the code

please note that this is code from a few years ago   ( i could now acomplish
probably the same in a nicer cleaner way however you get the point i hope
:-)

regards
