Hi guys,
Recently i have been playing with the sync toy 2.0 and its a very cool tool but there is somethign which annoys me very much. Why does it not return any error code when one of the sync operations fail fully to execute ?
Currently I have come up with a solution that sync me folders that is run as a batch in the system scheduler, when the operation to sync fails it suppose to send an email. See batch code for this:
===========
@echo off
echo Synchronizing files...
"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe"/R "My sync job"
if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto error
goto done
:error
echo Sending error mail...
SET
EMAILFROM=someone@someone.comSET
EMAILTO=someone@someone.comSET SUBJECT="Sync tool failed !"
SET MAILSERVER=mymailhost.com
SET CONTENT="Sync tool exited with error, please verify logs to see whats wrong."
bmail -s %MAILSERVER% -t %EMAILTO% -f %EMAILFROM% -a %SUBJECT% -b %CONTENT%
goto done
:done
==========
for sending emails i use free command line tool:
http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htmThe main problem is that if you make on of the lines on "right side" read-only to sync job to generate an error and run the schedule task the even that there were some actions required the error code from sync toy is 0 which means more less that it didnt produce any error but it had some actions required so it did generate errors.
Any ideas how to solve that ?
(I'm talking only about the cmd line sync tool).
