Good Morning,
I am working on a project and I need help with some code. The code I wrote monitors all 24 Digital Inputs, takes that data and places into a string value which is used to display. I then have if then statements to check for a one. I then have that output trigger the string value $FAA. If the condition is met then an email is sent out.
I guess what I am asking is if the condition is met for an email to be sent, I only need an email sent once. The code I have wrote, it will email a lot.
If any more coder with a lot more knowledge than me could take a look for me it would be appreciated.
Code posted below.

Once it triggers the call, do you want the script to stop until you manually restart it or do you want it to keep checking the condition and reset to start calling on next failure when everything is working again? (the former is probably easier).
Alan
The script need to continue on. To check the other ports. I also have a mobile page I created that has a visual also.
OK. Need to think about it some more. That adds to the complexity. You are probably going to need a separate "$notified_port_dx" variable for each port that suppresses notification if set to "y" and resets to "n" if you get a good read on the port.
Alan
Do I need to create a string value that stores the date? Compares the date and then decides how old the date is? The time it takes to have the particular port cleared could take days.
Or just comment out the email portion of the code and think about it.
I just now had a thought that a counter could help, but I would need to know how many possible times the counter would count within a certain time frame...
There are probably cleaner ways to do this with arrays. Also, might want to do file write and reads rather than storing everything in live variables so that you can restart the EZ-B, ARC, or the PC running it without losing current status.
I am hoping one of the more advanced scripting wizards will poke their head in this thread with some better ideas.
Alan
Alan raised an important issue.
how do you deal with windows reboots ? you will need to manually logon, launch the ARC, connect to EZB, etc.
my suggestion: use a powershell script add a windows schedule task to run the powershell script
@ptp I will handle reboots on a monthly - bi-weekly basis. I can add a script to launch the script upon startup.
There will be some manual intervention with this. Thank You.
I think I will just forgo the email portion.
@thetechguru So, instead of having for instance a 0 or 1. Have a third condition.
So to expand, I will have to create an array 24 long by 3 wide...... Let me see what I can come up with.
Thanks.
