Here's my two cents... Change the code around to suit your needs. This code will do away with opening a file of servers (nodes in my case), no sense in creating more files to make a mess of things? ya know?

By the way this has been tested on windows 2000 server 2000 pro and windows Xp

Hope it helps!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::EventLog;

my @nodes = qw(NODE1 NODE2 NODE3);

foreach  my $node(@nodes) {
    &GetEvents($node);
}

sub GetEvents {

    my($myServer) = @_;
    my($date)=join("-", ((split(/\s+/, scalar(localtime)))[0,1,2,4]));
    my($dest);
    my @logs =qw(Security System Application);

    foreach my $eventLog (@logs) {
    
        my $handle=Win32::EventLog->new($eventLog, $myServer) || die "
+Can't open Application EventLog on $myServer $!";
        $dest="C:\\Perl\\scripts\\$eventLog\\$date.evt";
        $handle->Backup($dest) || die "Could not backup and clear the 
+$eventLog EventLog on $myServer ($^E)\n";
        $handle->Close;
    }

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
