Hi I want to monitor a "DIRECTORY" if any log file is writing to it: "Error : xxx" - if located, a specified Exe can be triggered to execute.

Anyone suggest a tool with which this objective can be accomplished?

I also tried to accomplish the same by:

for /f "eol=; tokens=*" %%x in (C:\temp\*.log) do if "%%x" CONTAINS "error" LogMonAction.exe

Basically I tried to monitor all log files in C:\temp directory, if any log file created/updated since last night, execute "LogMonAction.exe" or another log file.

Problem with above script is, there's no such comparison operator "CONTAINS", and you cant do this on a DIRECTORY. And let aside the additional requirement - only files updated/created since last night.
