  • 1.  Does a clone task generate a log file, and if so, where?

    Posted Jan 18, 2007 05:05 PM
    I am trying to further automate the cloning process. I can initiate a cloning/restore task from outside of Ghost Solution Suite. However, I haven't figured out how to tell programmatically that the operation has finished/succeeded. This would be very helpful, as I could then run through further steps.

    I figure that periodically checking a log file would be one obvious way to handle the issue, but I am open to other solutions.

    Any pointers would be welcome.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,

    The task log is directly uploaded to the database, so there is no log file created. There is no API to get that information programmatically, and the only indication is the status in task pane at the bottom.

    Outside GSS, one possibility is checking if the machine had boot back to Widows by remotely connecting (or using ping). Depending on the environment, it might be easier to get the machine to create a file in a network share and check for that too.
