powershell - IF statement + send-mailmessage confused -

-

quick question; want make log of bad stuff happening servers, that's not question.

the log should deleted upon send, , if there no log @ time script being run should send different message, without attachment.

here's script far:

        <# set-executionpolicy unrestricted -force iex ((new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1')) cinst bettercredentials #>  import-module bettercredentials $mailcred = get-credential -user user@gmail.com -pass 12345password try{ $file = c:/path/errorfile.log } catch [system.management.automation.psargumentexception]  {   "invalid object"  }  catch [system.exception]  {   "caught system exception"  }  { if ($file -eq ){     (send-mailmessage -erroraction silentlycontinue -from "server         <server@company.com>" -to "it dept. <itdept@company.com>" -subject "log of day." -body             "good morning,      fortuneatly, nothing bad report today!" -priority high -dno onsuccess, onfailure      -smtpserver smtp.company.com -credential ($mailcred) -usessl)          else (send-mailmessage -erroraction silentlycontinue -from "servers     <server@company.com>" -to "it dept. <itdept@company.com>" -subject "log of day." -body     "good morning,          here daily report." -attachments $file -priority high -dno onsuccess,     onfailure  -smtpserver smtp.company.com -credential ($mailcred) -usessl)         } }

what doing wrong here?

some parts of code not make sense. let's review those.

$file = c:/path/errorfile.log ... if ($file -eq ){

the first part assignment. in order find out wether errorfile.log exists, use test-path cmdlet so,

$file = test-path 'c:/path/errorfile.log'

always use quotes around file name. if got spaces within path, unquoted path doesn't work.

the second part actual test.

if ($file){ ... # file on disk, send alert , delete } else { ... # no file found, send ok  }

C# random value from dictionary and tuple -

-
i have following code, , need random item contains string "region_1" dictionary. public static dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>> itemarray = new dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>>() { { 0xb3e, new tuple<string, int, currencytype>("region_1", 1500, currencytype.fame) } }; public static int generateitemid(string shopid) { var generateditem = itemarray.elementat(new random().next(0, itemarray.count)).key; } how select this? it's not possible efficiently... first create static random @ class level... prevent non-random behaviour if run query on short period of time... (it's seeded discrete clock) static random rnd = new random(); then: var item = itemarray.values .where(t => t.item1 == shopid) .orderby(_ => rnd.next()) .firstordefault()

cgi - How do I interpret URLs without extension as files rather than missing directories in nginx? -

-
so i'm trying install zoneminder , have run under nginx, has few compiled files need run using fast-cgi. these files lack extension. if file has extension, there no issue , nginx interprets file , return 404 if can't find it. if has no extension, assume it's directory , return 404 when can't find sort of index page. here have now: # security camera domain. server { listen 888; server_name mydomain.com; root /srv/http/zm; # enable php support. include php.conf; location / { index index.html index.htm index.php; } # enable cgi support. location ~ ^/cgi-bin/(.+)$ { alias /srv/cgi-bin/zm/; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock; fastcgi_param script_filename $document_root/$1; include fastcgi.conf; } } the idea is, under cgi-bin directory goes through fastcgi pipe. any idea on howi can fix this? upon closer inspection, realized zoneminder has 2 cgi sc...
