Powershell script to send email via Gmail if file is older than specified time
Hello,
I have a directory on a windows 2012 server where text files are dumped in order to be uploaded to a SQL server for ETL purposes; which generate a report to for a production site.
I need a powershell script ( or any script) to alert me via gmail (google apps) if the files in my directory are older than "X" amount time; 15 hours to be exact.
many thanks in advance

Why not download and install the free version of PRTG for proper monitoring instead?

Thanks for pointing out other solutions
With respect to prtg, I already have nagios and currently working on implementing GLPI.
Do you think I can achieve the same with nagios?
I'm any case, how would any of these net mon tools monitor the date/time stamp ?
I have a feeling this will require some tweaking

It seams like you were unable to authenticate with Google. There is a security option on Google accounts to allow connections from legacy applications (it's just a name that Google gives to what ever's not from Google)... Will send you the complete walkthrough in about 12 hours. (Got to get my beauty sleep...)
