PowerShell script to monitor objects - you may already have one
$30-250 USD

Hello. I am needing a PowerShell script that would monitor different objects based on criteria in a file.
Here is an example. I would like to be able to define an entry that would take an action in the following form:
Scenario 1:
Monitor a folder in the following location: c:\program files (x86)\fruit
Check to see if there are any *.html files and if they are more than 90 minutes old. If yes, then take an action - email via SMTP mail relay.
Scenario 2:
Monitor a folder in the following location: \\computername\bags
Check to see if there are any *.txt files and if they are more than 10 minutes old. If yes, then take an action - run a program (it would invoke a program basically but it does not need to wait for it to finish).
If you can create a PS script that would read from an external file so that I can have multiple entries. A vertical line or pipe symbol can be a delimiter. I plan to have multiple lines. This can be in any format if you have a preference - plain text/JSON/XML/..etc. An example of multiple entries would be:
Folder location (local or UNC accepted)|what extensions to monitor|aging in minutes|action to take
c:\program files (x86)\fruit|*.html|90|Email
\\computername\bags|*.txt|10|Runaprogram
So, it can have multiple functions and one would be Email. I can add more later as needed. Email would take the variables data and this would also create a log file of the process whenever it is run. I will set this in a scheduled task for now.
Logging is essential here. It helps with troubleshooting and if organized enough, I will ingest it into my logging server.
Please ask as many questions as I would prefer this to be right the first time so neither of us loses any time.
I am open to any other suggestions if you have another idea on how to tackle this or if you have already done this and can modify existing code to make this work.
Thank you

Hi, Anything I have to monitor folders is using FileSystemWatcher to pick up changes. This wouldn't be appropriate since you'd like to keep an eye on files that aren't changing. This might be fairly common. What you More
