Script to monitor folder size

[masterwix]

Hello
i trying to make a script to monitor the size folder every hour and cant :
any help will apreciated.

i need something like this:

script one:
1-chek the actual size of the folder and write the size to a txt file.(in a remote pc like: \\pc2\folder1 )

script two
2-read the file size from the txt and compare with the actual folder size , if size was changed - close the script.
if size not changed open url.

I'm not entirely sure how those two things are related; you can easily have both of those things in the same script that gets run hourly by the Task Scheduler.

Please provide as many details as possible about the task.

What do you have so far, and what errors are you encountering?

Does the folder you are monitoring contain subfolders that need to be accounted for? Hidden files?

in a remote pc like: \\pc2\folder1

As far as I am aware, network paths like that are not usable from the command line. You would need to map the path to a drive letter.

Many commands do support that syntax, try the copy or xcopy commands.

Good to know, I never tested them extensively.
