Does anyone know of a free utility that'll notify W2K Event viewer warnings & errors through mail?

I don't know of anything but if you have any Visual C++ developers there is a lot of information on reading the items in Event logs on MSDN. I have done some stuff writting to the logs froma service app and client app but have not played with the reading part.

Probably the easiest way to do this without purchasing something is to use Perl. The Win32::EventLog package has everything you need to read the event log. The Net::SMTP has everything you need to send the email (provided you have an SMTP server).
A Windows version of Perl is available through ActiveState. I've got a walk through about installing and getting started with it on my web site.

Thanks for the immediate reply, all the 3 of you.
I tried google. But I dint get any shareware.
I thought of scribling one with VB. But I dont know how easy it is and I am not a programmer.
Yesterday I was in a book store and I was looking at books on Perl. But I dint buy it. Looks like its worth buying one.

All the Perl books from O'Reilly except for the one on data structures (linked lists, trees, etc) are online at http://safari.informit.com/ which is basically a site where you pay a subscription fee each month to have X number of books available for your on-line perusal. You can switch books in and out every month. You may take a look there as well.
