    Recording Events from the Quick Event Recorder

    The EventRecorder.exe program is a small program which can be setup to quick add commonly occurring events such as : taking phone calls, booking routine meetings.
    You setup an event, such as the length, references, etc and with a single click it can be added when ever you want - It can also run from the command line

    Command Line Usage is :

    "C:\Program Files\acute\netdiary\EventRecorder.exe" hi there

    The above line run from the Start --> Run menu , or from a batch file will add a diary event with the details "hi there" and the date/time that it was entered

    Using Batch Files to add events from other programs

    Say you want to keep track of when a program is run.
    There are several options, many programs keep their own logfiles but most don't. Using the event recorder you can have a batch file call the program you need logged and use it to also make an automatic entry in the diary.

    Example Batch File to run an intensive data processing job and record it:
    @echo off
    echo Recording Diary Event ...
    cd "c:\Program Files\acute\netdiary"
    EventRecorder Running Data processing job
    cd "d:\apps\dataProc\"
    d:\apps\dataProc\run.exe
