Running a fresh install of Dude v3.0rc3 on a fresh install of Windows 2003 sp2. setup a network map to export at an interval of 1 min as a jpg. Worked great. The config’ed The Dude to run as a service. Now it doesn’t work. Set the service to run as a proper user (“administrator” just for fun), still doesn’t work. Set Dude back to original “only run when logged on,” works like a charm.
I can see why you would want to do this… You can publish to a non secure web site and no one can make any changes.
The file will be in Program Files\Dude\data\files\mapname.png or what ever you export.
To copy the file out to your web server set up a scheduled task that runs a batch job to copy the file.
You could possibly find an ftp service or sftp service that would automate this.
Once you have the file on your web server make the web page. Then force auto refresh.
would refresh the page ever 5 minutes.
