You'll probably have to use either powershell, windows script monitor, or linux script monitor (if its a linux machine) and write something to do this. Let me know your environment and i can probably help.

i Need to do it on windows server

This is a pretty basic and pretty rough windows script you could you use. Just change the path to point to the files you want. You can add more or delete them as needed. Let me know if you have any questions.

CheckifFileExists("C:\1.txt")

CheckifFileExists("C:\2.txt")

CheckifFileExists("C:\3.txt")

Wscript.Echo "Message: All files found"

WScript.Echo "Statistic: 0"

Wscript.quit(0)

function CheckifFileExists(FilePath)

Dim FSO

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If NOT fso.FileExists(FilePath) Then

Breakscript()

End If

end function

function Breakscript

Wscript.Echo "Message: At least one file was not found."

WScript.Echo "Statistic: 3"

Wscript.quit(3)

end function
