Is it my weather.wmf file???

Can someone do me the favor of examining my weather.bat file to see if it is configured correctly? I am still having issues with my weather map not updating, even if I run the bat file manually it will not update. I know it grabs the most current map because when I open it the most current day and time are stamped. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the reading of my file:

======================================================

c:
   cd "\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Maps\NetObjects\Imported"
   wget http://image.weather.com/looper/archive/us_radar_plus_usen/5L.jpg
   del weather.wmf
   composite no-matte.png 5L.jpg weather.jpg
   rename weather.jpg weather.wmf
   del 5L.jpg

=====================================================

Additionally these are the files in the directory listed above:

no-matte.png

AEG_Worldwide_Network_Nodes.wmf

weather.wmf

Have you tried running each line manually? That is where I would start.

Try doing each line and tell me where you encounter a problem.

I am also having a problem with this process. I get the original map. When I try to run the batch file it does update the map. It tries 20 times to te retrieve it but cannot find the file. I have cut and pasted the address in the batch file from the original connection to the site, I have hand entered it, I have cut it and pasted it out of the batch file from the instruction here on the forum and nothing works. This would be a very helpful process for me since I monitor networks all over the country and it helps to know what is happening weather wise when issues arise.

Thanks

I feel you! I also tried everything I know and I couldnt get it to update manually.

Now exactly what do you mean by running each line manually?

Open a command window and open the bat file.

They try each line of the bat file in the command window and see where it's bombing out.

So in a command window try these 1 at a time. You'll notice I first change to the E: drive since there is where I have Orion installed. Yours will probably be different.

e:
cd "\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Maps\NetObjects\Imported"
wget image.weather.com/.../5L.jpg
composite no-matte.png 5L.jpg weather.jpg
del weather.wmf
rename weather.jpg weather.wmf
del 5L.jpg

When the command "composite no-matte.png 5L.jpg weather.jpg", I get the following.

composite: unable to open image `no-matte.png': No such file or directory.
composite: unable to open file `no-matte.png'.
composite: missing an image filename `weather.jpg'.

Everything before works fine.
