[python-win32] help with Event Log

[Jorgensen, Jens]

I don't think that an EventLog handle is valid for use with any of the 
Wait* functions. Why not just read to the end of the event log (when the 
read function will return an empty list) and then sleep for 10 seconds, 
and try to read again?

import win32evtlog, time, win32gui

h = win32evtlog.OpenEventLog('your computer', 'Application')

while 1 :
    l = win32evtlog.ReadEventLog(h,  
win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ|win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ, 0)
    if not l :
        time.sleep(10)
        continue
    for i in l :
        if <test to see if event is of interest> :
            win32gui.MessageBox(0, 'an intruder is detected', 'intruder 
alert', 0)
