There are four production portal servers. I need to check the logs in each, which means opening a putty session, logging in, running a grep on SystemOut.log. I wanted to be able to automate this.
I found a tool called AutoHotkey. This has quite a rich scripting language. I setup the following to prompt the user for the login password, login to each portal server and run a grep on the log.
