Syntax:	DASHBOARDMSG	[ message ] [ /options ]
Arguments:	[ message ]	A variable or string containing the message to write to the “Messages” column of Robo-FTP Dashboard.
Options:	/status=good	This option will set the color under the “Status” column to green.
	/status=warn	This option will set the color under the “Status” column to yellow.
	/status=bad	This option will set the color under the “Status” column to red.

The DASHBOARDMSG script command is used to update the Robo-FTP Dashboard.

If the /status option is omitted the color under the Dashboard's “Status” column will not change; it will remain the same.

The following example will change the message under the “Messages” column to “Running Script” but does not change the status color.

DASHBOARDMSG "Running Script"

The following example will change the message under the “Messages” column to “Error occurred logging onto FTP site” and it will also change the color in the “Status” column to red.

DASHBOARDMSG "Error occurred logging onto FTP site" /status=bad

PAUSE /for=2

GOTO send_err_email

Depending on the speed of your computer and the particular commands in your script, script execution may proceed faster than the Messages column can update. Consider inserting a short PAUSE after a call to DASHBOARDMSG if updating the Message column text is very important to your process.
