Ian,
here
is an example from my Servers Alive installation:
c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "c:\data\servers alive\sa_dev\checkevt.pl" -p
benotesmail01:system:15:1:*:*:id:6009
I have
numerous eventlog checks that are running and they all use this version of the
check (checkevt.pl) and I have never had problems with them.
The
first part - c:\perl\bin\perl.exe - specifies the full path to the perl interpreter,
The second part - "c:\data\servers
alive\sa_dev\checkevt.pl" - specifies the full path to the checkevt.pl
script
The third part - -p
benotesmail01:system:15:1:*:*:id:6009 - is the commandline parameters for your
check, this third part does not need to be in quotes, however if the path of
either of the first 2 parts contains spaces, i.e. your perl installation or
the checkevt.pl script resides under the c:\program files\ area, then you need
to wrap these parts in quotes.
e.g.
when I installed my perl in the program files
directory
"c:\program files\perl\bin\perl.exe" "c:\data\servers
alive\sa_dev\checkevt.pl" -p
benotesmail01:system:15:1:*:*:id:6009
looking at your commanline, I would of expected the
following to work, notice no quotes used, as there are no spaces in your
paths.
c:\perl\bin\perl.exe c:\perl\bin\checkevt.pl -p
noos-dc01:security:10:1:*:*:id:644
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Andy

Tried that. Tried it without the quotes. Tried it with single quotes. Tried moving the .pl script to the same directory as the perl interpreter:
"c:\perl\bin\perl.exe c:\perl\bin\checkevt.pl -p noos-dc01:security:10:1:*:*:id:644"
None of this seems to work. Help! Has anyone else got this working?

The complete commandline should be within the quotes and not just the path/name of the script., and also I think that you should include the perl interpretor within the command. The association between a .PL file and the perl interpretor isn't done when executing a command via Servers Alive (the API calls we're using are apparently not doing this).
Dirk.

OK, now I'm trying the old perl checker. It seems to work on the command line, but if I put it into SA (using external errorlevel check) it comes up with an unknown application error:
14 October 2004 08:48:30 External check of :"C:\Program Files\salive\external\checkevt.pl" -p noos-dc01:security:10:1:*:*:id:644
14 October 2004 08:48:30 ERR : Unknown application ("C:\Program Files\salive\external\checkevt.pl" -p noos-dc01:security:10:1:*:*:id:644)
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks,
