Doesn't work.
I got this in the log:
Saturday, November 06, 2004 8:50:08 AM Alert Executing start
"c:\mainton2.bat"
Saturday, November 06, 2004 8:50:08 AM ERR AlertEgine_DoAlert ( 2,COMD, 840)
:File not found
I tried the quotes around the whole string ("start c:\mainton2.bat" and
without quotes) nothing works.
If I copy and paste "start c:\mainton2.bat" at the command line, it works so
I KNOW the files IS found and DOES work. So something is not right in the
application.
Now I am running this as a service. Someone suggested running it as an
application. I don't know how to do that but will go check the help file to
see if it is explained in there.

You may need to use Start and specify the starting directory.
REF:
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]
"title" Title to display in window title bar.
path Starting directory
B Start application without creating a new window. The
application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application
enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt
the application
I The new environment will be the original environment passed
to the cmd.exe and not the current environment.
MIN Start window minimized
MAX Start window maximized
SEPARATE Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
SHARED Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class
NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class
HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class
REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class
ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate
command/program
If it is an internal cmd command or a batch file then
the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe.
This means that the window will remain after the command
has been run.
If it is not an internal cmd command or batch file then
it is a program and will run as either a windowed
application
or a console application.
parameters These are the parameters passed to the command/program
If Command Extensions are enabled, external command invocation
through the command line or the START command changes as follows:
non-executable files may be invoked through their file association just
by typing the name of the file as a command. (e.g. WORD.DOC would
launch the application associated with the .DOC file extension).
See the ASSOC and FTYPE commands for how to create these
associations from within a command script.
When executing an application that is a 32-bit GUI application, CMD.EXE
does not wait for the application to terminate before returning to
the command prompt. This new behavior does NOT occur if executing
within a command script.
When executing a command line whose first token is the string "CMD "
without an extension or path qualifier, then "CMD" is replaced with
the value of the COMSPEC variable. This prevents picking up CMD.EXE
from the current directory.
When executing a command line whose first token does NOT contain an
extension, then CMD.EXE uses the value of the PATHEXT
environment variable to determine which extensions to look for
and in what order. The default value for the PATHEXT variable
is:
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD
Notice the syntax is the same as the PATH variable, with
semicolons separating the different elements.
When searching for an executable, if there is no match on any extension,
then looks to see if the name matches a directory name. If it does, the
START command launches the Explorer on that path. If done from the
command line, it is the equivalent to doing a CD /D to that path.

Hmm and that is something we forgot apparently...the logging of the command
that are executed as alert.
I just added that to the build on http://beta.woodstone.nu Can you retry
with that build, that way you will at least see that SA tries to execute the
command.

When it says path not found, you would assume it is logical, but it isn't
consistent.
The logfile is blank when it DOES work!!
I can put an alert in to run notepad.exe, and it will run notepad - when it
does this and works, there is NO ENTRY IN THE LOG!

If you send the same question twice (list and support) we answer the first
we get, and that was apparently the list...
When it shows path not found or file not found, then it seems logical that
it can't be executed.
As for those were nothing is within the logfile, I can only presume that
this means that the alert didn't fire because it didn't meet the conditions.
Dirk.

I sent an email to support with this information and never got an answer.
v4.1.1609.
Somethings I try to run show path not found, others say file not found, yet
others show nothing at all.

We have the latest version of SA (licensed) and can't get Alert Commands to
work. It does work if I try to run "notepad.exe" or "iexplore" and some
other things like that, but not to run an EXE or BAT file that I have
run....
Any ideas?
