Before I get to that - I was working with NOTEPAD and CALC - both commands I know DO work. What I found is that I can get EITHER one of them to run when the device is down. BUT, I have a second alert for the same device to run the OTHER one (I use calc if down, notepad if back up after a down) and the BACK UP exe never runs.... the log shows the command running on the DOWN but never shows an entry for the BACK UP AFTER DOWN.

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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Bulinckx [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 6:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Command Alerts 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.

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!

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.
