Re: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates

[Glenn \ WCNet]

That is what I'm using.  I tried editing the .cmd file to do away with the variables and hard-wire my parameters into it.  It works either way (before or after eliminating the variables) when executed manually.  It does not work via Program Alias -- my .snf file does not change when an update notification arrives.   Procedure:  I send a test message to the update address.  I get back a copy of the test message, and a "S n i f f e r  update" notice indicating that an update occurred . . but, in fact, an update does NOT occur, the .snf file is still date/time stamped the same (I'm not using the -N option on WGET at this point, so a download should always occur).   I noticed now on the last test msg I sent, that I get both response msgs too quickly.  There's no way a download and rulebase replace can occur that fast.  Also, the contents of snfupd.txt does not change.  So apparently, the download and replace parts in the .cmd file are not running via the Alias, but the last line that sends a confirmation notice of the download/update is working.   But the whole thing DOES work when I trigger it manually by double-clicking on the .cmd file.  I get the "S n i f f e r  update" notice, and my .snf file does update.   What's the difference?  Why is the same .cmd file working via manual execute, but not via Program Alias?   G.Z.       ----- Original Message ----- From: Landry William To: sniffer@SortMonster.com Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 2:53 PM Subject: RE: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates Have you checked out ImailSnifferUpdateTools.zip?  It contains detailed instructions and can be downloaded from http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Help/AutomatingUpdatesHelp.html   Bill From: Glenn \ WCNet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 12:43 PM To: sniffer@SortMonster.com Subject: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates I've been doing Sniffer updates via a scheduled task.  Am trying to get it working via a Program Alias in response to update notifications.  The alias and .cmd file are in place, but it won't activate via the notifications, even when I send a test message to it.  I get a copy of the notification (or test message), and I get an emailed report that the update ran, but my .snf file does NOT change.  The update DOES work when the .cmd file is executed manually, so the .cmd file apparently is not the problem.  Is there a trick on Program Aliases that I'm missing?  Imail 7.15.   G.Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any included attachments are from Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. and are intended only for the addressee(s).
