I might suggest that you put a pause at the end of the batch file temporarily to see if any errors are generated during the processing.

I created the batch file and executed it on the command line and it works fine. But for some reason when I try to call that batch file from Whats Up via alerts for a device, it flashes a DOS widow for a fraction of a second then it disappears (this is the a batch file without any of the exit commands discussed earlier). The results are not exported to the text file, it is completely empty. I am running Win2K Professional, w/o NTFS, any ideas? Tasan "Joe Sepielli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@list.ipswitch.com on 11/26/2001 09:26:59 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Screen saver info Robert, You found the flaw in my original solution. The down devices are passed to cmd as a space separated list of devices. Each would be picked up as %1 %2 ... The following will write the entire command line to the output file. - Create a a bat file containing this command: echo %CMDCMDLINE%>test.out - Create a Program Notification: o Program filename=yourfile.bat o Program arguments= %d %t Down Devices: %e Devices with down services: %A - Create a Recurring Notification that calls yourfile.bat. Sample Output: CMD /C "C:\Program Files\WhatsUp\test.bat" 11/26/2001 12:13:00 Down Devices: host1.com host2.com Devices with down services: host3 host5 Note: This method will write the entire command line to the output file. You will need to parse the output file to strip out the following: CMD /C "C:\Program Files\WhatsUp\test.bat" Joe In reply to 26 Nov message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >I am looking into doing something similar, but instead of a screen >saver, I am only >going to update a system status marquee on a website.
