External Program Alert

Has anyone gotten variables to be passed to an external program with an Advance Alert is triggered, or when an alert from a trap is triggered?

I try to run

C:\script\script.bat ${Node.SysName} ${Node.IP_Address}

C:\script\script.bat "${Node.SysName} ${Node.IP_Address}"

C:\script\script.bat "${Node.SysName}" "${Node.IP_Address}"

But none work.

Try it with quotes around the execution part as well as the varibles, i.e.

"C:\SW_ORION\scripts\event.bat"

I tried "C:\script\script.bat ${MESSAGE}" and got part way. I'm trying to get the trap alert message sent to the script. Now the script runs, but the message cuts off at the first space. Any way of getting the message in quotes?

hmm try something like...putting quotes around your message

"C:\SW_ORION\scripts\SD_EVENT_2var.bat" "description=${FullName} has
changed to ${Status}"

so "C:\script\script.bat ${MESSAGE}" "${test}"

Any luck on this?

I am also trying to use an external program to send audio to select workstations. I can run the command from the command line but not in the alert section.
