Alerts not working

Question

Hi,

I've enabled an alert based on the node status (up or down) with 2 actions: send an email and execute a vbs.

When I perform the test, it works fine, but the vbs doesn't start when the status changes. The email works fine.

I tried compiling the vbs in exe, change the vbs, etc....

Is there anybody who has any idea?

Thanks....

Not exactly... when testing both of the action are correctly executed, but when the alert happens the first part (send a mail) works but the second part doesn't (execute a vbs). The exact command is cscript.exe c:\script-solwin	est1.vbs

I don't know which kind of permission should I set up... I think the problem is something regarding the permission...

Thanks

Simone

So you're saying that when testing this alert, the first action executes (send a mail) but the second part doesn't (execute a vbs)? Is the correct full path to the VB script provided? I'm assuming appropriate permissions are in place? You may need to wrap the entire command in double quotes such as "c:	est.vbs"
