Execute an application

Hi,



I have a problem when I try to execute an application.

I put my bat file in C:Program FilesServersCheck_Monitoringexternal



Then, in the execute an application textbox of the alert page of my rule, I put the complete path, so C:Program FilesServersCheck_Monitoringexternaltesweb00_http_status.bat



Note that I add at the beginning of my bat file the following line: cd C:Program FilesServersCheck_Monitoringexternal



And nothing appears... It seems that my bat file is not launched.



Any idea?



Thanks

When the external app is executed, you should have a file created in the alerts subfolder called "execute.conf"



What is the content of that file?

The content of the file execute.conf is:



[execute.conf]

App=C:Program FilesServersCheck_Monitoringexternaltesweb00_http_status.bat



Of course when I launch manually my bat file, it works fine.



Thanks

What does your batch file do? You have to remember that it is launched by a service and not under the account you are using right now.

ok, so my batch file stops and starts a service on a remote server by using the microsoft program sc.exe.

Yes, it is true that when I launch my batch file, it is with the domain administrator account.

And it is not the case when serverscheck launches my batch file, isn't it?

I use a batch file because the service I have to restart is not stable and I have to wait a delay before starting the service. I have also more than one services to restart.

Do you have a solution ? Is it possible to run the serverscheck services with a domain admin account ?



Thanks

Yes the serverscheck monitoring service can run under a domain admin account.



Probably this is the reason why it does not work.

Problem solved !

Now the serverscheck monitoring service runs under a domain admin account.



Thank you very much for your help!

No problem. Glad it is solved.
