Reply To: Alert Enhancement

Good idea!

I had a similar situation, I was wanting to check the reason of a proto error, and the time that it occured, and I got around it by setting the alert to exec a batch file. The batch file called an .htc file. That way I could check anything that I wanted about the status of a thread.

( I am on windows 2000)

my .bat has:

DownProtError to_Output “Open failed” 30

(.htc file name) (thread)   (error string) (time)

and my .htc has:

proc main {argv argc} {

   set threadName [lindex $argv 0]

   set errorString [lindex $argv 1]

   set recently [lindex $argv 2]

   catch {msiAttach} emsg

set nowtime [clock seconds]

msiGetStatSample $threadName var

keylget var PLASTERROR errortime

keylget var LASTUPDATE updatetime

keylget var PLASTERRTEXT ErrorText

if {[regexp $errorString $ErrorText]} {

    if {[expr $nowtime – $errortime] < $recently} {

   catch {exec cmd.exe /c hcicmd -p testP -c “to_Output pstop”} result

       }}

}

main $argv $argc
