Hi Jim / Julie ,
Thanks a million for both your help. I had 2 things wrong , I had the alert setup as thread status rather than protocol and you were right jim I had typed in opening rather than selecting from list because the option didnt appear if alert type was thread. And thanks also to Julie the alert only fired when i put the cmd.exe /c in front of the hcicmd.
Thanks again for both of you for your help. Much appreciated.
Ray
