Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply.
I was going to put it as error when i got it to work, but to get the alert to fire and to check if it was working i was just trying it out with opening..e.g I bring the thread up and then pull the api connecting to the thread to make it go into an opening state. I then wait the amount of time but unfortunately it never seems to want to fire up. Am I leaving something out in the alert. I have stopped the daemon and inserted the new alert file and it says its starts ok. Is there any other process i need to do.
Thanks
