Robert, I appreciate your reply it was helpful.
All, I also spoke with Support yesterday in regards to this issue and we found out my main issue was with the TCL Alert script I had created.
With the TCL Alerts, you can specify how often you want the script executed; such as every 6 polling passes (a polling pass is 5 seconds). So with my script which passes return values of 0,1,2, or 3; if I define a an alert around this and say I want an e-mail if the value is equal to 3, then the first time it is a 3 I get an e-mail but I will not get another e-mail until the script returns another value other than 3 first which in effect resets this alert.
So on the first pass if the value is 3 I get an e-mail, but if the very next pass is also a 3 I do not. If the third pass is anything but 3(because my alert is defined to be equal 3), then I will receive an e-mail on the next occurrence of value 3.
This comes in handy when you want to monitor the Error DB without setting up a bunch of alerts that may fire if the monitor daemon is restarted. I can provide my TCL Alert file if anyone else wants to venture into this craziness. Though I do see a lot of potential here.
Jerry
