Can you run an external program from the trail version. if so i'm trying to

run a batch file that creates a test.txt file, but it dosnt seem to work.

also how are the variables passed.

is it

in command line c:\runbat.bat %SLNT_xxx%

and bat file echo %1% >> syslog.txt

this is only an example. Im running 2.1

many thanks

in the action definition, prefix your batch file with "cmd.exe /C", for

example:

"cmd.exe /c c:\runbat.bat"

This is one method, the other would be to use the %SLNT_xxx%

variables directly in the batch file: "echo %SLNT_xxx%"
