Seitter · Post by **Seitter** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:45 am

after the hostmoni-update from 6.8 to 7.22, the execute external program doesn't work.

the syslog has the following entry:
10.06.2008 17:20:57 Command "c:\sdevent\sd_event.exe -f c:\sdevent\sd_event.ini -m update -v SourceID=2542 Status=Abschluss_Ex LösungEx="NT6600MM003 AB Test W. Seitter, TestZeit: 10.06.2008 17:20:57 ,aktueller Status/Wert: Ok/"" executed

but it seems like there's no execution of the exe

is there a way to debug the execution

i need a little help
regards wolfgang

We have rechecked HostMonitor's code. I am sure if HostMonitor records "command .. executed" this means command was executed.

Debug the execution? Well, HostMonitor records error description in the log. If you see "command .. executed" message this means HostMonitor did not detected any problem, external program was started. If that program does not do what do you expect, you should ask developers of the software (sd_event.exe) is there are any debug options.

BTW We have not changed code that executes "External" action since version 6.80, except little changes that were necessary for new Quick Log options.
