Not really, I actually cheat. It's not a check per se. It's a batch file, that runs an app, then depending on the result returned from the app, the batch file modifies a text file that is published by a www server. As such, I don't actually care about what SA thinks of the result, I don't even have it published on any SA pages, I actually use SA as a scheduler, of sorts, to run this batch file. it is run locally, by an admin equivalent user. simple as that.
for the curious, here is what this does, and why. I am, like many, multi-homed. Also like many of us, I live for stats. therefore, I want to know which of my links is being used, and in what proportion. so I have a batch file that: 1) runs a traceroute to a host statically routed through routerA 2) analyse the output of that traceroute to see if I find routerA+hop1 3) if so, increment counter for linkA (simple text file published in a frame on a www server) 4) if not, increment counter for linkB (ditto) 5) exit The process actually works, even when SA thinks the check is unavailable for the 1st time.... ________________________ Roland Gaspar Tel.: (514) 398-7880 xt 8603 ICQ # 1355591 www.patlq.com/~roland >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/10/02 1:57:24 PM >>> Do you need any special security to do the check Is it a gui/service issue Doug Woznicki -----Original Message----- From: Roland Gaspar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 1:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] 1st time around check unavailable Nope.. every cycle, schedule is green... ________________________ Roland Gaspar Tel.: (514) 398-7880 xt 8603 ICQ # 1355591 www.patlq.com/~roland >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/10/02 1:51:43 PM >>> Do you have it checking every x out of x times?

I have 3 checks (ouf of 90) that, on the 1st cycle only, show up as unavailable. This happens every time I restart SA, so not often, but still, affects my stats. 2 of these are nt process checks, and the other one is an errorlevel check. Again, these 3 (out of 90) fail the 1st time only. If I stop SA and have it wait for a few minutes, then start all checks, they will still fail, so I don't think it's a timing issue. Although I just upgraded to the newest release this AM, this has been hapenning for a few versions now, had just forgotten about it, as I don't restart SA often enough for it to be a bother.. but it's fresh in my mind now... getting old.. you know...
