RE: [SA-list] Execute Command type Alert

Bingo !!

 

Security issue.

 

Because SA is running as a service using the local system account, it did not have permission to access the LAN.

 

Thanks

And how is Servers Alive running?  As service or as application?

SA is apparently (from what you're saying) starting the bat/cmd/.. but the command(s) inside fail?  Could this be a security issue?

Subject: [SA-list] Execute Command type Alert

I have a custom application that polls a database and I'm using servers alive to monitor the process.

 

If the process dies or is accidentally closed by a user, I want servers alive to restart the application at the next poll.

 

I have implemented this using process monitoring, and the execute command as alert (i.e. run the prog again).

 

The problem I am experiencing is that whenever launched from SA, the database polling will not work, the application simply returns an error accessing the database.

 

I have tested multiple launch mechanisms to ensure it is not a prob with the app, I have :-

 

a. Run from a shortcut

b. Run from a batch file

c. Run from a CMD prompt

d. Run from the "Run" dialogue of Windows

e. Launch directly from Explorer.

 

All conditions work, but it simply won't run with SA.

 

I also wrote a small application which had the sole task of launching the first app, but again, when launched by SA we get exactly the same results as above.

 

Any ideas ???

 

Regards
