The DEBUG part is as it says a debug logging that is still in the final
code.  Not linked to your alert.
Try setting the WHEN part of the alert to ALWAYS, that way the alert has to
be fired independantly of the status.  At least we can then see if there is
a problem or not.
Also within the .BAT file try starting with a PAUSE command, and ending with
one (after the blat command), that way you will at least see the command
starting and the eventual error of the command itself.

Subject: [SA-list] Getting BLAT/STUNNEL To Work For Alerts

Normally I send Alerts to my cell phone as SMS messages using my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] email address.  However, I am currently trying to get
Servers Alive (5.0.1743) to send using my Gmail account when mail starts to
pile up at my outbound mail server as this would indicate a problem at the
mail server and presumably my notifications won't go out.

I have a batch file which calls BLAT and sends via STUNNEL via Gmail's SSL
Port.  It runs fine when run manually.  The command the batch file is
running is as follows:
blat -server 127.0.0.1:26 -to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-subject "Servers Alive" -body "Problems With Mail Server" -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-pw mypassword

In SA I go to my entry, switch the Alert tab, hit ADD, Execute Command, then
select "Normal Command (EXE/BAT/...)" and in the command I enter
c:\pathto\BlatAlex.bat and hit OK then UPDATE.

When I test the alert in SA nothing happens - the batch file doesn't seem to
run and STUNNEL doesn't register a hit in its log.

I turned on SA logging and got the following:

Thursday, June 01, 2006 10:20:01 AM Email Queue Thursday, June 01, 2006
10:20:01 AM External COM check started
(W00000010,17,-1)
Thursday, June 01, 2006 10:20:01 AM DEBUG: got new parameters Thursday, June
01, 2006 10:20:01 AM External COM check (W00000010,17):Found  42 files
expected less then 30

I don't understand what "DEBUG: got new parameters" means.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alternatively, does anyone have any other suggestions on doing this?

Thanks,
Alex
