hi Rafael, there are three kind of variables that can be used in SEC rules: 1) action list variables which are visible in action lists only (e.g., %t or %s), 2) match variables which are set by patterns (e.g., $1 or $+{varname}), 3) Perl variables that are set and used in Perl code snippets defined/invoked in/from SEC rules. Since the 'script' field which defines a command line to external program, only match variables can be used in this field. BTW, what sort of functionality the external program implements and what data are held by $my_variable? Maybe there is another way to express the same idea with a different rule... kind regards, risto
