Where exactly is this array created and how it is initialized? Since there is no straightforward way to fetch a child process exit code from rules, it might be simpler to have a PerlFunc pattern for executing the perl code and setting the array. However, if the perl code involves time-consuming external queries, I'd not recommend PerlFunc pattern, since it is not executed asynchronously. In that case, you could try the 'spawn' action for executing the perl script, and communicate with SEC by generating synthetic events from perl script. If you prefer to use SingleWithScript, you can also use the following strategy -- write the exit code value into a file, and have 'if () else ()' statements in your action list for executing different actions based on the content of the file. hope this helps, risto > Thanks. > > best, > > Yuheng > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Simple-evcorr-users mailing list > Simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users > >
