I thought I'd chip in with my suggestion... Convert your external actions to file writing actions.
Use the files you write out as triggers - have a scheduled BAT file that looks for these files in a designated directory, and get that scheduled BAT file to set off the BAT files you are currently calling direct from Witango. Clunky, and would have an element of time delay, but should work.

This is an error when an External Action is used. They are poorly written in Witango and you would be good to remove those actions. In my opinion they are a cause for a majority of stability issues. They are also very difficult to debug. What's happened is that the last time one was called, it didn't return. And there's no timeout, so the thread is locked. I believe the root issue is that the External Action code isn't threadsafe. If you could serialize access to the External Action, it might stabilize the server. I've never tried this, as I've opted to simply remove them.

Is there a way to read into the error in detail so I can look at fixing the call made to the external actions?
