Here's a brief example of a batch file, which will work as a "Program Notification" with the extra command "%u" added.
The %u become's %1 to the batch file.... pick a service on a server that's not needed, use that to page etc... As you can see, not a lot of programming? each PC would share the same batch file. Richard =================batch file============= if %1 == UP goto up if %1 == DOWN goto down goto end :up :check for files, if 3 start a service :remove files, one at a time goto end :down :check for files, if 3 stop a service :create up to 3 files, one at a time goto end :end ================end of batch================ -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 19 March 2003 10:05 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Alert From Multiple Down Devices. That way would work, but that is a lot of programming. The hard part is creating the email & pager sender in the batch file. That is why I picked WUG was to do the alerting, not to do it from a batch file. Unless WUG would allow command line access to it's alerting feature.

If a device goes down check if a file exists if not create down1 if down1 exists create down2 if down2 exists send alert on an up condition you would have to erase the down? files so that you could start all over -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 12:08 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Alert From Multiple Down Devices. Sorry about the last post. I maps of my branches. These maps include all of the PCs. I have alerts setup for all of the network gear. What I'm looking for is a way to alert if three or more of the PCs are down. I don't want an alert for each PC. Staff reboot computers and other things happen. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thank you for any help.
