Has anyone been able to get the 7.x ALARMPROGRAM parameter to use or execute a Perl script, or something other then a 'sh' script?? OnLine doesn't like more then 1 argument specified in ALARMPROGRAM, and the engine invokes ALARMPROGRAM with '/bin/sh sh -c' I could have ALARMPROGRAM call a 1 line shell script which does an 'exec' of the Perl script, but I'd rather not....bad form. Any suggestions?? TIA Jon Vemo
