Termusers.pl issue

Are you seeing any errors in the event logs?  One thing you may have to do is put a bat file wrapper (like termusers.bat) that calls the command instead of the perl command directly.  I thought this was no longer needed.  Etienne may have some better insight as to why BBWin doesn't want to run it as is.

Hi
i'm trying to use your termusers.pl external script but it seems that the script doesn't run automatically and on Hobbit the status is always in purple . if i run it manually from a command line the script run normally and the status is updated on Hobbit.

below my BBWin.cfg:

The script .pl is saved in c:\ntutils.
Any suggestions to fix the issue ?
Thanks
