[Xymon] BBWin won't run external scripts

[Carl Inglis]

Silly question - you do have this line uncommented don't you?

<load name="externals" value="externals.dll"/>

My <externals> section looks like this:

<externals>
     <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
     <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
     <load name="winUpdates"  value="cscript //B //nologo winUpdates.vbs"/>
     <load name="winupd"      value="cscript //B //nologo winupd.vbs"    />
     <load name="exchqueues"  value="C:\Windows\SysNative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -nologo -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File c:\bbwin\bin\exch-queues.ps1"/>
</externals>

The VBS scripts are in the bin directory because that's where I inherited them.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Xymon] BBWin won't run external scripts


We have a new install of Windows 2008 r2.  For some reason, BBWin will not run the couple of external scripts we have.   If I run them by hand (cscript sricpt.vbs) from the command line, I have no problem.  But if not it seems the scripts are being ignored.

For example,

        <load value="c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //B C:\BBWin\ext\SystemCheck.vbs" timer="5m" />

Event log shows the externals.dll is being loaded.  But can't see what's wrong.  Nothing in logs.  (note we default the installation to C:\BBWin).  Disk, CPU, msgs, processes correctly report.  Just not these externals.

I tried version 0.12 and 0.13 and still no luck.  Any clues?
