This .cmd runs a Splunk CLI script that generates a report which correlates to the alert.</P> <P>I am assuming that Splunk only recognizes .sh files within the <CODE>C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin\scripts</CODE> directory. Therefore, is there an easy way to execute a .cmd file with a .sh script?</P> <P>Thank you!<BR /> Daniel</P> Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:22:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122770#M1859 dscoland 2014-06-27T16:22:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122771#M1860 <P>Is this even possible?</P> Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:29:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122771#M1860 dscoland 2014-06-27T20:29:11Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122772#M1861 <P>If you are running Splunk on Windows, Splunk will run <CODE>.bat</CODE> scripts instead of <CODE>.sh</CODE> scripts.</P> <P>So just write a <CODE>.bat</CODE> script that launches whatever you like!</P> Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:19:32 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122772#M1861 lguinn2 2014-06-27T23:19:32Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Execute-cmd-Splunk-CLI-Script-alert-with-sh-Shell-Script-File/m-p/122773#M1862 <P>I was able to successfully create the .bat file.
