Hi

I've an executable script which s triggering fine to run the mash gene to read the alert triggered over audio.

I've reinstalled slunk to run under the logged on account but although I can see the alert .exe fire in task manager but it's not showing on the desktop - speaking the alert.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Mark

Maybe a problem with the user account that splunk is running as? Maybe it doesn't have permission to play the sound?

It doesn't sound like the problem is related to Splunk since your exe fires. You might have better luck posting on StackOverflow.com

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
