I want to run an external PHP program when an alert gets triggered. I've tried entering these into the field: c:\php\php.exe c:\folder\script.php c:\php\php.exe -f c:\folder\script.php c:\\php\\php.exe c:\\folder\\script.php c:/php/php.exe c:/folder/script.php All of these result in: "Error creating process c:\php\php.exe c:\folder\script.php. Windows error code 2: The system cannot find the file specified. If I run these from the command prompt it works fine: c:\php\php.exe c:\folder\script.php c:\php\php.exe -f c:\folder\script.php What is the right way to format this? Thanks! |

I wasn't able to find a solution to this, so I created a C program that does what I need, so I just run the .exe, which needs no arguments. It's faster as well.

Hey there, How did you get the calling of the external .exe to work? For some reason regardless of whether I use the full path or not, the program never gets called despite the alert condition being met. |

Check the Window >> Message Log in Sierra Chart at the time you expect the program to be run. You will see a line indicating the program being run and there will be an error message shown.

I'm running the latest version of SC and trying to debug running program on alert. I am not seeing any lines regarding the alert in Message Log. The alert fires, alert manager window shows the alert, I hear the audio message and see the cme.exe window flash open but nothing is showing up in Message Log. Did something change? Check the Window >> Message Log in Sierra Chart at the time you expect the program to be run. You will see a line indicating the program being run and there will be an error message shown.

We checked and there is no Message Log message for this. We will add this to the next release. We will also implement support to show the error message.
