<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have configured perfmon on a windows xp 64 bit machine to monitor the cpu usage of a running process.<br />
<br />
If I tell it to log an entry in the event log this works fine, but if I ask it to launch a batch file, it fails to launch the batch file and logs an entry in the event log stating:<br />
<br />
&quot;Unable to execute command '' for the checkbatch alert. &nbsp; The alert will continue as scheduled. The error code returned is in the data.&quot;<br />
<br />
i have tried selecting some command arguments, and no command arguments. and it doesnt seem to matter what script of app im trying to launch, i tried notepad.exe and this also fails to pop up when the alert is triggered.<br />
<br />
so its log in event viewer, but doesnt run any program. any ideas?<br />
thanks<br />
