Trigger is not triggered??

meikel

Hi, I startet a trigger with
instsrv.exe MYTRIGGERNAME c:\reskit\srvany.exe
Thanks to w.o.

Than I edited the registry like written in the documentation.
Added a key "Parameters"
Added a value "Application" with "BLAH\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe"
Added a value "AppParameter" with "BLAH\bin\iwcreate.ipl BLAH\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe BLAH\httpd\iw-binMYSCRIPT.ipl"
Added a value "AppDirectory" with "BLAH\tmp"
Where BLAH is the iwhome folder.

Started the service with "net start MYTRIGGERNAME".

But when i now create files or directories, nothing happens.

My script works fine. I tested it. It only writes a random value into a file. (It's only a testscript).

Even, when I try with the value "iwat SyncModify BLAH\httpd\iw-bin\MYSCRIPT.ipl" nothing happens, when it modify a dcr.

It's really, really, really time critical.
Please help me, before i got a mental breakdown.

Hopefully you managed to avoid the breakdown - but for future reference - I would recommend looking at "iwat" rather than "iwatpub", "iwatsub", etc.

"iwat" does not require the use of insrv or srvany - thus making it a lot easier to set up.

It does, however, require you to figure out the event string pattern you want to activate on - and to look for information in the command line arguments (@ARGV) rather than environment variables.

For my own personal experience, once "iwat" was released (4.5? 5.0? can't remember) I never used the older implementations again.... but that's me - some folks might have reasons for preferring the older utilties...
