Define a Timed Alarm to Start a Program on the Server

Use this dialog to define or reset a timed alarm for executing a program on the %ProductName% server.

Timed Alarm ID
Specifies the ID of the timed alarm. You can use event data substitution to include text of the event that generates this action.
Time until Alarm Triggers in seconds (0=cancel)
Specifies the interval, in seconds, during which the event associated with this action must be received to avoid triggering this action. If the associated event is received within the specified interval, this action is not triggered and the timer is reset to begin countdown again.
Program Specification
Specifies the program file that is to be executed on the target system. When executing a program, the program specification may include the drive and directory information relative to the target system. An alternative to fully qualifying the program is to use a working directory.

System commands may also be specified, for example, "erase c:\logs\*.log". Note that in all cases, the target system's command processor is used to initiate each program or command.

Working Directory
Specifies the working directory used by the program. Specifying a working directory has the same effect as changing the current directory to a specified drive and directory before launching a program. This is especially helpful if the program being started needs to load other files or programs that are assumed to be in the same location.
