SYMPTOMS
========
If you set the Admin Performance Monitor (Perfmon) Alert to run a program on
alert, it may not work properly or error messages may appear.
CAUSE
=====
The execute command from Perfmon is also passing the Alert condition to the
program. This allows users to log the alert information. However, this also
causes a problem because most applications, such as Notepad, MPlay32, and even
Perfmon, are not ready for the extra arguments at the end of the command line.
WORKAROUND
==========
To set up a program to run on alert, put the line in a batch file and insert the
batch file name in the Run Program On Alert box.
