Sybase plugin and notepad running perl-scripts

After having some problems with metrics-collection using the sybase plugin on a windows server we looked through the agent.log.

This line appeared MANY times in my agent log file after setting up sybase ASE in HHQ

2008-07-25 05:42:20,748 ERROR [pool-1-thread-2] [ExecutableProcess] [c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe, pdk/work/scripts/sybase/get_sysmon_stats.pl, -s, servername, -i, 00:05:00, -u, sa, -p, '***********' Timeout running [c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe pdk/work/scripts/sybase/get_sysmon_stats.pl -s servername -i 00:05:00 -u sa -p '***********' ]

To fix this install a program like ActivePerl found here:

and then restart the agent.

Hope this helps another person wondering why notepad is used to run perl scripts 🙂
