event handlers

Using Powershell, you can issue the task as a job, which will then run in the background without the need for a return message.  This can keep the script "lighter"  I did this in SCOM to handle restarting the SCOM service where necessary.  I'd issue the job and the script would just move on.  I'm currently working on a script that lives on the collector as an external alert target that has a collection of scripts/tasks stored at the collector level.  The message being sent to the collector manager (or whatever I choose to call it... it'll be something witty) can be used to tell it which script you're really trying to run and it runs it for you.  It'll take stored credentials that are passed and use CredSSP delegation to pass those credentials on to a target machine to run the needed task (I've posted the delegation code in another thread about this topic).

By the time I finish, Logic Monitor will probably have it included
