It doesn't have to be even that complicated. Try this one. Create a bat file called echovar.hidden.bat and put in \usr\ov\bin with these contents

::
:: The purpose of this script is to echo variables to a file
:: to test the hidden appl
:: You must pass variables to the script as $S, $1, $2 etc
:: and variables which might contain spaces must be encapsulated in
:: quotation marks. Invoke it like this as a hidden command:
:: \usr\ov\bin\echovar.hidden.bat %S %A "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"
::
date /t >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
time /t >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "specific = " %1 >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "agent = " %2 >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "var1 = " %3 >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "var2 = " %4 >> \usr\ovV\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "var3 = " %5 >> \usr\ovV\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "var4 = " %6 >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt
echo "var5 = " %7 >> \usr\ov\log\echo-hidden.txt

:: repeat as needed

Now in Trap Settings for every trap you want logged, edit the Properties and add this as the command to be run every time the trap is received.
\usr\ovV\bin\echovar.hidden.bat %S %A "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"

and mark it as a hidden (background) command.

If you need to add the NetView Drive letter because it is not C:. then do so. If your trap has more variables, then expand the batch file and what you pass it.

Not sophisticated enough for you? Well, this should be enough to get you started. Of course, if you want to call your bat file something else, feel free.
