Alias Action
You can assign one or more alias actions to an alias that will be executed when the alias becomes active in a decoded message. Each message type can produce one or more aliases against any of the identifiers in the message that can be associated with an alias.
Interval
Interval defines when and how often the action will occur.
Once - the action will only occur once when the alias is first active for the duration that sdrtrunk is running.
Once, Reset After Delay - the action will occur when the alias is first active, but will suppress any further actions for a specified number of seconds. Once the delay period has elapsed, this action will again alert in the future if the alias is active.
Until Dismissed - the action will occur when the alias is first noted active and will continue to occur every specified number of seconds. A dialog window with an OK button will pop up and the action will repeat until the user clicks the OK button. The action will reset 15 seconds after the OK button is pressed and will alert again in the future if the alias is active.
Period
Specifies the time period in seconds for the two interval options that require a time period setting.

The script action allows you to select a script, batch file, or program to execute when the action occurs. Select the program from the File button and use the Test button to test the script to ensure that the script operates correctly.
