Richard,
I would suggest you change your button configuration. Using the send_to_dm
command results in a IPC message being sent to FoxView (or Display Manager)
to silence the horns. This may have been needed in the very distant past but
is not any longer. There has been an AM built in command, silence_horns, at
least since 1995.
Your button should be configured as:
ackalm
silence_horns
Regards,
Kathy

Why don't you configure the alarm manager button to silence the horn as =
well as acknowledge them (one action) to encourage the operators to do =
both at the same time? In our case every display has a page acknowledge =
button that does a page ack and silence horn, so the silence button on =
the annunciator rarely gets used.
E.G. In the alarm manager configuration for the ACK ALARM button =
something like...
ackalm
send_to_dm -dm $DMNAME dmcmd horns 238 4
Use ackpage instead of ackalm, for the ACK PAGE button.

Alex:
Your notes are, as always, right.=20
In our case, we need to disable the horn button because operators
are very used to silence without acknowleging incoming alarms, to the =
point
to have those button in very bad state. We want to force operator to =
always
acknowledge them, is it possible?
