Powershell equivalent of DOS %~dp0 command

Hello Folks!
Does anyone know of a way to output the directory path of the powershell file being executed is located? I'm using SCCM to install applications via a script which means the source files (inlcuding the script) will be ran from multiple distribution
points and I don't want to point to one particular server's source files.
In Dos or Batch scripts this is done by %~dp0filename.msi. Is there a way to do this via Powershell?
Thanks in adavance!!

If you're using PowerShell version 3.0 or later, this is in an automatic variable called $PSScriptRoot.
In PowerShell 2.0, that variable didn't exist, but you could get at the same information through $MyInvocation. For example:
$scriptRoot = Split-Path -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

B Installing 9 brings up DOS SETUP command window then fails

Installing 9 starts and then a DOS SETUP command box appears, asking to insert Disk 1 DOS Install floppy in drive a: It then fails to do the 9 install, no matter what I do. It simply fails ! I tried installing in SAFE MODE, but still does the same thing. Cannot get any help on this from several XP forums, or from Microsoft. Any ideas ?

Errol, you've asked this question several times without getting a
response - presumably because nobody can fathom your setup.
If the PATH command in your boot sequence points to a directory
containing a 'setup.exe', it looks like the installer picks that one
instead of the right one. Try temporarily renaming the wrong
setup.exe or modifying PATH to force the installer to look in the
right place.

Executing dos TYPE command Failure

I am trying to execute the dos TYPE command from within Java. But I would like the output to go to a file, not to the screen. The following program sends the output to the screen, but not to the specified file. Why?
It does actually create the file I want but it is empty.
import java.io.*;
class ExecuteCommand
     public static void main(String[] a) throws IOException
     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rt.exec("cmd /c start type d:\\java\\billing\\test66.java>d:\\java\\billing\\outputFile.txt");
Many thanks
Akz

Try this:
Process p = rt.exec(new String {} { "cmd","/c","start","type" ,"d:\\java\\billing\\test66.java", ">d:\\java\\billing\\outputFile.txt" } );

Reproduce DOS 'tree' command to a real directory structure

Hi guys,
I have the output of a DOS 'tree' command (small example below). And I'm trying to reproduce the output of this command (directories and files) as another directory structure, I've tried several different things with no real luck. My biggest problem is that I'm unable to get the logic down to correctly nest directories. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to give me any code examples to help me out, it's a long shot as what I'm doing is pretty abstract, but any advice or code would be a great help.
Thanks, aqzman

You need to read the group of directories and files in a recursive manner. If what you read is a directory, create that as a new directory where you are creating the new entries. If you read a file, then copy that file to the new directory you created.
To get more information on recursive programming, use Google to search for explanations and examples.
This tutorial has explanations and examples of reading directory entries and files, and creating directories and copying files.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html]
Also read the File class API, as you will use the methods it provides.

Exchange Powershell return value from Get-command to variable.

Hi
I am trying to create a powershell-script for our monitoring-software.
The script is supposed to establish a connection to our exchange-server mgmt-shell and execute this command:
"Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus"
I have the connection in place, but am missing the knowledge of how to return the result of the command to my script, which I can then pass to our monitoring-software.
(The script take 2 parameters - host and command eg. exch01.domain and Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus).
Current code:
$statusAlive = "ScriptRes:Host is alive:"
$statusDead = "ScriptRes:No answer:"
$statusUnknown = "ScriptRes:Unknown:"
$statusNotResolved = "ScriptRes:Unknown host:"
$statusOk = "ScriptRes:Ok:"
$statusBad = "ScriptRes:Bad:"
$statusBadContents = "ScriptRes:Bad contents:"
$pass = cat C:\securestring.txt | convertto-securestring
$Cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist "domain\administrator",$pass
$host = $args[0]
$command = $args[1]
<#
if (!$args[0]) {
echo $statusUnknown"Host parameter is empty"
exit
if (!$args[1]) {
echo $statusUnknown"Command parameter is empty"
exit
#>
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$host/powershell -Credential $cred
Import-PSSession $session
$command
Remove-PSSession $session
Now, how do I "catch" the value of the executed command and return it to a variable in the script?
Best Regards,
Soren

Hmm.. doesnt seem to work quite right.
I added "Echo $result" after "Remove-PSSession $session", but then I just get a bunch of information..

I am only interested in the 2 "ContentIndexState" - how can I pick these 2 out and put them into a variable?
I though the command "Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus" would only display these two, since it is what happens if I run the command inside PowerShell on the server itself.

Is it possible to run all Dos based command on Java ?

hello friends
I run Dos Commands on Java by following code
try{
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c","dir"});
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
System.out.println("bye");
If I run "mkdir" instead of "dir" folder is created in current directory. But in case of "dir" listing of file folders is not displayed to me . means "dir " is not running.
could any body tell me what to do in this case
thanks

'dir' is not an executable program. It is built-in to the command shell. The only way you can execute it is by feeding it to a shell via a batch file.Sorry 'ejp' but 'dir' can be run this way (I have just checked on XP) so there has to be something wrong with the way the OP is processing the results. Since he does not seem to process stdout or stderr and he does not wait for the process to complete I am betting he is falling foul of one or more of the traps. My best bet is that he is expecting a console window to open and the directory listing to appear in it.

Issue with variables and white space in powershell script that calls a command line command

Guys,
I have a question regarding this script. Each time I run it, it creates the share, but with a space after it. Also I need help figuring out how to put in the variable for the folder path.
Below is the code
$Users=Import-Csv C:\users2.csv
foreach($User in $Users){
$User.SNCORP
$User.HPB
$User
cmd /c "net share "$User.SNCORP"=D:\Users\"$User.HPB" /grant:Everyone,FULL"
The csv file looks like this
HPB,SNCORP
ccarter,carterch$
This is my output in powershell
PS C:\> .\shareflip.ps1
carterch$
ccarter
HPB SNCORP
ccarter carterch$
The syntax of this command is:
NET SHARE
sharename
sharename=drive:path [/GRANT:user,[READ | CHANGE | FULL]]
[/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
[/REMARK:"text"]
[/CACHE:Manual | Documents| Programs | BranchCache | None]
sharename [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
[/REMARK:"text"]
[/CACHE:Manual | Documents | Programs | BranchCache | None]
{sharename | devicename | drive:path} /DELETE
sharename \\computername /DELETE
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Christopher

There is no need to use cmd /c. You should be able to use:
net share "$($User.SNCORP)=D:\Users\$($User.HPB)" "/grant:Everyone,Full"
Use showargs.exe (from the article) at the beginning of this line to see the command line PowerShell is actually running (very useful for troubleshooting).

Is there an enhanced equivalent of crs_stat -t command in 11.2 ?

In 10gR2, we used

Thank you Rajesh. Do you set anything in putty (like increasing the row width) to make it more readable.
The output look a bit messed up

Report script command equivalent for @relative calculation command

HI ,
We have a calculation script which has a fix statement like below :
FIX( Grade, "w/o LO", "Line Options", AtLaunch, @DESCENDANTS("470.92"), @DESCENDANTS("Price Item"), @RELATIVE("Total Region", 0) )
We are trying to make a reportscript which gives us the format of the set of database being calculated.
So we are tranforming the above calc script commands into equivalent report script commands. We are struck with the @Relative command.
Can somebody tell us what is the equivalent report script command for @Relative calculation script function.
Regards
OKU

There's no direct analogue, but you can use the <LINK command along with <DESCENDANTS and <LEV to get pretty close. See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/rwriter/link.htm
JExport (if pre 9.3) or DATAEXPORT (if 9.3 or greater) may also be options and will in fact allow @RELATIVE to be used.

Opening PDF link through DOS start command

Our software manager is asking if we can use a simple DOS command (embedded in a browser-like xaml interface) to open a PDF file to a hypertext link brought over from a FrameMaker source doc.
I know that I can open a.pdf with DOS command "start a.pdf", but I am unsure (and cannot find) the syntax that I need to tell DOS to open the PDF to the "test1" hypertext link on page 3 of the PDF.
Thanks for any help.
best,
Paul

Check the "Parameters for Openinig PDF Files" document at <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf">http://www.adob e.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf</a>. It says: When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax: <Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>" For example: Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf" Use the page or destination parameter (if you add destinations to the PDF). I tried it with the page parameter and it worked. --GMc

Lldb equivalent of gdb "directory" command for specifying source search path?

Looking for the lldb equivalent of the gdb "directory" command to add search paths for finding missing source code files (due to moved directories). Or possibly similar functionality within xcode...
Thanks in advance!

Great, thanks for the pointer although according to the lldb console the "add" command needs a "substitution pair" argument and the "Insert" command needs a new "image search path" and the "target modules list" command only gives a list of dylib modules. I played around a bit and the construction resembles more of a dylib module search path .i.e it looks like you only can revert the module search path but not separate it from the source path.
It would be nice to find out more details about different search-path capabilities within lldb. You don't happen to know where to find more thorough LLDB manuals or other useful documentation besides the "LLDB to GDB Command Map" (http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html) and the "LLDB Tutorial" (lldb.llvm.org/tutorial.html), do you? Also, any idea where to find the official doc pages for lldb. Unfortunately "http://lldb.llvm.org/docs.html" is still empty and I didn't find anything useful in the llvm github.
