Can a batch file be written to check status of Wifi adapter? Then as outcome change it to the opposite current setting?

Hi all,
Is it possible to have a batch file check the status (Enabled/Disabled) of a wireless adapter and as an outcome have it change the adapters setting to the opposite of it's current setting?
i.e. If set as ENABLED, it will disable it as an outcome.
If set as DISABLED, it will enable it as an outcome.
Thanks as this would be extremely useful to overcome a recent problem with Windows 7 not recognising my dads laptop FN key (aeroplane mode).

Hi all,
I've managed to program 2 batch files (one enables and the other disables):
ENABLE WIFI =
@echo off
echo Please wait ... enabling wireless adapter ...
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" ENABLE
echo Your wireless network adapter should now be enabled.
timeout/t 10
DISABLE WIFI =
@echo off
echo Please wait ... disabling wireless adapter ...
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" DISABLE
echo Your wireless network adapter should now be disabled.
timeout/t 10
These both work perfectly on my Windows 7 laptop. 8)
HOWEVER ... I'd like to code a single batch file which first checks the connect status of the wireless adapter and then through a IF statement sets the opposite outcome to the current status.
I'm not entirely sure how to code this though. :oops:
I know ... netsh interface show interface name="Wireless Network Connection" ... provides the connection status with "Connect State".
What is the syntax I should use to lookup this connect state value?

Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.

Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.
If I use both pretest questions and graded questions, can I also include remedial with return to quiz for both?

Sorry, but I gave two workarounds: my preference is custom question slides, but you can also have questions slides where you do not add the score to the Total score. They will not be reported to the LMS and can act as Knowledge slides. Only some quizzing system variables can count all question slides, including the Knowledge slides, but the core variables (score, maximum score, percentage) will be correct. Here some links to my blog, that could help you:

That each SCORM module can have only one quiz is a SCORM requirement, not a a Captivate specific feature. Camtasia is bit difficult to compare, it is not a fully blown authoring tool although the best video screen capture tool around (video is non interactive by definition). I don't use Storyline, but cannot imagine that they shouldn't create SCORM-compliant files.

Can't batch files on network from bridge cs4

Started having this problem a few weeks ago, up until then I have always been able to use Bridges Batch command to process images on our file server. Our file server runs Samba, and no user authentication is needed.
If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools > Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
"FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information available>"
But, if I run a batch from Photoshop [File > Automate > Batch] then I can process images on the server fine.
I can use Bridge to batch to Photoshop if those images are on my desktop/local disk.
So the error happens when Bridge tries to tell Photoshop which images to batch, if those files are on the file server. I've tried different files that have been created at different times (years) and from different machines but still the same error.
Not sure what has caused it, maybe an Apple update or something. We've had that issue in the past when Snow Leopard couldn't write to Samba drives because of the UNIX file name thing, but Apple did get around to patching that. Maybe it's Adobe's way of trying to get us to upgrade to CS5..
System Specs:
iMac
OSX 10.6.4
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
4GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HD
Adobe Design Premium CS4
Bridge: 3.0.0.464
Photoshop: 11.0.2

If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools >
Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
"FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be
available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information
available>"
Without knowing anything about working on a network this problem usually is
solved after having refreshed the preferences for Bridge. Have you already
tried that?
Restart Bridge holding down alt key and from the menu choose reset
preferences. This brings them back to default settings so any custom
settings should be reset again to your own wishes.
The 10.6.4. update gave me a lot of problems with CS5 that temporarily have
been solved by disable OpenGL for CS5. This update might have caused also
this problem for you but that is not a certainty...

Can't sync file not written

I bought a movie from itunes and when I synced my phone I got this error message of not being written. I think that is what it said. Unfortunately I unplugged the iphone and tried to sync it again and nothing happened. No pop up message and the movie is still not being downloaded onto my iphone. What can I do to rectify this, please help.

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Can copying a file from a Xsan volume seen thru local sharing then be...

I'm told this and wonder:
The xsan is mounted on computer A. Computer B connects to computer A and copies a file off the Xsan that is visible because computer A is connected to it.
My associate says those files copied this way that were then copied to a DVD and sent to a client are unreadable. Is this possible? Even if the metadata is missing a file (photoshop psd or tif) should still have permissions that allow it to be opened, or not?
thanks
alan

If the permissions were set to some local user on your network and you sent those files on DVD to someone else the local users on that system would still be able to open them (first local user is 501 on every mac). As long as the files weren't encrypted it shouldn't be a problem. In the absolute worst case the local admin account could change or reset the permissions, instead of unknown UID if a strange OD account was the source.

I can't replace 3.16 with 4.0 because i "don't have authority" to change some of the items.

i'm using 3.6.16, i think. i downloaded 4.0 in response to your popup ad.
when i try to replace 3.16 in the applications folder, i'm told i don't have the authority to change some of the items. (if an exact quote is required, get back to me.)
this has happened every time i've tried to do it even though i've trashed version 4.0 and downloaded it fresh.
all this on an imac less than a year old.

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or if you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

I have Creative Suite 4 (amateur) but need to share documents with Indian graphics company and I can't open file properly. I think I need to upgrade to latest version. What is the best and most economical way to do this?

BTW. I am the amateur, not the software.

Hi, I tried to export my document yesterday with page transitions and it has jammed system. I have followed a number of steps as discussed for CS 5, however none of these are working.
Exporting to PDF (Print) results in a hung background task that cannot be cancelled. When I attempt to quit InDesign, you get the message, "InDesign cannot quit because one or more tasks are running in the background."
Can you please help as it has jammed the whole program.

I had no problem with my IPad 3 connecting to my wi-fi but for some reason lately it tell me can not connect to network. I reset both my wifi and my ipad and I still get the same error.

I've had my IPad 3 for awhile and had no problems with it. The other day I went to connect to my wi-fi and it told me could not connect to network. It recognizes my wi-fi but won't connect. I have shut off my wi-fi and still the same problem. Today I reset my ipad back to factory and when I get to the wifi setup I still get unable to join the network. What is wrong

Dont use a password to connect the ipad and try if unable to join happens try another network. After that it is a repair. Now most likely it is the password on router. typically you access your router with http://192.168.1.1/ BUT it may be different if you changed it or your router uses different one.

Can Java execute batch file outside of current JVM in separate process tree

Hi,
Does anyone know how to run programs from Java as separate processes that will not die when the spawning java program exits (JVM exits).
The problem I have with using Runtime.exec is it spawns only child processes under the current running JVM, thus when the origonal program that called Runtime.exec ends so does all child processes.
Basically I want to start a DOS batch file from my Java application, my Java application will then immediately exit (calling System.exit(0) ). The batch program will continue to run, its does some file clean up, create's some new files and deletes the old jar (containing the main app), it then rebuilds the main app jar and and executes the main class and then exits itself.
I've also tried the apache.tomcat.jni.Proc :-
long pool = Pool.create( new Long(0).longValue() );
long pa = Procattr.create( pool );
Procattr.dirSet( pa, "c:\\temp\\updater\\");
Procattr.cmdtypeSet( pa, Proc.APR_SHELLCM );
Procattr.detachSet( pa, 1 );
long proc = Proc.alloc( pool );
Proc.create( proc, "test.bat", new String[]{"test.bat"}, null, pa, pool );
System.exit(0);
The detach option doesn't work, if I take it off then the bat file runs and stops the JVM exiting, if I leave it in the batch file never gets called.
Is this possible in Java. Can java start master process on Windows XP JDK1.5+?
Cheers
Chris.

Well I found the answer elsewhere (java.net) thought I'd post it here for future visitors who might be experience the same problem.
Basically Runtime can do this however it must be done the following way :-
The java:-
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c c:\\test.bat");
        System.out.println("done");
        System.out.println("quitting");
        System.exit(0);
}The batch:-
@echo off
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >nul
java -cp "c:\ " MainThe important line that makes the whole thing work is :-
@echo offIf this line is missing then the whole things locks up (must be the io streams getting used)
Also this code can not be run from an IDE (well at least not from Intellj) as it also locks up.
It must be run from a command prompt or jar.
Also note that any commands in the batch file must have there output redirected to "nul" otherwise Windows kills the cmd as soon as it trys to output to a dead stream (dead because the Java has exited). for example :-
@echo off
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 10000 >nul
cd %1
del /F /Q *.* >nul
move /Y new\*.* >nul
RD /Q /S new >nul
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >nul
java -cp "c:\ " Main
exit

How can i know the location of rmiregistry throught the batch file ????!!!

i would make a batch file that launch my java application wich uses RMIREGISTRY, is there a way to know the path where is located the "rmiregistry file" -if it exists- in the client machine throught the batch file in order to start it befor to launching the application.?

Yes, ask the person who was responsible for making the RMI registry run.

How do I make a batch file if the .class file uses a foreign package?

I am trying to make an MS-DOS batch file using the bytecode file from the Java source file, called AddFields.java. This program uses the package BreezySwing; which is not standard with the JDK. I had to download it seperately. I will come back to this batch file later.
But first, in order to prove the concept, I created a Java file called Soap.java in JCreator. It is a very simple GUI program that uses the javax.swing package; which does come with the JDK. The JDK is currently stored in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07. I have the PATH environment variable set to the 'bin' folder of the JDK. I believe that it is important that this variable stay this way because C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin is where the file 'java.exe' and 'javac.exe' are stored. Here is my batch file so far for Soap:
@echo off
cd \acorn
set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
set classpath=.
java Soap
pause
Before I ran this file, I compiled Soap.java in my IDE and then ran it successfully. Then I moved the .class file to the directory C:\acorn. I put NOTHING ELSE in this folder. then I told the computer where to find the file 'java.exe' which I know is needed for execution of the .class file. I put the above text in Notepad and then saved it as Soap.bat onto my desktop. When I double click on it, the command prompt comes up in a little green box for a few seconds, and then the GUI opens and says "It Works!". Now that I know the concept of batch files, I tried creating another one that used the BreezySwing package.
After I installed my JDK, I installed BreezySwing and TerminalIO which are two foreign packages that make building code much easier. I downloaded the .zip file from Lambert and Osborne called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO.zip. I extracted the files to the 'bin' folder of my JDK. Once I did this, and set the PATH environment variable to the 'bin' folder of my JDK, all BreezySwing and TerminalIO programs that I made worked. Now I wanted to make a batch file from the program AddFields.java. It is a GUI program that imports two packages, the traditional GUI javax.swing package and the foreign package BreezySwing. The user enters two numbers in two DoubleField objects and then selects one of four buttons; one for each arithmetic operation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide). Then the program displays the solution in a third DoubleField object. This program both compiles and runs successfully in JCreator. So, next I moved the .class file from the MyProjects folder that JCreator uses to C:\acorn. I put nothing else in this folder. The file Soap.class was still in there, but I did not think it would matter. Then I created the batch file:
@echo off
cd \acorn
set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
set classpath=.
java AddFields
pause
As you can see, it is exactly the same as the one for Soap. I made this file in Notepad and called it AddFields.bat. Upon double clicking on the file, I got this error message from command prompt:

Press any key to continue . . .
I know that most of this makes no sense; but that it only means that it cannot find the class BreezySwing or GBFrame (which AddFields extends). Notice, however that it does not give an error for javax.swing. If I change the "set path..." command to anything other than the 'bin' folder of my JDK, I get this error:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .
I know this means that the computer cannot find the file 'java.exe' which I believe holds all of the java.x.y.z style packages (native packages); but not BreezySwing or any other foreign packages. Remember, I do not get this error for any of the native Java packages. I decided to compare the java.x.y.z packages with BreezySwing:
I see that all of the native packages are not actually visible in the JDK's bin folder. I think that they are all stored in one of the .exe files in there because there are no .class files in the JDK's bin folder.
However, BreezySwing is different, there is no such file called "BreezySwing.exe"; there are just about 20 .class files all with names like "GBFrame.class", and "GBActionListener.class". As a last effort, I moved all of these .class files directly into the bin folder (they were originally in a seperate folder called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO). This did nothing; even with all of the files in the same folder as java.exe.
So my question is: What do I need to do to get the BreezySwing package recognized on my computer? Is there possibly a download for a file called "BreezySwing.exe" somewhere that would be similar to "java.exe" and contain all of the BreezySwing packages?

There is a lot of detail in your posts. I won't properly quote everything you put (too laborious). Instead I'll just put your words inside quotes (").
"..there are some things about the interface that I do not like."
Like +what?+ This is not a help desk, and I would appreciate you participating in this discussion by providing details of what it is about the 'interface' of webstart that you 'do not like'. They are probably misunderstandings on your part.
"Some of the .jar files I made were so dangerously corrupt, that I had to restart my computer before I could delete them."
Corrupt?! I have never once had the Java tools produce a corrupt Jar. OTOH, the 'cannot delete' problem might relate to the JRE gaining a file lock on the archive at run-time. If the file lock persisted after ending the app., it suggests that the JRE was not properly shut down. This is a bug in the code and should be fixed. Deploying as .class files will only 'hide' the problem (from casual inspection - though the Task Manager should show the orphaned 'java' process).
"I then turned to batch files for their simple structure and portability (I managed to successfully transport a java.util containing batch file from my computer to another). This was what I did:
- I created a folder called Task
- Then I copied three things into this folder: 1. The file "java.exe" from my JDK. 2. The program's .class file (Count.class). and 3. The original batch file.
- Then I moved the folder from a removable disk to the second computer's C drive (C:\Task).
- Last, I changed the code in the batch file...:"
That is the +funniest+ thing I've heard on the forums in the last 72 hours. You say that is easy?! Some points.
- editing batch files is not scalable to 100+ machines, let alone 10000+.
- The fact that Java worked on the target machine was because it was +already installed.+ Dragging the 'java.exe' onto a Windows PC which has no Java will not magically make it 'Java enabled'.
And speaking of Java on the client machine. Webstart has in-built mechanisms to ensure that the end user has the minimum required Java version to run the app. - we can also use the [deployJava.js|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html#deplToolkit] on the original web page, to check for minimum Java before it puts the link to download/install the app. - if the user does not have the required Java, the script should guide them through installing it.
Those nice features in deployJava.js are available to applets and apps. launched using webstart, but they are not available for (plain) Jar's or loose class files. So if 'ensuring the user has Java' is one of the requirements for your launch, you are barking up the wrong tree by deploying loose class files.
Note also that if you abandon webstart, but have your app. set up to work from a Jar, the installation process would be similar to above (though it would not need a .bat file, or editing it). This basic strategy is one way that I provide [Appleteer (as a downloadable ZIP archive)|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#download]. Though I side-step your part 1 by putting the stuff into a Jar with the path Appleteer/ - when the user expands the ZIP, the parts of the app. are already in the Appleteer directory.
Appleteer is also provided as a webstart launched application (and as an applet). Either of those are 'easier' to use than the downloadable ZIP, but I thought I would provide it in case the end user wants to save it to disk and transport the app. to a machine with no internet connection, but with Java (why they would be testing applets on a PC with no internet connection, I am not sure - but the option is there).
"I know that .jar and .exe files are out because I always get errors and I do not like their interfaces. "
What on earth are you talking about? Once the app. is on-screen, the end user would not be able to distinguish between
1) A Jar launched using a manifest.
2) A Jar launched using webstart.
3) Loose class files.
Your fixation on .bat files sounds much like the adage that 'If the only tool you have is a hammer, every job starts to look like a nail'.
Get over them, will you? +Using .bat files is not a practical way to provide a Java app. to the end user+ (and launching an app. from a .bat looks quite crappy and 'second hand' to +this+ user).
Edit 1:
The instructions for running Appleteer as a Jar are further up the page, in the [Running Appleteer: Application|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#application] section.

Why do I get error -17500 when calling a batch file using the call executable step type?

I am calling a batch file using the call executable step type. If the path to the batch file contains a space I get error -17500 and a message stating there was an error in "Post". For example the path to the batch file is "c:\TestWin\Test Files\...\Program.bat" When I run this I get the above mentioned error, however if I change my directory structure so the path is now "c:\TestWin\TestFiles\...\Program.bat" it runs fine. I use the browse feature to find my batch file so it is not me typing in a path incorrectly. I have removed the batch file and I get a different error stating that it couldn't find the file so it appears that for my error it can find the file but can't run it. I am
sure that this has something to do with the fact that batch files are written in DOS but really don't want to resort to changing my directory structure on all my test stations. Is there any way to fix this problem so I can leave a space in my path?

It appears I have figured it out. This was on another computer so I was unaware of how they used their computer. I like you got it to work in the temp directory and in fact got the program.bat file to work as long as I put it under the temp directory, but when I switched out to my TestWin directory it wouldn't work, so I removed everything from the directory except the batch file it self and it work. What I found out after adding files in one at a time is that the person had a file called "Test" with no file extension in there "c:\TestWin\" directory. Removing this file made it work. Putting the file back broke it. So it appeares that when teststand was running it followed the path saw a space and attempted to grab the "Test" file instead of bro
wsing into the "Test Files" directory. If you create a file in your temp directory called "temp" with no file extension you will see the same problem. Thank you for your help.

Calling Batch files in PLSQL Procedure

Hi all,
I am working on a PLSQL procedure and having issues when I am trying to call a batch file.
Issue:-
I have a procedure which have to kick off a batch file. And that batch file needs to run in Windows not in Unix box.
Can someone please help me out in providing some samples or anything?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you rp0428 and sb92075,
I have tried to create a sample of what I am trying to get and so I have created the following code in a batch file and named as Check.bat:-
@set a=3
@set b=4
@set /a c=%a%+%b%
echo %c%
So based on those links you guys provided I have created an
Scheduler Job:-
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (job_name        => 'MYJOB1',
                           job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE', JOB_ACTION      => 'c:\Check.bat', enabled         => TRUE,comments        => 'runs Check.bat' );
END;
And the following Procedure :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE execute_bat_file
IS
BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB ('MYJOB1', TRUE);
END execute_bat_file;
And used the following exec command:-
exec execute_bat_file;
I am getting the following error:-
Error starting at line 1 in command:
exec execute_bat_file
Error report:

ORA-06512: at line 1
27475. 00000 - "\"%s.%s\" must be a %s"
*Cause:    An object of the wrong type was specified. For example, a table
           could have been passed to the drop_job() procedure.
*Action:   Reissue a different command applicable to this object type or
           reissue the same command using an object of the valid type.
Can you guys please help with this?
Thank you once again

Can a batch file be written to check status of Wifi adapter? Then as outcome change it to the opposite current setting?
