Command line package management

Hi,
I'm a 6 year die-hard Gentoo user setting up some big production Oracle boxes.
The RHEL package management thing (system-config-packages) is both simply rubbish, and requires GTK.
Is there something better than fighting directly with RPM?
Previously we used SLES to run Oracle on, and that was bearable as the ncurses interface to their tools was mildly helpful/useful (you could search !).
Right now, I want to install the multilib packages for the packages I have installed (*not* every-bloody-one), so that some 32bit code can be run (8i mostly).
Thanks

Is there something better than fighting directlywith RPM?
What varsion of RHEL are you using? On latest
versions there is "yum" which is 100% pure command
line (no ncurses).Duh, sorry, Oracles own "Enterprise Linux".
yum is there, but it's missing urlgrabber, something Oracle don't supply on their media apparently, clever.
Don't suppose someone has an RPM for urlgrabber I can, uhh, grab?
Oh how I pine for Gentoo, and I've only been using Enterprise for half a day :/ I'd have been done ages ago.

Rpass - Secure, simple, and pluggable command-line password management

WARNING: this program requires a python version greater than or equal to 3.
EDIT: Fixed a bunch of bugs that made this unusable, please update!
EDIT: Added a default configuration file.
Hi there!
rpass is a command-line password manager that encrypts any and all credentials you would like to store using gpg's algorithms.
Gnome and Mac OS both have a universal credential solution, but to my knowledge there is no such generic linux application. Gnome's keyring code is long and personally, I don't trust it as much as the simple system I have in place in rpass - it is transparent and easy to understand, and any possible security holes would be blatantly visible.
rpass can be used directly from the commandline, typing your master password (gpg passphrase) in every time, but it really shines when gpg-agent and xclip are installed. gpg-agent saves your passphrase for an interval of time, so you only have to authenticate yourself occaisonally, and the powerful search capabilities of rpass (regex-enabled) allow simple and quick account selection.
Furthermore, with xclip installed passwords NEVER have to be printed onscreen - the first matching entry's password is automatically copied to the clipboard if a search is done with rpass. You can even run rpass from applications like 'dmenu', and although there will be no visible output, if you enter a search term after rpass you will have the password you wanted copied to your clipboard.
Finally, it can also be easily integrated in other applications -- I use it for my email (mutt) and any script I write that requires a password.
AUR Link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44788
More detailed documentation and explanation can be found at: https://github.com/rscare/rpass/blob/ma … E.asciidoc (scroll down)
or with
$ man rpass
after installation.
git repository: git://github.com/rscare/rpass.git
Please comment on the software and the documentation. Thank you very much for taking the time to try my software.

I'm very interested in this. However... on the initial run, pressing enter causes a crash:
$ rpass
Need to first create gpg key pair.
Choose a secure passphrase -- this is going to be your master password.
Rerun program after key creation.
WARNING: DO NOT pick a sign-only key type.
Press [ENTER] when ready.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rpass_py_interface", line 80, in <module>
input("Press [ENTER] when ready.")
File "<string>", line 0
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
I got around this by entering junk and I made my key. After rerunning rpass with the key generated:
$ rpass
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rpass_py_interface", line 84, in <module>
if not(IsRunning(gpg-agent)):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpass.py", line 24, in IsRunning
plist = [re.match(ppatt, p.strip()).groups()[0] for p in str(proc.communicate()[0], encoding=utf-8).split(n)[1:-1]]
TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)
Looks like rpass expects the gpg-agent to be running when it starts.
edit: rather, it expects the gpg-agent to be running with the key loaded. gpg-agent was already loaded thanks to keychain but without my newly created key known to it.

Command line package problem

Am using this exercise to create packages:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/interpack/QandE/packages-answers.html
I'm on Unix Solaris and have created /home/me/mygame directory as instructed. Then three subdirectories with their files:
mygame/client/Client.java
mygame/server/Server.java
mygame/shared/Utilities.java
Using their source code for each .java file, I sit in mygame directory and compile with
javac shared/Utilities.java
which works to produce Utilities.class
But after that my compiles don't work. Two examples:
javac -classpath . server/Server.java
javac -classpath . client/Client.java
returns in second case:
client/Client.java:5: Class mygame.shared.Utilities not found in import.
import mygame.shared.Utilities;
1 error
prompt% head client/Client.java
package mygame.client;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import mygame.shared.Utilities;
public class Client extends Thread {
Socket clientSocket = null;
public Client(Socket s) {
Can you help? I'd really like to work in packages from the command line.
By the way, the IDE JDeveloper 9i doesn't have any problem with packages, as you'd expect.
More info:
The error meaning it looked but it couldn't find Class mygame.shared.Utilities, I'm sure.
java -version

Why don't you try everything from the directory above mygame?
You'll have to adjust your commands accordingly, but I think your problems may go away.

Errors when packaging extension via Extension Manager Command Line

Hi all,
I am attempting to package an Adobe Fireworks extension via the CS6 Extension Manager command line tool:
/Applications/Adobe\ Extension\ Manager\ CS6/Adobe\ Extension\ Manager\ CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Extension\ Manager\ CS6 -suppress -package product="Fireworks CS6" mxi="name.mxi" mxp="name.mxp"
I get the following error:
error: +++ Assert in file /export/home/coretech/source/daily/extendscript/scriptobjects/build/xcode24/../../source/ bridgetalk/source/SoBridgeTalk.cpp, line 117
+++ BridgeTalk::InitTerm::exit() has already been called.
Debugger() was called!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Best,
Dmitriy

1. There is no "product" attribute in package command. Please remove it.
2. Why do you still package mxp? MXP has some limitations and is no longer supported in Extension Manager CC. You should package ZXP instead.
3. Extension Manager CS6 can't sign extension during package. We have a new free product called Adobe Exchange Packager which can package and sign extensions. You can sign in http://www.adobeexchange.com/ and go to Resources page to download it. The current version in this page can't package extension based on existing mxi file. The latest version meets your requirement and will be available in a couple of days.

Using process manager to get command line of a running application

hello,
i'm currently using the process manager framework to get a list of current running processes on the machine. i would like to get the command line to display to the user. i can see how to get the path to the executable file. i.e. /Applications/AppRunning however i'd like to get the full command line and im either missing it from the documentation or not seeing the links to get that information. so i want to get /Applications/AppRunning -c someoption -f another option. can anyone recommend a function to assist me or if im using the wrong API to get the information i am looking for can someone recommend the correct API?
thank you very much.

thank you very much. you have been more then informative about this. i'll have to check out the kernel queues and events api you mentioned. i've never really digged this far into a unix style OS before. it's pretty interesting. it seems like EVFILT_PROC is what i want to get process starts/stops.
I've never done this either, so I'm quite sure I'm missing some big things here. Some other things that might be handy are dtrace and ptrace. I strongly suspect that there is some really easy way to do it that I don't know about. You might try searching on the Apple developer mailing lists.
at the end of the day though i still need to be able to retrieve the command line of a running executable. 'ps' can do it so i'm assuming there is a programatic way of doing it. is the mac 'ps' command source code online anywhere that i can see what it's doing?
I don't know about ps. There are a number of Mac applications that do things similar to what you propose. Marcopolo is open-source and can detect when applications are launched.
i have looked at the linux procps package however it relies on the procfs which mac does not have.
Amit Singh wrote a MacFUSE-based procfs for the Mac. You can look at the source code to that, but, to quote Amit "the MacFUSE version of procfs makes heavy use of the Mach programming interfaces". Good luck with that. Still, there might be some helpful information in that link.

Help packaging an android apk through command line

Hello everyone. I've recently developed an app that is near the release deadline and I've ran into the problem of low resolutions icons. All of the troubleshooting I've done has claimed I'll need to manually package the app through the command line to do this. I have never done this before so I'm having some trouble.
I've downloaded all of the required files I believe and have reached the correct bin folder, I'm completely clueless as to what syntax I need to type in from this point though. I've gotten as far as "adt -package" which then outputs that I'm missing additional information, but as I said, I haven't used command promt much and I have no idea how to format the rest of the information I need to put in or how to attach my current app.xml file to it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind everyone. After a lot more time spent researching I've managed to piece together how to do it and actually understand it as well.

Hi,
Here is the command to package android apk through command line;
<adt-path> -package -target <target-option e.g. apk, apk-debug etc> -storetype pkcs12 -keystore <your certificate> -storepass <password> name.apk app.xml name.swf assets
Please run adt -help on terminal or cmd if you need any help regarding targets or packaging command. adt is available at you sdk/bin/adt folder.
Also, you can see the page http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html for more details.
Hope this will help.

Need change something? Seperate configuaration file required ?

Hi Dinesh,
Based on my research, the issue is caused by you are running a SSIS package with a connection manager that has a space-character in the connection name.
To work around this issue, please refer to the following two suggestions:
Rename the connection manager in THE package to not include certain special characters (spaces, dashes). Note that the connection manager name can be changed without having to edit any property of the connection string itself.
Escape quote the connection name, such that
/CONNECTION "server.conn 1";"..."
becomes
/CONNECTION "\"server.conn 1\"";"..."
The following similar issue is for your reference:

Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line

Hi All,
I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What is going wrong?
Please help!

I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

SQL 2012 SSIS package runs from the command line (dtexec.exe) and completes right away ...

How to search in a pdf package via command line

How can I search a specific PDF file within a PDF package via the command line? Previously I have used the following code in VB6 to search a single PDF file successfully.
acroPath = String(128, " ") 'initialise this string
resultStatus = FindExecutable(pdfPath, vbNullString, acroPath)
acroPath = Replace(acroPath, vbNullChar, "") 'Get rid of the null character
acroPath = """" & Trim$(acroPath) & """"
cmdLineString = acroPath & " /n /A ""search=" & searchString & """ " & pdfPath
Call Shell(cmdLineString, vbNormalFocus)
I now receive this file as part of a PDF package, so how can I amend the command line to search the specific file within the package?
I only have Reader, not the full blown Acrobat version.
Vas.

Sorry forgot to say that I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1 on Win XP SP2

Running a Command Line via a Package

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the following command line via a package to my servers but for some reason the results are as expected. The command I am trying to run is:
reg add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.mydomain.local"
When I look in the log files on the server the command is being executed as:
<![LOG[Command line = "C:\Windows\system32\reg.exe" add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.mydomain.local",
Working Directory = C:\Windows\system32\]LOG]!><time="12:44:32.391+00" date="02-24-2014" component="execmgr" context="" type="1" thread="3976" file="scriptexecution.cpp:346">
Why is this is not working? If I run the command manually on the server, it works and reg key is updated correctly.
PS: I am probably being really stupid here but any help is appreciated.
Thank You
Mayur

Hi,
Just looking at the logs file, I see this:
<![LOG[Running "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /c "C:\windows\system32\reg.exe add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.osmanage.local" with 32bitLauncher]LOG]!><time="13:06:32.677+00"
date="02-24-2014" component="execmgr" context="" type="1" thread="4024" file="scriptexecution.cpp:364">
It is launching it with 32bit launcher. So is this still a problem with 64bit redirection?
The thing is before trying this reg fix I tried several times to run command: slmgr.vbs /skms servername.local via a packag which executed successfully but again the KMS server wasn't updated. So something tells me this is a different problem?

How to assign the default service package to the user in the command line ?

when i create use use the following command ,which service package is assigned to the user ,or in where can i set the default service package ,thanks for you!

When I create a user via command-line, I get no service package. I don't see any way to assign such on creation via command-line.
Some of what might be in a service package can be set as default falues, through configutil.
quota is this kind of thing.

Picture Manager with command line for Bat files

Hello
I am wondering if Microsoft Picture manager has any command line switches i could use.
I resize thousands of photos weekly using Picture manager for a semi automated process. The resize is the part that is not automated. For some reason when using image magik the resize is done but it does not accept some images where i upload them, yet if
i do it in parallel with Office picture manager the Microsoft re-sized always work.
The process uses VB Access, downloads all images changes the extension from one card extensions to jpg and ammends the name. sorts the images to two folders.
Then i resize as a batch manually. Not difficult but needs hands on and have you tried changing the dimensions in picture manager when all are selected. tedious!
Then the final bat uploads to correct locations.
So my question, how to use command line with Microsoft picture manager. If not command line Powershell. I can not beleive that the program can not be opened specifying a folder and resize image dimension to use. I cant see the source code where i believe
it would be apparent to me how to do so.
Thank you
Sometimes the answer is so blindingly obvious i fail to see!

I have done it before on BOXI R2 with the IW, and it works fine
But any how, this is the way that we have to work with, since it is part of a customer product and the link universe and it's reports is an additional part of the product.
So is there a way that I can pull just the main universe and it's reports?
