Command line usage

Apologies if this has been asked before: If I launch firefox from the command line with a url to render, is there a way to get the output redirected to a file? Can you show an example?

Sounds odd, can you post some code exhibiting this behavior?

Servertool command line usage problem

I'm trying to use the servertool in 1.4 /solaris2.6 from the command line eg:
servertool -ORBInitialPort <port> list
which should(I would have thought) started servertool, listed the servers and returned.
Instead if displays the servertool command line prompt.
what is going on? thanks
PS: i've previously started orbd on with -ORBInitialPort <port>

Hi,
actually it's not a real bug. I would say it's documentation inaccuracy. The right syntax is:
servertool -ORBInitialPort <port> -cmd <command>
Try
servertool -ORBInitialPort <port> -cmd help <command>
for detailed help.

Latest DNG converter not working in command-line mode

Today I downloaded Adobe's latest DNG converter. It is failing with both .NEF and .CR2 files when run in command-line mode. It does appear to work in GUI mode. The switches+arguments I've used for my tests are:
-u -e -p1 filename.CR2
(or filename.NEF)
With an older (CS2) version of the converter, the above arguments produce a .DNG output file as expected (with .CR2 files; I didn't try it with D3 .NEF files; surely that older version doesn't support the D3's format).
With the very latest version, running the program with the above command produces no output. There's no error message.
The 'readme' file that comes with the converter doesn't include any information about command-line usage, but I did find a PDF file covering this (adobe.com/products/dng/pdfs/dng_commandline.pdf). The switches+arguments shown in the PDF file appear to be exactly the ones I used in the past.
I'm sure I'll need to use the most recent version to convert D3 RAW files. Is there something wrong with how I'm specifying its command-line switches/arguments?

It struck me silly that I've been running tests with v.3.3 when 5.2 is the latest, so I downloaded it. The setup "wizard"...hmm, why is it a "wizard"? It provides no choice of installation path. I didn't realize this because immediately after I'd launched it, I knocked something onto the floor, reached down to pick it up ... and looked back up just in time to see the "wizard" complete the installation...but where, I didn't know. It didn't display any information about where it had installed the app. Adventures In Discoverability. :) I hunted around on the hard drive until I found it (C:\Program Files\Adobe -- well, at least you can launch it if you think to look for it in the 'Start' menu). So ... that needs a bit of work. Anyway, I copied the app into a directory of my choice -- one that's in my system's %PATH%, replacing spaces in the name with underscores. It works fine in that directory -- no problem with the name-change as far as I can tell. Now back to the fun stuff...
This version doesn't seem to require a fully qualified path to the input file or to the output directory when "-d" is used. That's an improvement. IOW, this worked:
converter -p1 -d DNG filename
where "converter" is the program's name, "DNG" is the name of a subdirectory of the directory where I'm running the test, and "filename" is the name of a RAW file in that directory.
The program still doesn't know how to create a directory (or ask about creating one if it doesn't exist). Fails silently if "-d" is used and the specified directory doesn't exist. But at least this version returns an exit code of 1 due to the failure -- better than returning 0.
Still doesn't understand wildcards. Hope done sprang eternal there for a moment, but oh well. Back to "for" loops...
Still fails silently, returning exit code 0 (oops), if a nonsensical command-line is used (e.g., using "-c" as the only argument).
Hey, how about a truly silly command-line error -- a command line including both "-c" and "-u". What happens? It "consumes" the first of the two mutually exclusive switches, ignoring the second -- you get a compressed DNG file. Swap the order of the switches, and you get an uncompressed file. (I'd vote for a syntax-error message in that case, m'self.)
Interestingly strange little program...If I run it from the command line, it drops back to the command line immediately after I press ENTER. That makes it appear to have failed. But it hasn't -- it's running in the background, and a few seconds later the DNG file is created. But, if I run it from within a batch file, it does NOT return control to me until it has completed writing the output file. Wonder what's up with that.
Fun stuff. :)

How to trap Command Line errors

Sigh. I have searched for 3 hours to the answer for my question. I'm new to scripting, so perhaps this is the problem in my not finding a solution.
In a nutshell, I simply want to gracefully trap command line usage of a script. I want to have my script accept a parameter (ie. a value) and a switch.
Example: <script> -path <path> -set
The problem is that i cannot trap incorrect usage. I would prefer <path> to be position one, and -switch to be position 2 of the parameters passed to the script. I have not tried this "outside" of PS v2.0 ISE (ie. Powershell.exe).
Of course, I would love it to work in both environments.
I KNOW that the ISE will prompt for missing mandatory parameters. Great. But incorrectly specified parameters causes Powershell ISE to "bomb-out". That is, displaying error messages to an uninformed user whom views it as unintelligible.
Example of incorrect usage: <script> -pat <path> -set
Again, I would LOVE to trap this, and display correct USAGE to the screen. Unfortunately, this produces a Powershell error message which has proved unintelligible to "simple" users.
Perhaps I must accept that this is not possible in Powershell v2.0. I simply want to program my script to CATCH this error and take the desired action.
HELP!!! To the knowledgeable and generous Scripting Professionals.
If the directions say go straight, but I turn left, then right: Will I still get there?

Okay, I stripped down the script:

Command line options / API Support to launch the sequence file

does teststand support any command line options / API Support to launch the sequence file and also populate the test run status. I want to explore the option of integrating the teststand with QC where I can launch the sequence from QC and results are sent back to QC.
Thanks in advance,
-Dilip

Hi Dilip,
Here are the command line options for TestStand v4.2.1:
Command Line Processing
Command line usage:
   seqedit.exe [<sequence file>]
               [/goto <location>]
               [/run <sequence> <sequence file>]
               [/runEntryPoint <entry point> <sequence file>]
               [/quit]
               [/setCurrentDir]
               [/useExisting]
               [<workspace file>]
      <location>: property object path to the item to display in the file
               Location examples:
                     TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[\"MainSequence\"].Main[\"Power On\"]"
                     TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[\"MainSequence\"].Main[\"ID#:JifH4ODTf0y1z7bJne0G7D\"]"
                     TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[1].Main[4].TS.LoadOpt"
      <sequence file>: sequence file to open
      <sequence>:       sequence to run
      <entry point>:    entry point, such as Single Pass or Test UUTs, to run
      <workspace file>: workspace file to open
   You may specify multiple sequence files, sequences, and entry points.
   Quotes are required for arguments that contain a space, such as
   "Test UUTs" and "C:\My Documents\Test Sequence.seq"
I don't believe you'll get a return status of the executed sequence from the editor on close; but you could design your sequence to write the status to a file and then read that by your QC application.

Command Line Application Usage

Can I use the command line app (coherence.cmd) to query values in an out of process cache? If so how would I go about that?

Hi Karim,
Let's assume you have a distributed cache named "Test1" on the cache servers. You can start the command line app on a cache client (localstorage=false) and join the same named cache that is running on the cache servers by typing the following command at the prompt:
cache Test1
From the prompt you can type the following command to display cache entries in this particular cache:
list
A list of available commands can be found by typing "help" at the prompt or here on the website here.
I hope this helps.

Running a command in a command line tool in fastest way

Before anything I want to clarify some terms :
apk
file (android application package file) : equivalent to executable (exe) files on windows
aapt.exe
: A command line tool which comes with android sdk in order to fetch information of an apk file (It obviously has other usages)
note : This question is not about an android feature. It's all about C# and functionality of .Net framework
An
apk file has a name just same as any other file, but it has a internal name (which will be shown when you install apk file on android os as name of application)
with
aapt.exe I can get internal name of an apk using following command :
aapt
d badging "<apk path>"
I
have copied aapt.exe where executable file of my c# application is and I want :
Enter
above command for each apk in selected directory (using GetAllFiles method)
I want to get internal names of apk files and
I've tried a lot of ways and I've searched a lot. finally this is what I've got :
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
proc.Start();
using (StreamWriter sw = proc.StandardInput)
foreach (string path in Directories.GetAllFiles(@"E:\apk", "apk"))
sw.WriteLine("aapt d badging " + "\"" + path + "\"");
//following line doesn't work because sStandardInput is open
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
// There will be a really huge amount of text (at least 20 line per sw.Writeline) and
//it impacts performance so following line is not really what I'm looking for
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
GetAllFiles is
a function that I've created to fetch all apk file full path. It gets two argument. First argument is path and second one is extension of file you want its full path to be fetched.
This is not final code.
As I've commented it out first Debug.WriteLine doesn't
work and second one is not a good idea. how should I get output from proc?
I have tried running process by argument and its awful :)
As another approach :
Because apk files are basically zip files I can extract them get what I want from them.
There is an xml file named Androidmanifest.xml in every apk file.
Androidmanifest.xml is like an ID card for an apk file and apk internal name can be found in it but here are some problems with this approach :
1. Androidmanifest.xml is not a plain text file. It's coded and it requires a lot of complexity to decode it
2. application name (or apk internal name) is an attribute in this file and it's value is not a string value. It's a reference to a file where strings are stored and worst thing is it's not an easy to find out reference. It's just a number

And you don't get any output from it? Maybe you're passing the arguments incorrectly?
No. I don't get any result and I have checked arguments and it's correct.
But you are already running a separate process for every apk file. You start a single cmd.exe and then send it commands that will cause aapt to be run for every file. Unless aapt accepts multiple apk filenames on the command line there's no way
around using separate processes.
I didn't know that. anyway speed in this way is much more rather than creating a function. creating a Process object in it and calling function for each apk file.
I read somewhere that it's possible to run multiple commands in cmd by & operator but as you said I think every command runs aapt. I have tested this approach too and it's very very slow
fastest approach I have found is what I have wrote here and speed is about 0.6 per apk file which is still slow when there is thousands of apk files.
I tried an application that does same thing (fetching apk information) and in it's installation directory I found aapt.exe which means it uses this tool to get information but speed is significantly faster rather than my application.
So what's your suggestion about this?

Design Question - Command Line Argument Processor

Folks,
I'm a java and OO newbie... I've been going through Sun's java tutorials
I've "enhanced" Sun's RegexTestHarness.java (using Aaron Renn's gnu.getopt package) to expose the various Pattern.FLAGS on the command line.
Whilst it does work the arguement processing code is awkward so I want to rewrite it... but I'm pretty new to OO, so before I spend days hacking away at a badly designed ArgsProcessor package I thought I'd run my deign ideas past the guru's... and atleast see if my ideas are impossible, or just plain bad.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Paul,
What are you trying to do, and why?Sorry I should have made myself a lot clearer...
What I'm really trying to do is learn Java, and good OO design... so I'm going through the Sun tutorials, and I see that the standard Pattern class has a few handy switches, so I wanted to expose them to the command line... which I did using the handy gnu.getopts library...
Are you trying to write a general purpose
command-line processing library?Yes, I'm trying to write a general purpose command-line processing library? one that's "cleaner" to use than the gnu.getopts.
I've been hacking away for a few hours and haven't gotten very far... what I have discovered is that gnu.getopts class is in fact very clever (surprise surprise)... and my idea to "simplify" it's usage leads to loss of flexibility. So, I'm starting to think I'm completely barking up the wrong tree... and that I was somewhat vanglorious thinking that I (a newbie) could improve upon it.
Are you trying to write a command-line app to do
pattern matching?Yep, That too... That's where I started... with an example from Sun's tutorials... where it's used to parse a long series of patterns and strings, exploring java's regex capabilities.
I think I'll just give up on "improving" on gnu.getopts... my options processing code is ugly, and so be it.

              The lookup order is compInternalName:Version:varName, then compInternalName:varName
do anyone had any idea on this.
Thanks a lot,
RR.

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...

Access via command line to the data files for Address Book

Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8
Mac Mini 2.66 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
I rolled back from Mountain Lion Server to Snow Leopard Server because I needed mySql. At the time I was under AppleCare and they walked me through the steps. However, I ended up with Address Book issues.
Addressbook user on the Snow Leopard Server was upgraded to Mountain Lion Server. During the rollback process, the Apple tech had me delete the Addressbook user.
When we finished the rollback, he had me recreate the Addressbook user, but now it is linked to a new, empty data file. I cannot add new contacts nor edit or delete them. So I need to use the command line to view both data store files, find the one that has my data in it and re-attach it to my new Addressbook user.
Can someone help me with the Command Line commands?
Thank you,
Cailyn

Hi,
There are a couple of more advanced solution I can think of and I'm actually working on one myself.
* You can create your own jnlp client that allows you to pass in arguments. That sounds harder than it easy. Building a stripped down jnlp client (e.g. no installer, no applets) using one of the two open-source client as a start takes probably just a couple of days and should be sufficient for in house usage.
* Another solution is what I'm working on now. You can wrap your own executable around javaws that takes your passed in arguments plus jnlp href and looks up the original in the cache and adds a new one to the cache that it passes on to javaws and suddenly everything works as it should. The magic will be revealed at http://www.geocities.com/vamp201

Is it possible to pass command line as variable.

Hi to all,
I have an application(java based) which upon execution asks for database name after selection thru file dialog, it spawns dos window and executes batch file (and the batch file contain command line java programm).
Now my question is how can i pass the database name to this spawned java application in dos prompt.
Anybody's suggestion is welcomed.
Regards
Khizer

Two ways, as a property or as an argument.
You can set it as a property like this using the -D option:
java -Ddatabase.name=MyDatabase ....
Then you can read it from the application as
System.getProperty("database.name");
Passing it as an argument goes like this:
java ... MyMainClass MyDatabase
and read it as
public class MyMainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    if (args.length == 1) {
      System.out.println("Database name is: "+args[0]);
    } else {
      System.out.println("Usage: java ... MyMainClass <database name>");
}

Errors when running db_stat from command line

Hi,
I'm trying to use db_stat at the command line to generate statistics.
However, I keep getting errors. I cannot use the db->stat call
because this is to be done at a customer site using their existing binary.
Note that the call to db_stat -m fails, while the call to db_stat -d <dbname>
prints an error/warning then appears to succeed.
Most likely, there is some usage subtlety that I have missed.
Any suggestions about what I have done wrong?
I am using BDB 4.6.21 on Windows. Databases are created inside a
db environment.

If I'm reading your code correctly, you're starting a Korn shell session, then executing your C shell script as if you were at at the session window's prompt. If that is correct, you haven't caused your standard out (stdout) to hit ENTER yet. I'm not an expert, but I hope this works for you.
Your code:
Process Child = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/ksh"); // execute command
                        BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
                        outCommand.write("/home/mypath/tesh.csh");
                        outCommand.flush();I think you need to enter one extra line before the flush():
Process Child = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/ksh"); // execute command
                        BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
                        outCommand.write("/home/mypath/tesh.csh");
                        outCommand.newLine(); // hit ENTER
                        outCommand.flush();P.S. If you're running this script and your Java program from the same UNIX machine, you could just execute the shell script inside the runtime.exec() call.

Sending image sequence job to compressor in command line : how to set the framerate?

Hello,
In Compressor, when you import a image sequence, it's possible to set the framerate and add an audio file before choosing a preset and lauching the encoding task.
I want to dlo the same thing with command line. I know how to send a compressor job with command line, but no how to add theses settings.
In the compressor command line help, we've got this :
Job Info: Used when submitting individual source files. Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch
          -jobpath <url> -- url to source file.
                                           -- In case of Image Sequence, URL should be a file URL pointing to directory with image sequence.
                                           -- Additional parameters may be specified to set frameRate (e.g. frameRate=29.97) and audio file (e.g. audio=/usr/me/myaudiofile.mov).
So there are also framerate and audio parameters in command line but i've no idea how to write the command line with theses parameters
Here is an example of command line for Compressor (by Apple) :
./Compressor ‑clusterid tcp://127.0.0.1:51737 ‑batchname myBatch ‑jobpath /Volumes/Source/ShortClips/NTSC24p.mov ‑settingpath /Users/stomper10/Library/Application\ Support/Compressor/PhotoJPEG.setting ‑destinationpath /Users/machinename/Movies/myDestinationFilename.mov.
Thank you for your help!

You can see in the command sh running-config command
show running-config : Displays the current access point operating configuration
Use the guest-mode SSID configuration mode command to configure the radio interface (for the specified SSID) to support guest mode. Use the no form of the command to disable the guest mode.
[no] guest-mode .
Here is the guideline for usage
The access point can have one guest-mode SSID or none at all. The guest-mode SSID is used in beacon frames and response frames to probe requests that specify the empty or wildcard SSID. If no guest-mode SSID exists, the beacon contains no SSID and probe requests with the wildcard SSID are ignored. Disabling the guest mode makes the networks slightly more secure. Enabling the guest mode helps clients that passively scan (do not transmit) associate with the access point. It also allows clients configured without a SSID to associate.
Examples
This example shows how to set the wireless LAN for the specified SSID into guest mode:
AP(config-if-ssid)# guest-mode
This example shows how to reset the guest-mode parameter to default values:
AP(config-if-ssid)# no guest-mode

Unix command Line input and output

Has anybody used Forte for now window application. Passing values through
command line and get put as a return value. I am able to call Forte and
pass input values but I do not know who to get the return value. Here is
the shell script that I am running:
#!/bin/csh
# Ensure that the correct number of parameters were supplied #
if (${#argv} < 2) then
then
echo "USAGE: ecapp Method Number Parm1 Parm2"
exit 1
endif
ftexec -fi bt:$FORTE_ROOT/userapp/mwapp/cl0/mwapp_0 -fnw -fterm $1 $2
The start class will return a string value after processing the request. I
can use task.lgr.putline to output to the screen but that is not what I
would like to do. I want to get the return value assigned to a variable in
the shell script. One thing I do not know is that if Forte return a string
that the script can use. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you try to set Task.Part.OperatingSystem.ExitStatus ? But, the ExitStatus is an integer.
If you really need a string, I would use ExitStatus to know how it finished and an environment variable (Task.Part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv() to position it in your Tool code) to read the string back in the script.
Hope this helps,

Command line parameters for al_engine.exe

If you go to a command line window on a DS server and type al_engine.exe with no parameters it prints "Usage" information. Some of the parameters it mentions are known to the community (like -XX, -XI, etc). However there are some which sound pretty interesting, but I can't find any information or examples how it should be used. Examples:
-L<list of value> : List of Object Labels from UI (separated by , or ; or space) to filter.
-Je<XML file> Execute the Installation scenario defined in XML file.
-jd"datastore delta file in quotes>" : Modify datastore values using "file"
-Jf, -Ja, -We, and many more.
I am particularily interested in -Je functiohnality - it sounds like it can be used to automate deployment. I am using import/export options to do some automation, but real automation would include deletion of some objects, adding jobs to projects, etc.
Can anybody help with the documentation/examples?

The preferred way is to save your workflow as an application and then call usr/bin/open on it. If for some reason you must have the workflow run inside of Automator (not self-contained) then you're looking at some quality time with man osascript. As it happens Apple has removed even the need for Cron for most users. A click to File -> Save As Plug-In -> for iCal handles it from start to finish.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Automator has its own simple command line utility for running *.workflow files. Check out man automator
