Command Prompt Weirdness.

After upgrade to Mountain Lion, the command prompt part that goes before the colon changed to "android_fb392d1bb338d8e3".
Not sure where this came from.
Computer name is MBA.
This is a 13" MacBook Air.
Terminal prompt used to be the computer name.
I do not have a .profile file.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
With no other information about the problem is hard to know what's happening. If you could at least provide us with the query then I think it would be easier for us to help you.

Pressing ENTER in Command Prompt to solve hanging

Hi,
Does anyone know why sometimes Java hangs, unless you press ENTER in the
Command Prompt for Windows 2K? After pressing ENTER it continues execution.
It happens with WebLogic sometimes too. It will not print anything on the
console until I press ENTER.
I'm sure lots of Java developers have experienced this weird problem.
Thanks,

CLASSPATH in XP command prompt

Hi all,
I found weird how Windows XP deals with CLASSPATH, does it
happens normally or just with me?
The problem is that despite I had declared (CLASSPATH, PATH, JAVA_HOME) in my "Enviroment variables" (look below) when I run the command prompt (cmd.exe) it does not run the classes straight, it says:
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:"
Then I need to run with: java -cp %CLASSPATH% .... and it runs. Shouldn't the system recover the CLASSPATH automatically? Strange when I go into command prompt and press set it reports the PATH, CLASSPATH just as declared...
Does it happen with you all, if not do you think my
enviroment variables are to large to the memory?
Another weird thing is that in my opinion, should be enough to declare in the classpath only the folders where the .jar libraries were and not declaring each .jar file... the JVM should scan them for the libraries automatically, but it does not happens!!
Look how I have to set my PATH and CLASSPATH for it to find them as example:
CLASSPATH=.;C:\j2sdk140\lib\;C:\j2sdk140\lib\tools.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\servlet.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\jspengine.jar;C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\j2sdk140\lib\xt.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\sax.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\dom4j.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\xt.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\xp.jar;C:\j2sdk140\lib\saxon.jar;
PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\j2sdk140\bin;c:\j2sdk140\lib;c:\jswdk101;c:\jswdk101\lib;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\AUTODE~1;D:\PROGRA~2\BC5\BIN;
Don't you find it strange? Is it my mistake?
What can I do to avoid to type -cp %CLASSPATH% everytime
when running apps from XP command prompt (cmd.exe)??
Many Thanks
Al.

I ran into this today... I simply had to remove the quotes from the CLASSPATH system variable... restarted cmd and everything was ok after that.

MDT 2013 Task Sequence return to command prompt

Hey All,
I created a fresh MDT 2013 share on a 2008 R2 machine that also holds the WDS for PXE.
Right after it applies DISM, it restarts back to a command prompt, my logs don't report any errors. When I type exit, the machine reboots and the task sequence continues as normal. Here is the peice in my dynamic log where it stops logging. Last line is
where it stops and I type exit.

While in Windows PE, the cmd.exe window will appear in one of two scenarios:
1. The user pressed the F8 key.
or
2. Litetouch.wsf returned some kind of failure during processing. This is weird.
Under what instances would the Litetouch.wsf crash (fail)? Well, the most common scenario is that there are some mixmatched source files in MDT. Updating the deployment share could fix the problem.
The only other way to know for sure is to run the program in a debugging mode. When you first boot up to WinPE, instead of starting the deployment wizard, when you are at the welcome wizard, break out into the cmd.exe prompt (not by pressing F8). Then
run the command:
cscript.exe x:\deploy\scripts\litetouch.wsf /debug:true /debugcapture
At the end of the script we should see an error with a line number.
If we don't see an error then something else is going on.

Command prompt issue from VBscript

So I have this script that works perfectly for parsing out a COM number and then sending data to said COM port via the command line (things like 'ipconfig > //./COM15'). The issue is that it only works when I use the /K modifier which tells the command
windows to stay open. I don't want them to stay open, but whenever I remove the /K, it doesn't work. Nothing gets copied to the COM port. I suspect the cause of this is the command prompt closing before things like systeminfo can finish running. So is
there a way to have the command prompt window stay open for a short amount of time and then close?

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

Error 5: Access is Denied While using OSCDIMG to create Winpe x86 ISO with Deployment Tools Command Prompt

Technician computer is Windows 7 HP x64.
Running latest version of WAIK.
Goal: To make a Winpe disc for each processor architecture (AMD64, x86, IA64) with an included Gimage.exe using this code for the default startnet.cmd file found in system32 directory of winpe boot.wim
wpeinit
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==amd64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==ia64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 (
cd x86
start gimagex.exe
These are the commands I have processed for the x86 variant:
copype x86 c:\pe\x86\
Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\pe\x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
**It is at this point I copy over my x86 folder, x64 folder, and overwrite the startnet.cmd file.
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit
oscdimg -n bc:\pe\x86\etfsboot.com c:\pe\x86\iso c:\pe\x86.iso
^^It is at this command I receive this error:
ERROR: Could not delete existing file "c:\pe\x86\iso"
Error 5: Access is denied.
Please note that all commands before were hand-typed, no copy or pasting from any directory or .chm
One thread referred to some Application Management service, but I can report that there is no such service installed in my machine.
Thank You!
UPDATE:
I copied the winpe.wim file from the x86 root directory into the iso directory and renamed it to boot.wim Now, if I copy the contents to a flash drive and put it into a client
computer, it boots to the PE perfectly, script and all.
However, when trying to use the oscdimg command, I do get an .iso successfully, but when I burn it, I don't know what to do in the way of boot options, and if I keep defaults (imgburn)
it results in an un-bootable dvd.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Don't copy and paste instead type manually it will work.
[email protected]
OMG! Yes, you are correct ... but I have no idea why! I retyped the command line:
oscdimg -n -be:\winpe_amd64\etfsboot.com e:\winpe_amd64\ISO e:\winpe_amd64\winpe_amd64.iso
into Notepad, and then pasted it into the Command Prompt, and it worked!
Perhaps there must be some hidden characters included when pasting directly, even though I first pasted the command line into Notepad, and then into Command Prompt
(C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>).
I had to retype the command line in Notepad before copying and pasting, before it would work.
Wow, thanks!

How to run a program as an administrator from within a non-elevated command prompt?

I have a project that is going to be running on a kiosk, and the user that is running the kiosk software is going to be restricted. I have an alternate administrator account, but I cannot seem to figure out how to open my program running as this administrator
user. I have tried to use runas, like so:
runas /user:admin kiosk.exe
However, when I try to run this command, it asks me for the password of the administrator account and my program doesn't open correctly. It fails to open at all. If I change the run as to a start command, then the program executes fine so its
not a problem with my software.
Is there a way to pass a password parameter to runas so that it will not prompt for the password every time? If there is not, can someone think of another way for me to elevate my process to administrator without being logged in as one through the
command prompt?

Hi KevinGEAR,
You want to allow the others without the administrator`s level to run this software and meanwhile the administrator is not logged in, right?
Here is an alternative solution :
1.To work with this solution, a built-in administrator account should be enabled and meanwhile you can create a standard account. The built-in administrator account is different from the administrator account you created.
To enable built-in administrator account:
Ways to Enable / Disable the Built-In Windows 7 Admin Account
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3040.enable-disable-the-local-hidden-built-in-administrator-account-in-windows-7.aspx
2. Use the following code
runas /user:ComputerName\Administrator /savecred "Full path to program's exe file"
Here is a link for reference:

How do i get sql plus to start in something other than command prompt?

I have just installed oracle 11g enterprise addition. I am use to a different type of editor for the sql plus, the one I am use to comes up in a white area and has drop downs for file, tools, spool, help and so on. You can also open notepad with a shortcut. I like this better than command prompt how do i get this?

I think you mean sqlplusw.exe which is a Windows executable delivered until Oracle 10.2 but no more delivered with Oracle 11g.
Mayb you can have a look to SQL Developer http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

I have an hp p3005dn printer. how can i print to "lpt1" in command prompt mode. win 7.

I am trying to get my printer so I can print to it from "Command Prompt". I have done the "Port" thing to allow Windows to accept "LPT1" as an alternate printer spool name. I know there are a command or two that are required in Command Prompt itself, but I do not know them. Can anybody help with the commands required in Command Prompt.
Thanks

Hello Greenwood Newton HS,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Best of luck,
Mario

How can I pass a value to the command prompt?

I was wondering how can I pass a value to the command prompt with Windows and Linux? I'm more interested in Linux's system than Windows though. Is there a way to return info from the command prompt?

Here is a snippet from http://mindprod.com/jglossexec.html that explains how in detail.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myprog.exe") will spawn an external process that runs in parallel with the Java execution. In Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, you must use an explicit *.exe or *.com extension on the parameter. It is also best to fully qualify those names so that the system executable search path is irrelevant, and so you don't pick up some stray program off the path with the same name.
To run a *.BAT, *.CMD, *.html *.BTM or URL you must invoke the command processor with these as a parameter. These extensions are not first class executables in Windows. They are input data for the command processor. You must also invoke the command processor when you want to use the < > | piping options, Here's how, presuming you are not interested in looking at the output:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("cmd.exe /E:1900 /C MyCmd.cmd" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("C:\\4DOS601\\4DOS.COM /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("D:\\4NT301\\4NT.EXE /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
There are also overloaded forms of exec(),
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null);
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null, "C:\\SomeDirectory");
The second argument can be a String [], and can be used to set environment variables. In the second case, "C:\\SomeDirectory" specifies a directory for the process to start in. If, for instance, your process saves files to disk, then this form allows you to specify which directory they will be saved in.
Windows and NT will let you feed a URL string to the command processor and it will find a browser, launch the browser, and render the page, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Another lower level approach that does not require extension associations to be quite as well set up is:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Note that a URL is not the same thing as a file name. You can point your browser at a local file with something like this: file://localhost/E:/mindprod/jgloss.html or file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html.
Composing just the right platform-specific command to launch browser and feed it a URL to display can be frustrating. You can use the BrowserLauncher package to do that for you.
Note that
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html
won't work on the command line because | is reserved as the piping operator, though it will work as an exec parameter passed directly to the rundll32.exe executable.
With explicit extensions and appropriately set up associations in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP you can often bypass the command processor and invoke the file directly, even *.bat.
Similarly, for Unix/Linux you must spawn the program that can process the script, e.g. bash. However, you can run scripts directly with exec if you do two things:
Start the script with #!bash or whatever the interpreter's name is.
Mark the script file itself with the executable attribute.
Alternatively start the script interpreter, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec (new String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo $SHELL"}";

Running a GUI application without holding command prompt

Hi there ,
I have developed a GUI application using Swing. After compiling the same successfully , when I run the same , presently , I am running it like ,
c:\> java xxx
where c:\ is the general command prompt on a Windows machine where I can type in my commands like javac or java and xxx is the class file name . Now till I complete using my GUI application and exit from the same , the command prompt will also be there ( and probably displaying the output of my System.out.println ) . So , two sessions are running , one is just the command prompt and another is the actual GUI application.
How can I avoide this ? e.g. when I type command "notepad" and press enter , notepad is started and the command prompt returns after starting notepad i.e. the notepad and the command prompt are not related now , I can close the command intrepreter and still notepad is running . What should I do to create such a Java GUI application ? Please advice .

If I understand you correctly this is something that happens in linux also. And I believe that you can solve this by creating to shortcut to this program.
And the shortcut or link to application will be the command line that you use to run the Java Application.
i.e.
java c:\javadir\subjavadir\application.class
And I believe that this will allow it to run without the command prompt. Just showing the GUI and no additional command prompt window. Freeing the command prompt is something that I don't know how to do in either OS.
I use the Link To Application method because I ultimately don't need to have multiple windows for one application. Even though it is nice to be able to kill the Application by destroying the command-prompt session (in case your app causes lock-ups during testing).
Post your results . . . I'm not even sure that I'm being clear at all with my explanation to your question.
