Command Window control

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to control whether or not input appears in the command (MS-DOS) window or not. For example, if I have a program that does something like this:
Please enter a Sentence.
I am going to the store. presses enter
Is there a way to control whether or not that sentence shows up in the command window?

For example, if I have a program that does something like this:If by "does" you mean the program prints the prompt on System.out
and gets the input from System.in then your choices are pretty minimal.
(Being able to use the console effectively is a long standing bug/RFE
with Java).
But check out Console's readPassword() method in 1.6 which "Reads
a password or passphrase from the console with echoing disabled".

Why it automatically recover current redo log in RMAN command window?

Sqlagent90.exe keeps running in a command window

HELP!, This is annoying and beyond belief. I installed SqlServer Developer edition without any problem than I installed SqlServer Express and now whenever I boot my PC, I have a command window that appear with nothing in it and the following title:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT90.EXE"
Now if I go to the Task Manager and kill the SQLAGENT90.EXE process, it goes away for a second than comeback with the nice command windows.
Any idea what's wrong and how I can get rid of it?
Bye the way, everything else seems to be working fine with the application.
Thanks,
Claude.

Claude,
Some how the service was marked as allowed to interact with the desktop. This is not the default configuration and there is no need for it, so I'm not sure how you ended up in this state. To clean this us launch the service control manager (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services), scroll down to the Agent service (SQL Server Agent (instance name)) and double click it to bring up the Properties page. On the Properties page select the Log On tab. The service is probably running as Local System, below this is a check box labeled "Allow service to interact with desktop", uncheck that box, press the Apply button, go to the General tab and stop and start the service. You should no longer see the cmd window pop up. Click OK to dismiss the Properties page.
Cheers,
Dan

Xcopy without a command window....

Hi,
I need to download from the network a folder, not always the same folder as this will hopefully be pragmatically controlled, along with its sub folders, if present.
As far as I can see the best option is xcopy, with its switches, or is there another option?
Err = system ("xcopy /S/Q/Y/R/K \\\\NW_Drive\\Test_Fol\\TestDataSource\\Rel\\TestCode\\*.* C:\\Test_Loc\\test\\SRM\\");
If it is to be xcopy can it be done without a command window or at least a small or minimized command window?
Thanks for the help
Simon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You may want to explore LaunceExecutableEx possibilities, especially for its ability to hide the launched program window. Keep in mind that this is an asynchronous call, so if you want to survey the process you need to save the handle returned by the command and periodically check its state with ExecutableHasTerminated () function.

Hide visible command window when running cscript.exe

I'm using vbs wrappers when I'm installing applications with MDT because they offer me better control and logging capability. Currently when task sequencer executes application install with cscript.exe there is this visible command window. Is it possible
to completely hide it without big modifications to MDT?

If you are using ZTIUtility.vbs then I recommend:
oUtility.RunWithConsoleLoggingAndHidden "cmd.exe /c echo Hello World!"

Cannot change command and control button

in the past I've been able to switch the command and control buttons from system preferences. I recently connected a new Microsoft keyboard to my mac mini, and when I change the command and control button the same way I did before, it has no affect. The command and control keys have their default action. Is there a way to over ride this?

I did on Lenono brand windows keyboard and it works, but when I try a Microsoft brand windows keyboard, it doesnt work.

Results of Query Wrap Within DOS Command Window.

Greetings,
I am using SQL*PLUS within the DOS command window.
The results of my query is wrapping down the page, instead of using the entire width of the window.
I have set the windows mode command, before going into SQL*PLUS:
MODE CON: COLS=100 LINES=40
So, I was hoping to have Oracle use all 100 columns, when displaying the answer set.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Size of lines, columns and pages are controlled by SQL*Plus system variables
For width of lines
SET LINES[IZE] which defaults to 80
For number of lines per "page"
SET PAGES[IZE] which defaults to 14
To control formatting, including width of indicidual columns you have COL[UMN], e.g:
COLUMN your_column FORMAT a20
For more settings:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm
If you want certain settings each time you open SQL*Plus, you can add those to your glogin.sql
Regards
Peter

Access to Previously-saved SQL in SQL Commands Window

Hi all,
If I've saved some SQL in the SQL Commands window, shouldn't that be available to other developers when they click on the Saved SQL tab? I saved a sample query and one of my other developers doesn't see it. I don't see any setting available in the developer account that controls whether or not the account can see others' saved SQL.
If this isn't allowed, then I don't really see the point of the Owner drop-down in the Saved SQL tab.
Any advice?
Thanks!!
John

Hi Sc0tt,
I think you may be referring to the Schema drop-down that appears in the upper-right area in SQL Commands, Object Browser, etc. That isn't the drop-down I'm referring to. I'm referring to the Owner drop-down that appears in the lower-half of the SQL Commands window then you click the Saved SQL link. I understand that to be the ApEx developer who saved the SQL - nothing to do with database schemas.
I saved some SQL using the Save button assuming I could tell my other developers that if they click Saved SQL they'd see it listed. They don't, and the only choices in the Owner drop-down for any of us are "-- All Users --" or our own user. I don't see any setting I can change for our accounts to allow/prevent seeing others' Saved SQL, so either it's a bug, or if it's intentional that a user can only bring back their own saved SQL then there doesn't appear to be any point in having an Owner drop-down.
Thanks,
John

Keyboard Modifier toggle from command to Control for Leopard

Hi guys I have this script working after a bit of tweaking and the script was originally posted by Lance Ball long ago for Tiger and was for users with a Pc Keyboard. I am swapping control and command for pure gaming preferences; Unfortunately, The script will not work when the Keyboard Shortcuts menu has been opened last in system preferences, would anyone know how to slightly tweak this applescript so that it selects the keyboard button prior?
-- Utility script to switch keyboard mapping for Command and Control keys.
-- Author: Lance Ball & tweaked by Beau Parkes for Snow Leopard
-- Open System Preferences
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"

tell application "System Events"
-- If we don't have UI Elements enabled, then nothing is really going to work.
if UI elements enabled then
tell application process "System Preferences"

Hi, Beau Parks. Welcome to this forum.
The following version of your script (tested with Mac OS X 10.6.2) should do what you are asking for:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
--Optional part:
tell application "System Events" to set UI_enabled to UI elements enabled
if not UI_enabled then
display dialog "This script utilizes the built-in Graphic User Interface Scripting architecture of Mac OS X which is currently disabled." & return & return & "Do you want to activate GUI Scripting by selecting the checkbox “Enable access for assistive devices” in the Universal Access preference pane?" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2 with icon 0
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
reveal pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
end tell
return
end if
--Main part:
tell application "System Preferences"
reveal anchor "keyboardTab" of pane id "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
tell application "System Events" to tell window "Keyboard" of process "System Preferences" -- GUI Scripting
click button "Modifier Keys…" of tab group 1 -- open up the Modifier Keys sheet
tell sheet 1
click pop up button 5 -- the first button from the top
click menu item "Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad" of menu 1 of pop up button 5
if (value of pop up button 3 ends with "Control") then -- we're in default mode
click pop up button 3 -- Control Key
click menu item 4 of menu 1 of pop up button 3 -- Control Key --> Command Key
click pop up button 1 -- Command Key
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1 -- Command Key --> Control Key

Workflow 2.6.4.0.0 configuration problem - Command window does not close

I am trying to install Oracle Workflow 2.6.4.0.0. as part of Warehouse builder using the details mentioned in this link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_owb/owb10gr2_gs/owb/lesson4/etl-mappings.htm
From the Start menu click Programs > Oracle <Database HOME> > Configuration and Migration Tools >
Workflow Configuration Assistant. The Assistant is started.
Accept the default for Install Option
Workflow Account: (Accept the default ) owf_mgr
Workflow Password: owf_mgr
SYS Password : <Enter the SYS account password>
TNS Connect Descriptor: localhost:1521:orcl
Click Submit.
However following this document, the command window did not close, and I did not get any message stating that Workflow Configuration has successfully completed.
The command window displays this message as the final step and does not close-
WorkflowCA: Executing :C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\bin\java -jar C:\oracle

Is this installation complete? How to resolve this?
Please can any one help?
Thanks very much
Allan

I ran into this problem. And it took me while to get it fixed, but It does work.
First the TNS Desc is misleading. One would think that it would be host:port:sid. What it is really looking for is host:port:servicename. But if you want to use the "Change Tablespace" drop down list you need to, enter the sys password, change it to host:port:sid - Then use the drop list. And change it back before you press submit.
The second thing that I found is that it wants to use the SYSTEM tablespace as temporary tablespace. THis is becuase it is looking for a temp tablespace called TEMP. If you look a the line default_temp = SYSTEM. And if you dont supply a tablespace it wanted to change it in the wfsysgnt.sql script in the $OH\wf\sql directory. You would think that what ever the default database tbs and temp tbs is - that owf would use that. No, it wanted to change it. Oracle needs to fix this.
So here is how i fixed it. I had to create a temporary tablespace called TEMP, does not need to be big as I dropped it after it was done. Then i had to modify the wfinstall.csh script and use the install options. Not the /tablespace this option is obayed but it will try to use the SYSTEM as the temp tbs. Here is my example that I appended:
/wfacct "owf_mgr" /wfpasswd "my_owf_mgr_pwd" /debug "true" /tnsConnDesc "my_host_ip:my_port:my_servicename" /syspasswd "change_on_install" /tablespace "OWF_TBS"

Does QTP/UFT support "Microsoft.Windows.Control" (one type of wpf control)?

Hello,
I have a challenge automating WPF Application in which they used new type of Wpf Data GridControl i.e "Microsoft.Windows.Control". We cannot access all the properties of this control(RowCount,GetCelldata). Can Anyone get this issue and provide me details of any patch that can resolve this issue?

njb,
Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

Mac shuts down if I do not keep either the Fn, Command or control button held down ?

Hi. I have a mac book pro late 2011 model. I am running Mavericks but but I have a problem where my mac shuts down if I do not keep either the Fn, Command or control button held down. Also if/when this shut down happens I need to hold the shift-control-option keys to restart the mac.
Anybody got any advice for me ?
Many thanks
Paul
