Connection string not in the command line argument.

Hi,
I found myself constantly looking for the debug connection string and to enter it in the "Command line arguments". I decided to create my Add-On base class from which all my add-ons inherit from.
In the constructor of the base Add-On class I determine the connection string based on whether the code is in debug more or not.
Example:
string connectionString = string.Empty;
#if DEBUG
    _connectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056";
#else
    // Get the log info
    if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length > 1 )
        _connectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
#endif
I hope this help.

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.

Pass the command line argument (argc and argv) to a LabVIEW built shared library.

Hello,
I have successully use this trick to build a LabVIEW application that runs on Linux without X Display.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D6EC36DCF43343786257449006919E6
I'd like to know if it's possible to pass the command line arguments ( ./TEST A B C D) directly into the shared library without having to pass the arguments using a array of strings which would require to write code using DSNewHandle, DSSetHandleSize, extract the arguments and ..... (I'm not proficient in C, but if I don't have a choice I will do it and improve my C skills).
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
Test(argc, argv);
return 0;
Thanks,
Michel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, you can always flatten it back into a space separated single string and pass it like that. Basically reverse what the OS does when it calls your main function with the command line parameters. And while the first element in the array is always the program name itself you can just skip that here, but then format all the rest into a single string.

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...

Fresh install (2012/11/01): Not reaching the command line after boot

Hi
I just installed the latest 2012/11/01 base + base-devel Arch, but after booting in. the process stopped at the point were the last messages from the kernel were printed in the console. The boot process never reached the shell command line for logging in. I re-installed, thinking I did something wrong but again I had the same problem. Eventually. I accidentally found that by keying Enter, I could get the shell login request and I could login OK, having a seemingly functional base system. However, the console font I specified in vconsole.conf did not take effect and the halt command would hang, although reboot worked OK.
I have of course little experience with systemd, but I get the feeling the all this is due to systemd not running properly. I read whatever documentation I found relevant but since there is so much of it, I believe I must have missed the relevant info.
Please help me to get my new install run properly and please clarify whether have to explicitely enable systemd after completing the official installation instructions.
My thanks in advance.

The halt command does not turn off your computer. The "poweroff" command does.
Writing "systemctl poweroff" is not necessary, as /sbin/poweroff is a link to systemctl poweroff.
Last but not least search for suspicous lines in the log files. You can read them with this command.

Linux: Pipe to stdout displays on the command line, but does not redirect to file

Hello all,
Several years ago, I was given the task of making a LabVIEW application run from the Linux command line with arguments.
Now I have the same task, and I naively thought, "Sure, no problem." So, for my stdout output, I used something very similar to the following:
It seems to work fine in a compiled application, as it always has, and the prescribed string appears on the command line window. However, the person testing the functionality here remarked that he couldn't successfully redirect output to a file.
For example:
If my compiled binary is "LabVIEW_executable", let's say it is called in the following manner:
/foo/bar> ./LabVIEW_executable >foo.txt
Since the desired output appears on the command line, you'd intuitively think that it would also appear in foo.txt, but it does not. After tinkering for a while and coming up with very little in the way of search results, I thought I'd ask here.
Has anyone ever done this before?
I am very grateful for any assistance.
Regards,
Jim

Ahhh, thanks a lot!
Whoops. Looks like I made a novice mistake.
Nice icon, by the way.

How to pass a command line argument to the sequence?

Hi,
My GUI is written in VB.NET. I can read the command line argument in the GUI, using: Me.AxApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments(). But I don't know how to pass it on to my sequence file which the GUI invokes. How do I read the command line argument from the sequence file?
My purpose, is to have the same basic sequence execute different subsequences depending on starting conditions...
I am using TestStand 3.0 with a VB.NET GUI, on Windows XP.
I'd appreciate any help on the subject.
Alan

Hi Alan,
One obvious way would be to add parameter(s) to the MainSequence and then modify the process model sequence file to use the new parameter(s) in the step "MainSequence Callback" in either Single Pass or Test UUTs but I wouldn't recommend this approach.
The sequence file to be run via the entry point can be found at "RunState.ProcessModelClient" and the lookup string to the MainSequence would be "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.Seq["MainSequence"] or .Seq[0] .
Therefore you could quite easy use the SetVal method to setup a Local variable in the MainSequence of your Sequence File to receive the command line string.
Also you could do this without altering the Process Model Sequence File by using the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup in your Sequence File.
As an example.
You have a string in your Locals of MainSequence called CmdLineStr.
If you add the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup to your SequenceFile, then add an ActiveX Automation Adapter step which is setup for a PropertyObject and the reference is RunState.Caller.RunState.ProcessModel.Data.Seq[0].Locals.CmdLineStr.
There is an extra RunState.Caller to the lookup string, that's because I am doing the work in a SubSequence of Entry Point Sequence.
The method to use is SetValString and the parameters of the PropertyObject will be
lookupString = ""
options = 0 or 1
newValue = where evey you have stored you command line string.
Now when you run your sequence file you will find that the Locals.CmdLineStr will contain your parameter string.
Hope this is of help to you.

Ray Farmer

Sending varargs via command line arguments to main()

When I put A B C D in the command line arguments textbox in my compiler, the output is as expected: A B C D. However, when I put *new String[]{A, B, C, D}*, the output is *new String[]{A, B, C, D}*, not A B C D as I had expected. My code is below. Any suggestions?
package varargs;
public class Varargs {
    static void printArray(Object...args){
        for (Object obj : args)
            System.out.print(obj + " ");
        System.out.println();
    public static void main(String...args) {
        printArray((Object[])args);
}

The argument(s) that is/are supplied to your main method will be rendered as literal String constants. It looks like you are attempting to use java code as one of your arguments with the expectation that the program will interpret this code. It won't. Your program will simply display whatever it is given even if what you offer as an argument happens to be a construct of the Java language.

Executing another program with command line arguments

I am very new to Java, so bare with me.
I have written an encryption/decryption program in C (that accepts command line arguments of the key, mode (encrypt/decrypt), and file), and I have written a GUI for it in Java. It accepts the filename (and has a button which opens the "File/Open" dialog), key, and mode, and has a button to Start the process of the encryption. I'd like for that "Start" button to call my encryption program in C (eep.exe) with the command line arguments of the file, key, and mode. This is what I have written so far :
Start = new JButton("Start");
Start.setBounds(150, 180, 90, 25);
Start.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
Desktop.open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename + " " + mode + " " + key));
However, I get the error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method open(File) from the type Desktop" on the Desktop.open command.
What should I do? Is Desktop.Open the right way to go about this? If not, what is the right way to go about it?
Thanks in advance.

That has helped greatly, but I cannot pass command line arguments to it.
Using :
try {
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe"));
catch (Exception e) {
   System.out.println("Error executing.");
}I can execute eep.exe, but when I try to pass command line arguments to it, such as
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename));it fails, get caught and prints "Error Executing."
I have also tried loading the program, as well as some command line arguments into an array of strings :
String[] cmdArray = {"C:\\eep.exe", filename};
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(cmdArray));But it gives me the error "The constructor File(String[]) is undefined" on the
new File (cmdArray)part of the command.

How to Pass Command line arguments to an exe created in LV8.0

Hi Friends,
I have Created an exe in LV8.0, which accepts the Folder path as input and executes.
I want to call this exe passing the parameter (i.e folder path in my case) from the command line argument. How to pass arguments to the exe ?
Generally we may be having different types of input parameters to a vi like numeric control, string, boolean etc..If we create an exe that needs three input parameters among which one is boolean, other is string and third is a numeric value.
How to pass these different types of input controls to the exe as parameters in command line at the same time?
Thanks and Regards,
SODLB

I don't have any experience with the 8.x application builder, but the 7.x one has a checkbox for passing the arguments to the executable.
As for reading them, there should be an example in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) which shows how to do this. If you want to pass multiple parameters, I suggest you use a structure similar to NAME=VALUE, so that you can parse each element to find the = and then use a case structure to decide what to do with the parameters. This allows your users to enter or not enter any of the switches.
Try to take over the world!

Get the absolute path and filename of the file from the command line

Hi,
when we run the class we give the command
java <filename>
How can I capture the filename given above and get its absolute path inside the
public static void main(String [] args){}
args[0] gives me the command line argument after the filename. How do I capture the filename itself from the command line argument and also get that files absolute path
Thanks

I don't know of any way to capture the java command input, but there are ways to find out where the application is being run from. (the "absolute path")

Do i put -private-window in the command line of the shortcut?

can someone show me what to do with the -private-window command line of the shortcut? I have windows 8 pro. I want to make a shortcut for this. Thanks

Hi lolnyancats,
there are multiple ways how to start Firefox in private browsing mode. If you want to use a shortcut parameter, follow the instructions below:
# Create firefox shortcut;
# Right-click on the shortcut, choose properties;
# Edit location (not name), file path and file name followed by the command line argument "-private", e.g.: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -prvate;
# Save changes.
When you double click the modified shortcut you have just created, Firefox will start in private browsing window.
Other cmd line parameters you could possibly use and further info.: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments

Labview is using stale command line arguments

I've created a vi to test passing command line arguments to Labview. I've attached it below. All it does is display the 1st and 2nd arguments. Also in VI Properties in the Execution category, it's set to 'Run when opened'.
In the command prompt I'm entering: "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\LabVIEW.exe" "C:\Users\command_line_arguments.vi" -- a b
This works - the vi launches, and displays a and b. However, if I run it again from the command prompt with -- a c as the arguments, it still displays a b. Only if I exit the vi, and quit LabVIEW (so that LabVIEW.exe stops running) then launch it again from the command line does it display a c.
So for some reason Application:Command Line Arguments is using stale data, and ignoring the new arguments. Is this a bug, or am I using it in the wrong way? Thanks.

That's normal behavior, the command line arguments are always the ones with which LabVIEW was first started. I think most single-instance applications work this way, although it's not something I've ever tested. Attempting to run LabVIEW again will just bring the already-running application to the front.

SQLplus TO_UPPER command line argument

Hi,
I am reading in a command line argument from SQLplus to use in a PL/SQL block, and need to do a TO_UPPER on the argument, but it doesn't work when I check against it, 
IF UPPER('&1.') = 'IPF' THEN ...
 
How do I work around this? I tried declaring a variable and assigning the value to it, and then doing a TO_UPPER on it, but that didn't work either. How do I convert the command line argument to all uppercase in SQLplus?
Thank you, Laura

Laura:
How are you calling the PL/SQL block? This works:
SQL> !cat t.sql
DECLARE
 l_v VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
 IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
 l_v := 'Got IPF';
 ELSE
 l_v := 'Did not get IPF';
 END IF;
 DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(l_v);
END;
SQL> @t abc
old 4: IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
new 4: IF UPPER('abc') = 'IPF' THEN
Did not get IPF
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> @t ipf
old 4: IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
new 4: IF UPPER('ipf') = 'IPF' THEN
Got IPF
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.John
