Executed wrong command, how bad is it?

In my haste to complete a task when I was attempting to run rd /s c:\$recycle.bin, I used "tab" to fill in and ended up running rd /s c:\$recovery.  The machine (virtual) continued to run, I applied updates, noted the all programs had been
removed form the start menu, program menu, etc.  After updates rebooted, machine failed to start.
OS = Server 2008 R2 Standard
Vm Host = ESX 5.5
Can it be salvaged?
Thanks

Might try a startup repair.

    2. How to override file permissions after placing the file ????? -- Yet to implement.
    Please suggest me how can i accomodate 2nd step.
    Thanks,

    If by "execute shell commands" you mean actually
    running a shell process (as opposed to just forking
    and executing specified programs) then I'd advise
    against it. The last thing you want is for the
    clients to be running arbitrary commands on the
    server. You don't want to make it possible for the
    client to run "rm -fr /" on your server.Right.
    I was assuming (perhaps with more optimism than is really warranted) that the OP was going to be in complete control of which commands were executed--that there'd be a small, fixed set in response to certain user actions.

  • How can I connect to a UNIX server to execute a command?

    How can I connect to a UNIX server and execute a command using PowerShell? My shell script is sitting on one server, while the UNIX box is on another.
    also, I don't like the idea of hardcoding a username/password within the script file in order to do so.
    -Nothing to see. Move along.

    You will need a library to handle SSH connections.
    I'm using SSH.NET, you can find info on it here : http://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/SSH_from_PowerShell_using_the_SSH.NET_library
    It has a bit of a learning curve but the web site has some fairly good tutorials.

  • How to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portl

    how to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portlet

    What you have done is perfectly right. The password file doesn't have anything else apart from the password
    for example in your case
    $echo password > /tmp/password.txt
    However I remember that in windows install, the Application server used to wait for a user's input when a deploy was to be done for the first time. So Can you read the Release notes or the Readme file which has come with windows.
    The solution was,
    manually use asadmin command of application server to deploy some war (any webapp will do), at this time, a question will be prompted to accept a certificate. once this is done, deploy portlet should work fine!!!

  • How to run an executable from command-line

    I'm learning how to use the Terminal and I got stuck in a silly thing (I suppose it is). How can I run an executable file from command-line in Terminal?
    For example: I have a file named "Hello" in the folder /sample. If I use the ls command (ls sample), I can see the file Hello. Then I move to the directory (cd /sample) and try to run the file Hello (typing "Hello") but I got "command not found" message.
    If I drag the Hello file from Finder to Terminal and hit Return, it runs perfectly. And if I type the full path to the file (even if I'm already inside its directory), it also runs.
    So, my doubt is if there is any command to run an executable from command-line.
    Thanks

    I took the trouble of reading *man bash* and it explains the issue. to add the current directory to PATH you need to add an empty path to PATH like this
    PATH=$PATH::
    you can add it to ~/.bash_profile so that it's executed automatically when you start bash. I suspect the linux system you are talking about had this set up by default or had it added to PATH in /etc/profile which defines PATH globally.

  • How to execute Linux command from Java app.

    Hi all,
    Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
    Thanks a lot,

    You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
    If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
    You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
    java.io.BufferedReader br =
    new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
    getInputStream()));
    while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • How execute a command on the Console from our prgm

    can any body let me know how do we execute a command on the Console from our prgm . . on a windows platform ..
    eg. a simple commant like "dir" or "cls" . . or whatever . . .
    i heard that it can be done by calling the native methods . . but how is that done???

    thankx for the quick reply . .
    for instance i wanna take a file from my local machine . .
    a c++ source code . . (myfile.cpp)
    i want to execute that on the prompt using c:\> tcc myfile.cpp
    and all these i mean reading the file from the HDD and giving it to the console and getting the output everything should be done by my prgm . .
    so basically the command which i usually run on the prompt i should be able to pass that command from my java prgm to the console and get that thing executed . .
