Get GPS location from the command line

Is there a utility to get the current GPS location from the command line? A quick search says `geo` will do it, but that appears to come with the android dev tools, which I'd rather not install right now. The reason I want to do this is to avoid hard-coding my coordinates in a call to `redshift`.

Hmm.. `gpspipe` gives me:
gpspipe: could not connect to gpsd localhost:2947, Unknown error -6(-6)
And `gpsd` gives me:
gpsd:ERROR: can't run with neither control socket nor devices
Do I need to be root for these applications? Alternatively, could I maybe just grab the timezone from /etc/localtime and use that? (though I guess that doesn't get close enough on longitude...)
You have to start gpsd from systemctl. And you can plug/unplug gps devices at will, so it can be enabled in systemctl whether or not an actual gps is always available.

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")

Help required - running a Java program from the command line

Hi,
I have a small non-graphical Java application, packaged into a Jar file. My program relies on classes in another (external) Jar file.
When I run the application from the IDE, everything works fine. However, when I try to run the application from the command line, I keep getting a NoClassDefFoundError for classes in the external jar.
Both the application jar file and the external jar file are in my root directory (C:\).
My command line call is as follows:
java -cp c:MyExternalLib.jar -jar MyApp.jar
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Walter

Accessing Runtime Mbeans from the command line.

Hi,
I just wanted to know if runtime Mbeans can be invoked from the command line.
I tried accessing the ExecuteQueueRuntime mbean from the command line but nothing ever comes back.I am able to retrieve configuration mbeans without errors.
Do I need to create the runtime mbeans before I can use them ?
Or I need to invoke these commands via server code only?
Thanks.

Can you post the command you are using? I just tried this and seems to work.

Problem - reading an abitrary string from the command line in basic swing

Hi,
I'm sorry if this problem is a bit basic, but I've only just started swing in Java. Anyway, I'm trying to adapt a basic swing version of the HelloWorld class. When I try to pass an abitrary string from the command line to the label within the class, I get the following error,
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
        at week2.HelloWorldSwing_commandline.main(HelloWorldSwing_commandline.java:31)
Java Result: 1I must be missing something because I can't see where the problem is in the following code.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWorldSwing_commandline {
    String message;
    private static void createAndShowGui(String message){
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(message);
        Container content = frame.getContentPane();
        content.add(label);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[ ] args) {
     createAndShowGui(args[1]);
}Any help would really be appreciated.

Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line? I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space. Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance. So
definitely no to the Compact command.
If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere.
When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
file, which is why your machine gets slower. If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it. Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

Can't send files to Trash from the command line

Hello,
as I'm programming in JAVA I must do all "special" operations as from the command line.
I found several solutions but they don't work for me, at least not in Mavericks.
I tried:
osascript -e "tell app \"Finder\" to delete POSIX file \"/Users/me/totrash\""
I got:
21:60: execution error: Finder got an error: Handler can’t handle objects of this class. (-10010)
I tried:
echo "tell application \"Finder\" move POSIX file \"/Users/me/totrash\" to trash end tell | osascript
I got:
26:30: syntax error: Expected end of line but found command name. (-2741)
Is there any working AppleScript way to send a file to the Trash Bin?
Thanks in advance.
;JOOP!

Near ....... I did not misspell 'me', I was in a different directory after all my experimenting .....
Curse those who write cryptic error messages ...
Bless those who still get it.
So, thanks.
;JOOP!

Hot Deploying Servlets from the command line

Is it possible to hot deploy a servlet from the command line?

Use the mbocutil command line tool located in:
server root/bin/msg/admin/bin
You can create a folder with spaces by using quotes like thus:
./mboxutil -c "user/Tuser/Test Folder"

Running a jar from the command line

I am trying to run a Jar from the command line. I have a number of classes in a package called "trainnn".
I put all the classes into a jar
jar cvf name.jar trainnn\*.classI then creat a file called mainClass.txt with the line (with a blank return line after it, where QueryMatch has the main). This file was placed in the same directory as the package and the jar file
Main-Class: QueryMatch
then
jar cmf mainClass.txt network.jar G:/TrainNN/src/trainnn/QueryMatch.classthis worked fine.....but it is from here I have problems when I try run the jar
java -jar network.jarbut get this error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: QueryMatch
I cant figure out this error, I have tried specifying the exact path in the mainClass.txt file but that didnt work.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To start a java app in the command line with "java -jar yourJarFile.jar", the jar needs to have a mainfest file "MANIFEST.MF" in a folder called "META-INF". The manifest file would have to contain the name of your starting class, e.g. it could look like thisManifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.yourCompany.yourProject.YourClass Hope that helps. Cheers, HJK

Starting the nzrView in listen mode from the command line...

I want to be able to start the nzrViewer in listen mode when I log into windows and then be able to accept an invite for a collaboration session. When I added a shortcut to the "nzrViewer.exe /listen 5550" to my Startup Folder, it launches the Remote Listener just fine, but when I someone invites me to collaborate a Remote Session, I get an error message "Ticket not provided for Rights Authentication."
I believe that the problem is when I launch the Viewer from the command line, I'm not authenticated to the Zen server, so it can't verify my Rights.
Does anyone have a better way to do this? Or do I have to log into ZCC and launch the "Remote Management Listener" from there?

There has been some updates in the documentation for 10.2.2 about remote control from cmd line.
Check it out, maybe there is a solution to your problem.

Invoking XSLT from the Command Line with JRE1.4 and JRE1.5

When I invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line with "java.exe org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" it worked fine with JRE1.4.
Then I installed JRE1.5.0_09. The class "org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process" was moved to "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process". But when I call it with "java.exe com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main". When I look into the Process class there is no "main", but a "public static void _main(String argv[])".
The "JAXP Compatibility Guide for the J2SE Platform, versions 1.4 and 1.5" on "http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/jaxp/JAXP-Compatibility_150.html" chapter "Invoking XSLT from the Command Line" claims it should work.
Is there no more chance to invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line? Why is "main" renamed to "_main"? Is the documentation wrong or is this a bug?

Passing arguments to osascript from the command line

I'm just learning how to use the Terminal at the moment and was wondering if anyone knew how to pass parameters from the command line to Applescript via osascript. I'm trying to use this as a function embedded in my .profile file so I don't have to type out the whole line each time I want to use an Applescript.
Just as an exercise, I'm trying to get osascript to pass a string of text to a dialog box using 'tell application "Finder" to display dialog "$1" '. But all this does is open a dialog box with "$1" in it! Anyone know how to get this to work?

Running powewrpc programs from the command line

I am trying to run a powerpc application (quicken) from the command line. I want to log into the mac over my local network and run a powerpc program, but I get the following when I try it:
cannot execute binary file
I am logging in via ssh, and am running the X11 package from a different unix system which also runs X11.
How do I get the application to execute? (it runs fine from the desktop).

I am sitting at a Sun Solaris machine (it runs X11R6
and Matif). I want to run Quicken, which is on the
mac mini. I log into the mac with ssh -X. I find the
Quicken program, but the permissions are set to 644
(read, but not execute). If I change the permissions
and try to run the program I get teh error message
"cannot execute binary file".
The window interface of the Mac is not X11: so you cannot output it on another X system. Is is not like connecting to another Un*x system.
Said that, you should be able to launch a program, but you cannot see the output. However, usually Macosx applications are bundles with some executable inside, not directly an executable file: .app files are folders, not files. In order to launch such kind of apps, you have to use the open command I suggested in the previous post.
I have no idea what VNC is. If this is how I can do
this, then please provide me a link to it.
VNC is a screen sharing application, just like Windows Remote Desktop. You may install a VNC server on your mac mini, and then connecting with a VNC client you will see all your computer screen as if you were there. It is cross platform, so no matter which is your client (including mobile phones).

Running a function from a powershell script from the command line

Rather than creating several scripts each with one function, I have one script with has several functions.... I would like to call the script and select the function i want to use from the command line.
so far, if i change directory to that of the script i can call the function by doing this:
cd c:\myscripts
. .\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
this works fine.... i have also tried, what I would like to achieve is calling it like this
c:\myscripts\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
however, i am trying to run this as part of an MDT task sequence, my command line looks like this and using the ; myfunction at the end doesn't work.
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass %SCRIPTROOT%\CustomScripts\mytestscript.ps1; myfunction
how can i adapt my command line so that it will successfully call the function within my script?
thanks
Steve

Rename the file from ps1 to psm1 and create a powershell module that contain multiple functions. A module will autoload like the built-in modules.
Placement of the psm1 file is important for Powershell to find and autoload it.
The file name and folder name must be the same, for example MyModule.psm1 should be in the folder:
user\documents\windowspowershell\modules\mymodule
Windows PowerShell Modules
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878324(v=vs.85).aspx
PS C:\> get-childItem env:PSModulePath
Name Value
PSModulePath C:\Users\User\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\
