[HELP] Import PFX certificate from a command line

Dear all,
I am currently trying to import a user certificate with a .pfx extension. The certificate includes a private key as well as a password.
The import works perfectly well in GUI, but when I try to import via CERTUTIL (the specific one for firefox), I keep getting an error message:
Can certutil for firefox import .pfx files?
These are the steps we performed:
- Export certificate from the Windows store with a provate key and a password
- Script checks the %appdata% folder and parses the different profiles within the Firefox profile folder
- The folder ending with .default is targetted
- The script then runs certutil to import the certificate (exported in step 1) in the cert8.db found in the folder (parsed in step 3)
And we are blocked :(
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Ben

benjaidafufukil,
Did you script the export from the Windows store as well? Would it be possible to see a copy of your script? We need to do the same thing on about 2000 workstations.

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

Regkey Import via task sequence using command line. Running directly from DP.

I have a package that is going to run straight from the dp called JAVAHOME. Inside this package there is a regkey called JAVAHOME.REG
If I want to run it as part of a task sequence using a command line.
The run a command line step has use package called JAVAHOME checked.
Now to import it, in run a command line I use
cmd.exe /c reg.exe import javahome.reg
or
cmd.exe /c reg.exe import .\javahome.reg
I always get it wrong when running things directly from the DP.

To be sure about the behavior, I would use a batch file and use the %~dp0 variable. So, the command line in the batch file would be something like
reg.exe import %~dp0javahome.reg

Importing personal certificate from pfx file

Using iPhone configuration utility 3.5.0, Is it poosible to import a perosnal certificate using a .pfx file.
When I try to miport it only lists certificates in the personal certificate store on windows machine? It doesn't allow me to import a certificate from a file.

I am pretty sure that you can mail this certificate to an email account you can access on your iPad. Then when you open the certificate file it will be imported

Problem with running a java program from the command line

I have this code:
package pkg;
import jxl.*;
import java.io.File;
public class TestClass {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try{
               Workbook book = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("d:/testWorkspace/excFile.xls"));
               Sheet sheet = book.getSheet(0);
               String s=sheet.getCell(4, 2).getContents();
               System.out.println(s);
          }catch (Exception e){System.err.println(e);}
}I've wrote it in Eclipse, added jxl.jar to the buildpath, and it works fine.
Then I tried to run it from the command line and I did it like this:
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp \jxl.jar pkg.TestClassThe result was:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pkg/TestClass
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: pkg.TestClass
...but the file TestClass.class DOES exist in the folder d:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin\pkg\ and the file jxl.jar IS on the root of drive D (like I already wrote, it worked fine inside the Eclipse).
So, my question is: How to run this code from the command line?
I have no idea what went wrong.
Can someone help me, please?

The current directory is not implied in the classpath.
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp .;d:\ pkg.TestClassor
D:\testWorkspace\testProject\bin> java -cp .;d:\jxl.jar pkg.TestClassI always forget which is right since I never work with jars...

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.

Hi,
I've tried changing the index value to O in the main method, but I still get the same error.
I'm running this in NetBeans 4.1, and when I try to run the class I get the error as listed above.
Any ideas how to correct this error?
Thanks

Launching Rescue & Recovery from a Command Line

Question - I would like to know how I can launch Rescue & Recovery from a command line.
Issue that is prompting the question - My laptop was sitting in my computer bag overnight. The battery was fully charged. I BELIEVE that it was in suspend mode at the time. When I opened it in the morning, there was a message on the screen saying that a backup had not completed successfully. I then noticed that the battery had run down completely.
My Plan - I would like to launch Rescue & Recovery (as well as the Defrag utility) from Windows Task Scheduler. If I do, then all schedule tasks will be launched and controlled using the same process. Windows Task Scheduler also provides two key scheduling criteria that the IBM Rescue & Recoverry or the IBM Maintenance Manager utilities do not provide -
#1 - Run this task only when the PC is on AC power.
#2 - Run this task ony when the computer is idle (so that it doesn't slow down the PC if I happen to be working on it)
Background Concerns -
- Having a backup job automatically start when the computer is in my computer bag will run down my battery when I least expect it.
- The PC may could also be damaged due to overheating, since the sides of the computer bag block the ventilation holes.
Additional Info
- If I go to the ThinkVantage Productivity Center and select the Quick Link for "Backup Now" this will indeed launch a backup on demand. I assume that selecting this option is calling a specific executable file.
- However, the only two applicable executable files that I see in the C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery directory are "mr_gui.exe" and "wizrr.exe". Both of these files launch an interface that requires the user to make a selection. As a result, it doesn't look as if either of these files would work for unattended operation, unless there is some sort of switch that I can put in that will automatically start the backup process.
- I called the support line (only once so far), but that particular rep did not know of any way to launch Rescue & Recovery other than from the standard R&R user interfaces.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mathew

The correct way to invoke a JSP is to make a request to the Server.
Normally you would use your browser to do this.
On a unix system, you can use the wget command to invoke a url without using a browser.

I want to set password security on a pdf from the command line

I have a pdf file that is created and placed on a report server. I would like to run a batch cmd to set the security for that pdf based on a saved security policy. I will call the batch cmd file from a batch application. Can Acrobat XI handle this operation or do I need a third party tool. The pdf is created by BI Publisher (Peoplesoft).
Thanks,
Jay

You need to invoke your cmd manually, don't you? So, instead of opening the Terminal application, enter the command and press "Enter" you open Acrobat and click a button. It's a different manual step to start the process, but you need a manual step to start the process anyway. I do realize that you may have a bash/perl/python script that does more than just apply encryption but that's the capability that Acrobat has.
Regretfully, Acrobat JavaScript API does not provide functionality to encrypt with password. You can use JS to encrypt with certificates but [for unknown to me reason] not with passwords. Otherwise it could've written a JS script that encrypts, embed this JS in a separate PDF, open that PDF from a command line with your JS script executing on Open and have this LS script do all the work you need. Well, you can do that for certificate encryption but not for password encryption. I don't know why. And you cannot invoke an action from a JS either. Oh, well...

How can I print the test page with the Arabic type from the command line

Hi,
I have been trying to make the tool for printing the test page from the command line on the Arabic OS. I used "rundll32 printui dll printuientry" with "/k /n" options. My tool is to print the test page in all OS when pushing the
button.
Normally, in the Arabic Windows, the test page is printed with RTL type when printing the test page in the "Devices and Printers". But in my tool, the test page is printed with LTR type. I'm confused because of this result.
Is it possilbe to print the test page with RTL type when using the "rundll32 printui dll printuientry"? If it is possible, could anyone give me the hint or information for resolving?
Please check for me.

How I can set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line in Windows 7?

I need to set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line, ie without using the GUI.

'''-setDefaultBrowser''' is the correct command - you need the two capital letters.
Why Firefox 17.0.1? You would be missing a number of important security updates. Firefox 17.0.'''9''' is the current ESR release version.

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.

How to execute SAPGUI script from the command line?

I have created a script and would like to execute it from the command line. There must be some flag that goes with SAPGUI.EXE. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
the best way to do this is to run the script using the Windows Script Host, for example like this:
cscript myscript.vbs
This will execute the script which in turn can access SAP GUI. You may however have to make sure the script attaches to the correct session.
Best regards,
Christian

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

Executing Preview from a command line

Colleagues,
I have multi-page PDF documents (created with R [R-project.org]) from which I convert a single page to TIFF. Is there some means to execute this from a command line? Presumably, I would need arguments for (at least) input file name, output format, and pages.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've used it extract pict bitmaps from pdf screen shots in 10.3.9:
<pre style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 60ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">sips -s format pict picture.pdf -o picture.pct</pre>
But in my case I think the pict is embedded in the pdf.
