HOW TO RUN POWER SHELL SCRIPT UNDER SAFE MODE

hi
is is possible to run the power shell script (with Management instrument code ) in safe mode
if so then how to do it, please explain the procedure 

Hi CHELLAPPA,
Based on my research, we can use powershell in safe mode, and I also tested on server 2012 R2:
You can also open cmd and type "powershell" to use powershell script.
If there is anything else, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

  • How to run unix shell script from java web applet

    hi all
    i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
    i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
    how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
    thanks in advance

    I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

  • How to run a shell script from the GUI?

    This is probably a dumb question...
    How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

    The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
    Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
    Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
    ... it will tell you as much.

  • How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

    Hello Oracle People,
    I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
    Right now it is a simple shell script.
    Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
    I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
    -- cr_job10.sql
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
    job_name => 'my_backup_job',
    job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
    job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
    start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
    end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
    enabled => TRUE,
    comments => 'My Backup Job');
    END;
    I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
    I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
    The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
    /h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

    I googled on this:
    ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
    Google returned only 1 hit.
    There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
    of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
    for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
    Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
    run shell scripts from the scheduler?
    -Owen

    Hello people,
    I should have added this bit of information:
    "The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
    "The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
    I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
    which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
    I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
    Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
    $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extJob
    Currently I'm setup like this:
    bash sol root /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin 31 #

    On my system, the user 'nobody' has no shell so I cannot use nobody.
    I created a user named rman:

    Jared points out that rman needs access to extproc:

    -rwsr-x--- 1 rman dba 34468 Sep 21 2006 /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin/extproc

    $ rm /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt
    $
    I am focused on this error:
    ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
    And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
    What does 274662 mean?
    If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
    it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
    And of course,
    If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

  • How to run Unix Shell Scripts

    I hope someone knows Unix better me. I created a shell script to run some ap comp sci classes, and whenever I want to run the script, I'm forced to type:
    "./runMBS", while I want to just type "runMBS". Any suggestions will be nice.
    Thanks

    If you only type the name of a command (or script) the Unix shell only looks for those commands in the directories specified in the $PATH variable. If you provide a full or partial path to the command then the shell will run the command at that location... that's why including "./" in front of your shell script works... it tells the shell to run the command in the current directory (ie "./").
    You can either:
    - move your shell script to one of the directories specified in your $PATH variable
    or
    - add the directory containing your shell script to your $PATH
    To modify the $PATH so that it includes the directory your script resides in use something like this in your .bash_profile:
    <pre>
    PATH=$PATH:/path/to/scriptdir
    export PATH
    </pre>
    Although it's possible to include "./" in your PATH, it's not advisable and can present security problems. Read this explanation for more information.

  • Trying to run program off network location using GPO with Power shell script.

    Hello All,
    Not much of a script writer. I am giving it a shot.  My issue is that I need to run a application update across our network and I am trying to do it with as little hands on as possible. So I was planning to push a GPO with a power shell script in it
    to run the program with elevated privileges. 
    Little background:
    We are running on a domain and end users do not have admin rights.
    The application is stored on a share on our network that is open to all domain users.
    The installer user name and password is a temp one and will only be valid for the 30 min window when everyone logs in at the beginning of the day.
    So this is what I have so far.
    $username = "USER"
    $password = "PASSWORD"
    $credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
    Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDirectory \\Server\Folder\Folder1\Folder2\filder3\PSQLv11sp3_x32\
    But for some reason I keep getting :
    Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    At line:10 char:1
    + Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDir ...

    Any help you could give would be great.
    Thanks,
    jdfmonkey

    Hi jdfmonkey,
    Has anyone provided an answer to your original question?  I am trying to use Start-Process to launch a process using another logged in user's credentials, and am not able to get it working:
    $cred=Get-Credential
    start-process Process.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts-Credential$cred
    I get the same error that you mentioned:
    start-process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    At C:\Scripts\Process.ps1:2 char:1
    + start-process Process.exe -WorkingDirectory C:\Scripts -Credential ...

        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
    When I leave off the credentials:
    start-processProcess.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts
    It works correctly.  Does anyone have a solution to make this work correctly?
    Please ask your own question.  You issue is nothing like the current thread.  You clearly are using a user account that has no access to the folder.  It is a permissions issue.  It is not a scripting issue.
    If you need further help please start your own question.

  • Intermittent "Power Shell Script failed to run" after installing SQL MP 6.5.4.0

    We recently installed the SQL MP.  One thing I am struggling with is this "Power Shell Script failed to run" that occasionally comes up, but, not always on the same server, and not always at the same time. 
    It says it ran past the configured timeout of 300 seconds.

    Example.  ActiveRequestsDataSource.ps1 requires $computername, $connectionstring, $tcpport, $sql_wmi_namespace, and $servicename. 
    The computername is easy enough...  so is tcpport.  but, the others... not so much. 
    I am fairly certain I will be able to run these manually, if I just knew the parameters...  I am also fairly certain we are getting these because at the time of the check, resources on that server are tied up for one reason or another. 
    Can someone please help?  This is killing me. 

    Hi,
    As this issue happens after you installing SQL MP, so from my point of view, it seems like caused by the runas account for the SQL MP is not configured well, I would like to suggest you follow the article below to configure runas account for the management

  • Power shell script to run a Resuable workflow.

    Hi,
    We came across a scenario where we want to run a resuable workflow on all List items in a list. I am not sure if this can be acheived through power shell. Can any one please help me to run reusable workflows through power shell script on list items.
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Hello,
    Recently i executed below script for my VS workflow on list items, you can also try same on reusable WF.
    Basically you need to use "WorkFlowManager" and "WorkFlowAssociations " to find WF on list and then execute it.

  • How do I run a shell script via AppleScript?

    Seems obvious, "do shell script" but that doesn't work for me.
    I have an Automator app which runs a shell script, I'd like to take that into an AppleScript. My AS doesn't run the shell script. Perhaps "do shell script' is expecting the script to be located elsewhere? The rest of my AS runs fine, but the shell script doesn't.
    repeat with i from 1 to count of items in exportFolder
      do shell script
              "exiftool -overwrite_original -Photoshop:CopyrightFlag='True'"
      done
    end repeat
    As I say this works within an Automator app, what changes do I need to make it work in AppleScript?
    Thanks!

    What is 'exportFolder'? Where is it defined?
    Thanks, 'exportFolder' is defined earlier in the script. The purpose of the script - which is run from within Aperture - is to rename the selected images, export them (to the 'exportFolder'), reset the version name and, using ExifTool, add metadata which Aperture does not write to exported JPEGs.
    I have a version of this which works in Automator but I couldn't see any clues there on setting the path to ExifTool.
    Here's the full (modified) script. Currently it returns an error
    Result:
    error "No file specified" number 1
    so I now need to understand if I can use 'exportFolder' (defined at the start) to tell Finder which folder to use.
    -- Creating filenames by making Version Name  from the IPTC Headline and Filename (with hypens where spaces exist). The Aperture Version Name is used to create the file's name on export. Once exported the Aperture Version Name is reset to its original.
    tell application "System Events"
              set exportFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose an export folder")
    end tell
    tell application "Aperture"
              set theSel to (get selection)
              if theSel is {} then
                        error "Please select an image or two!."
              else
                        repeat with theImg in theSel
      -- Creating a new Aperture Version Name which will become the exported file's filename.
                                  tell theImg
                                            set headline to (get value of IPTC tag "Headline" of theImg)
                                            set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
                                            set theTextItems to text items of headline
                                            set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "-"
                                            set headline to theTextItems as string
                                            set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
                                            set objectName to (get value of IPTC tag "ObjectName" of theImg)
                                            set newVersion to (headline & "-" & objectName) as string
                                            set name of theImg to newVersion

                        export theSel using export setting "JPEG - Original Size" to exportFolder
      -- Resetting the Aperture Version Name back to filename using IPTC Title (which should be the file's filename without suffex).
                        repeat with theImg in theSel
                                  tell theImg
                                            set title to (get value of IPTC tag "ObjectName" of theImg)
