Issue with Pasting to Command Line/PowerShell

Hi,
We are unable to paste text from an application other than Command Prompt (CP) or Windows PowerShell (PS) to CP or PS.
The issue is only occurring on one of several Windows Server 2008 VMs.
The server has been fully patched and restarted since the issue first started to occur.
Copying and pasting text inside CP/PS and between other CP/PS windows works.
Copying and pasting text from CP/PS to other applications works.
UAC has never been turned on.
We attempted to troubleshoot via different Administrative and non-Administrative users.
We tried a clean boot - antivirus is not causing the issue.
Obviously performing a system recovery is an option. We can copy and paste text to PS ISE from applications, which is an acceptable solution for PS users. However, it is still unacceptable for CP users.
Thanks,
NuxCase

cguan,
Entering cmd /k < clip results in the following output: "The system cannot find the file specified."
I recognize that clip.exe is in the C:/Windows/System32 folder. I opened this directory, tried the command, and received the same result. Entering this as cmd /k < clip.exe provides an interesting response. I reproduced the output on
other servers for each instance described above while only copying "Hello world" in Notepad. The following is the interesting response from cmd /k < clip.exe:
C:\Windows\System32>cmd /k < clip.exe

Just activated BlueAnt S4 with my iPhone4 and having an issue with the Phone Commands

Just activated BlueAnt S4 with my iPhone4 and having an issue with the Phone Commands - as I have multiple numbers for people (ie: iPhone, Work, Home), is it the BlueAnt that is having the issues or the iPhone? Tried to eliminate info on my partner's contact in with only 2 contact numbers (iPhone, Home) and one or the other is totally screwing up. Seems, from BlueAnt website, that it would be the iPhone contacts...and the guessing begins?!! Anyone else have similar issues when BlueAnt S4 was paired and giving 'Phone Commands'?? Any suggestions would be beneficial as I've spent way too much time on the web looking for a good fix/answer. Thanks.

How do I restart the SNMP agents with the original command line options?

I'm creating an application that changes the SNMP trap target configuration files and then restarts the SNMP agent. I'm currently working with the mibiisa agent. I want to make sure that I restart the service with the new trap targets but with the original command line options. How can I restart the mibiisa service with the same command line options that it originally loaded with?

It is not "Network Time" that is the problem, but actually "SystemStarter." SystemStarter is an interim kludge to enable the work or the old StartupItems until they can be converted to LaunchDaemons or LaunchAgents controlled by launchd. Launcd calls SystemStarter to launch all the unconverted StartupItems. ntpd is now under the control of launchd directly.
Launchctl is the command to load and unload the plist files, but I don't think it has a mechanism to restart a daemon.
There are start and stop commands in launchctl, but the man page indicates that they are for debugging purposes.
I also imagine you could just kill the ntp daemon and let it restart with new settings. It is most likely set to "keepAlive" so that it will automatically restart.

Initiate Application Installation from App Catalog via Command Line / PowerShell

Hey Guys -
We have a single, fairly extensive OSD task sequence which covers systems for all departments. Due to it being a single TS for all, PC Lab techs must manually install some apps after it finishes via the Application Catalog. In past environments,
I've used MDT's UDI Wizard to create a frontend where techs could select additional software they wanted installed during the TS and it worked great! I'm trying to get something like that approved now, but in the meantime told the techs I'd come up with
a temporary solution to make their job easier.
Enter WPI (Windows Post Installer.) Back in the days before I used SCCM OSD and relied in Acronis images (yuck), I used a the WPI tool which only ran once - at the first login - even before the desktop
loaded. It's highly customizable and basically shows a single window which lists any applications or scripts (in groups) which you have configured. You place a checkmark beside each one you want to install, click the "Install" button,
then watch it's installer frontend install each of the selected apps. Once done, it either restarts the PC or exists to the desktop. For each application I can add, I'm provided with a few options to
install it. Obviously, an installation command line string field, but also a few more like installation order, requirements, and dependencies.
My Question
Each of the applications I've listed are in our Application Catalog and are advertised to All Users. Even though I could simply point the installer string to the app's source path and use the same string that the SCCM Application uses, I've been asked
to do something different. Instead, I'm trying to find a command line string which when run would perform the same action as if a user had selected to install an Application from the Application Catalog.
My thoughts are that if this is possible, it would probably be in the form of a PowerShell string - not just a basic command line one. Since WPI has a frontend which shows the progress of each app's installation progress as well as overall progress,
it's designed for the installation strings to install the app silently. Therefore, I would much prefer my solution run silently as well if possible.
So... does anyone have any idea for how I can make this happen? Thanks!
In case it makes a difference or answers any questions, below are two screenshots showing most of the fields and options which may be used to configure how an application installs in WPI. I couldn't include the Dependencies one since I could only
attach two images to my post. Also, the manual for WPI is embedded in the application's
download (ZIP) and not a page on their site. For the examples below, I used Google Chrome, but didn't configure anything besides the application's name:
Application Detail Options
Application Command Options
Ben K.

From what I'm reading, you are working towards MDT but it's not approved yet, so the goal is to:
Deploy a "bundle" of applications as painlessly as possible without using UDI to make customizations quick.
Lets talk options then.
Option 1: If machines types are in a unique OU or security group, create a collection for that and set these applications to mandatory install. After initial deployment, the provisioner can drop the computer in the proper OU or group and you're
good to go. Downside: collections refresh plus client check-in makes this less than instant.
Option 2: Orchestrator. You can write a runbook that will approve and push apps. You can then use the Orch console front end or a more friendly sharepoint/SM portal to push things out like a Manager would approve apps. Downside: if
not already deployed, there's no way they would approve that infrastructure if they are hesitant about MDT/UDI :)
Option 3: PowerShell and WMI. This should be doable ... but I've never tried it. It looks like you're headed down the right path ... but i guess my question is: if you can't have UDI when do get to pick the app? Are you planning
to write a full multi-box for them to check their apps after the fact? In that case ... just have the appcontroller URL pop up on first login ... might be easier than reinventing the wheel.

Error while running a Discoverer Workbook with parameter from command line

I am trying to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls on to my local machine. I could do it fine for a simple workbook, but if I add a parameter(madatory) to the workbook and run it from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for, I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr.exe /connect user/password@database /apps_user /apps_responsibility "System Administrator" /eul EUL_US /open C:\Disco\Test.DIS /sheet Testsheet /parameter Period Jan-07 /export xls C:\Disco\X.xls /batch
Parameter value is entered in correct format(Jan-07).
When I removed /batch from this to see if I get any error, Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Did anybody come across this issue before?

Hello,
If you have a few minutes, Windows is also aborting for me:
the differences are, my situation is:
a) am running the command line from a .bat file
b) am NOT running with parms, want the discoverer query to come up for the user
c) am running a query from the database
i am signing in as myself BUT running a query that was created by a generic user called SREG
c) if i run the .bat file from Windows Explorer, the query opens fine
d) if i execute the .bat file from within Microsoft Access using the shell command,
the query opens and then aborts RIGHT BEFORE the parm screen would display
e) btw, if i modify the .bat file, to run a query from MY database signon, then (d) - running .bat file
from vb using SHELL command works
Do you have a ideas as to why (d) does not work? I would be very grateful for your time, tx, sandra
this is what i posted yesterday, tx: Re: Running Discoverer command line

Help with char and command line arguments

I am writing a program that takes 2 command line arguments (such as 4 b, or 3 4, etc.). It uses the first argument to determine the height of a triangle (how many rows high), and the second is the character with which the triangle is drawn.
My problem is I tend to code backwards - go for the bigger part and then figure out the smaller things. So, I've written a program that prints out this triangle, BUT I can't figure out how to get the command line arguments into it properly. A number works fine because I can:
size = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
but what do I do if the second argument is a character? Args is a String array (I've been fighting with it for the past 4 hours, so I KNOW its a String array) - so how can I get a char to be read as args[1]?
Here is my code before adding in the second argument (the char):
public class Triangle
public static final void main(String[] args)
int size;
if (args.length > 0)
try
size = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
catch(NumberFormatException e)
System.out.println("Input Error");
createFilledTriangle(size);
System.out.println();
public static void createFilledTriangle(int size)
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
for(i = size, j = 1; i > 0; i--, j +=2)
printChar(" ", i);
printChar("*", j); <-----Instead of using * I want to use the second command line arg
System.out.println();
private static void printChar(String str, int total)
for(int i = 0, i < total; i++)
if(i%2 == 1)
System.out.print(str);
else
System.out.print(" ");
Thank you for any help in advance!

I was sure i send it the other day, i probably send it to the wron guy.
This will give you more idea about drawing.

How to change "open with" defaults via command line?!?

folks,
i know that if i get info on a file -- in this case, a filemaker 5.5 file -- i can choose the default "open with" settings and apply those settings to all files of that kind. see the attached image for what i mean.
but how do i do that via the command line?
thus far, here's what i've got: i know that i can open a document called "scrubbing shell.sh" on my desktop WITH either MS Word of TextEdit by calling:
open -a textedit /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
or
open -a Microsoft\ Word /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
no sweat. BUT....how do i set the defaults so that it ALWAYS opens with that app in the future when double-clicking via the GUI?
many thanks, ya'll!

Hi David,
   OK, I investigated the new format and treatment. It appears that the first entry in the property list file that matches the file being opened wins. The Finder may still honor the new format; when I moved my old Panther file into Tiger it seemed to work. However, in other ways, the Finder doesn't recognize the old format, which is the format of the FileMaker entries you posted.
   The Finder puts all of the new format entries at the beginning of the property list file. If you change a preference that was controlled by an old format entry, the Finder won't edit that entry. What it will do is to create a new entry in the new format closer to the beginning of the file than any of the old-format entries. SInce the new entry comes first, the old one doesn't apply. If you then edit the preference and change it back to what it was before, the Finder will edit the new entry. Consider the following sequence of events and commands:
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
I change all GIF files to be opened by GraphicConverter instead of Preview, which is an old setting in the old format.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<      <dict>
<         <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<         <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<         <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<         <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
<      </dict>
Then I change all the GIF files to be opened by Preview again.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<       <dict>
<          <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<          <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<          <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
<       </dict>
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
408c408
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
          <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
   Note that I had to change the file to text after every change because the Finder converted the file to binary format every time it edited it. I didn't have to logout or reboot; the property list file change less than a second after the preference was set. I'm guessing that because you were just looking at the old-format entry, you missed the real changes to your property list file. Did it change from text to binary format? Try the command line tools that I used above.
   Note that this means that it matters where you put your entries in the property list file if you edit it.

VBScript which is called with Arguments from Command Line

Hi There.
I have been tasked to create a VBScript which needs to accomplish the following:
It needs to be called from a command line using 4 different arguments, the arguments in order as follows:
-   Drive letter including colon
Warning threshold in percentage
Warning threshold in GB remaining
Recipient email address
I need to be able to set up a scheduled task, to run this script, but at the same time I need to be able to specify multiple drive letters as separate steps but on a single task. The script needs to automatically run every 4 hours, starting at 06:00AM
in the morning and running no later than 22:00 at night.
The end results, need to then be e-mailed to the Recipient which is specified in Argument (3).
Following is my current script, it is not complete as I am currently pulling my hair out due to having a lack of knowledge of VBScripting.... :( The current script also loops every 10 minutes or so, and uses the incorrect way of sending the results,
we would like to use POSTIE.EXE to send the mail as we would want to eliminate web traffic (Microsoft Schema's) in this script.

Issue with creating a new line in Glossary widget

I'm using Captivate 6 and have an issue with trying to display text on a new line in the description field of the Glossary widget. In playback, a carriage return displays as \n
I read in another discussion (from early last year), that this issue had been resolved and that the fix would be shared soon on the captivate blog for non-subscription users. Does anyone know if the fix has been shared yet - I can't find it anywhere?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Issues with Executing Javascript command in Captivate

Hi,
I am having issues with executing javascript for a button in adobe captivate 5. Let me explain what I am trying to do. I am working on a WBT that has three skill checks throught the course. These skill checks are not graded or tracked for completion. I currently have an image button that has the command "Open another project" The first image button is pointed to SkillCheck1 and I have the html file and swf file in the published root folder. This currently works fine.
However I want to use javascript to open a new window 800X600 with not toolbars at the top. I got this part working with the code below:
window.open('http://www.adobe.com','mywin',
'left=40,top=40,width=800,height=600,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
My only problem is, once the popup opens, my WBT goes to a page that says [object] and thats it. I am uploading two images to show what I have. Can someone help resolve my issue of the WBT going to

Ok so I took this link and viewed over it. I am new to Javascript and know very little about it. Therefore this script kind of makes no sense to me.
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
<a href="javascript:myOpen('page.htm','windowName','height=100,width=100')">text link</a>
I chose the option to exectute javascript. Does captivate need all of this including <script language=JavaScript"> Here is how I edited the script. Should I make any changes to what is in bold?
var windowHandle = '';
function myOpen(url,name,attributes) {
windowHandle = window.open(url,name,attributes);
<a href="javascript:myOpen('http://www.adobe.com','Adobe Website','height=600,width=800')">text link</a>

Add protocol args with quotes via command-line

I am creating a small script to insert objects into the SGD databases (ENS) via command-line and perl. I have some difficulties with protocol-arguments which require quotes (").
For example:
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella object new_windowsapp --name "o=applications/cn=new_winapp" --width 600 --height 800 --protoargs "<protocol-arguments>"
The problem comes when I need to add multiple protocol-arguments with quotes like: -dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory"
Can someone tell me how to add those arguments including the quotes?
Thanks,
Remold Krol | Everett

Try to use the single quote ( ' )
say, for instance
protoargs 'dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory" '
That works for me.
Regards.

How to play with javascripts from command line?

This is a problem that I always have no clue how to deal with.
To begin with, take a look at this page: http://jsharer.com/file/1345737.htm
If you click on "[TUTHE@ManYv][D`z][FLCL][05][H264_Vorbis][E4273181].mkv", after a little while a little window pops up and if you right click on the "点击此处开始下载", you can copy the direct download link.
I previously used a simple bash script using curl to parse direct download links from this site. I like to do it at command line. It was easy because the link used to be directly shown in the page source code (though I had to call curl twice for it, it was fine.)
But now I can't. It's all javascript. I ain't got no idea how to deal with this kind of stuff. I made my attempt to look at the page source, all I can tell is that the <div id="download_block"> part and the <div id="lord_content"> line seems to be important.
I want to use my old good command line instead of click click click!
Can somebody help me with this? Or please just give me some hints. It'd be fully appreciated. Thanks!

If you know python, the package community/python-mechanize lets you automate a lot of this kind of thing. You can tell it to go to url so-and-so, simulate a click on the third link matching regexp such-and-such, preserving cookies the original page gave you, and so on.
Has made most of my webpage scraping a hell of lot easier.
EDIT: but I don't know whether it processes embedded Javascript, perhaps not.

Issue with KeyEvent for Command Prompt

Using below code, when Event keys like “F7” are executed on the application to test while running from openscript it works fine.
Whereas if the same script is executed using command line as below, then “F7” is executed for command prompt itself instead of application to test.
“C:\OracleATS\openScript\runScript.bat \\10.184.82.45\SharedRepository\Mysharedscript\Mysharedscript.jwg -delayPercentage 1”
Code =>
ft.typeKeyCode(KeyEvent.VK_F7);

Try using
ft.keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_F7)
ft.keyUp(KeyEvent.VK_F7)

Screen Issues with MacBook Pro (Static Lines)

Hey guys. I aam having problems with my Screen/Display on my Macbook Pro.
Static lines appear aprox 1/3 of the way in from the right side. The lines run horizontally about 1 inch in length and running vertically all the way down the display. A screen shot shows a normal working display. Took a pic of the problem:
I cannot run hardware tools. My computer did not come with a disc and I know they are only a shipping charge but I do not have even $5. I am a student and this is my only way to do my schoolwork. The Screen (inner display and outer protective screen) was replaced by Apple in May '12. The 1 yr warranty ran out in June '12. When the screen was replaced it started doing this as well, but had not gotten this bad. There are now 2 where there was only one yesterday. I am wondering if it may be the cable as moving the display often fixes or produces the problem. I know the cable is not very expensive and not to difficult to replace.
Here is the info on my Mac:

Machine Model: MacBookPro9,1
Name: MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 15 inch
Family name: A1286
Model Number: MD103

Screen size: 15.4 inch
Screen resolution: 1440x900 pixels
Colour: Aluminium

Production week: 13 (April)
Model introduced: 2012
Memory - flavour: DDR3-S-1600
Memory - number of slots: 2
Memory - maximum total: 16GB
Memory - largest module: 8GB
Factory: C0 (Quanta Computer (Susidiary = Tech Com))

It is getting worse in the sense that it is occuring more often and taking longer to resolve. Moving the laptop lid/display would typically fix the prblem in the past but now it is hit or miss. Even vibrations will cause the issue to occur or resolve. We are leaning more towards the issue being a cable and not the display. Since taking a screenshot produces a pic without issues I would gather that the video card is fuctioning properly. I welcome any comments on this.
