Running Spotlight Query at command line

Hi all-
I'm trying to run a saved search from the command line using "mdfind". The search is to list all the images created today. I created the saved search using the Finder, then opened the file and extracted the query, but while the Finder version works perfectly, I can't for the life of me get the command line version to work, it simply returns nothing.
Here's the command I'm trying to run:
mdfind "(((_kMDItemGroupId = 13) && InRange(kMDItemContentCreationDate,$time.today,$time.today(+1)))) && (true)"
Any help would be appreciated.
Ron

I figured it out....the trick is to use single quotes, not double. So use this instead:
mdfind '(((_kMDItemGroupId = 13) && InRange(kMDItemContentCreationDate,$time.today,$time.today(+1)))) && (true)'
and it should work (posted so someone else may find this useful)

To run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge

Hi,
How to run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge?
Usually with tns, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@tns".
with odbc, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@odbc:DSN"
Please specify, what is command line arguments for jdbc-odbc bridge driver?
Environment : Oracle 9i Report Builder on WinNT
Database : Sybase

Ramanan

Hello Ramanan,
Report Builder : connect JDBC Query in Report Builder is to through Connection Dialog in JDBC Query Editor. User can use a Sign on parameter (can use, default : P_JDBCPDS or can create new) to connect to JDBC Data Source. Connection once made will be mentioned and will be reused through out Reports Builder.
JDBC PDS allows user to connect one or more same or different kind of databases.
While running report through runtime or Server, user can pass the sign on parameter(connection string) value, like any other user parameter.
Syntax for connection string : <username>/<password>@databaseURL . The syntax of database part of connection string depend on the type of JDBC Driver used to connect to Data Source while designing the JDBC Query. databaseURL refer to the location of the database and its format depend on the JDBCPDS river selected in design time while creating the JDBC Query.
rwrun eg :
rwrun report=jdbc_odbc.rdf destype=file desname=output.html desformat=html P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database
Server eg :
http://server.com:8888/servlet/RWServlet?server=MyReportServer+report=jdbc_odbc.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=html+P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database

SCCM 2012 - Problems running vbscript or simple command line

Hey everybody, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get SCCM 2012 to deploy some very simple Vbscripts or even a simple command line. I need to deploy some registry fixes across the company as well as a Vbscript that uninstalls some old applications.
If I run these scripts/commands outside of SCCM everything works fine, inside of SCCM it always shows "succeeded" but it doesn't actually run correct on the client.
What's confusing to me is the use of distribution points when you're running a command line that doesn't actually have any source files. For instance this is what I'm trying to run "regedit /s \\servername\folder\registryfix.reg". I've also tried
a similar bat file as well with the same result. I've tried it with a source folder specified, I've tried it using Run Program From Server or Download locally. I've gone through everything I can think of but can't get it to work.
Similarly with a vbscript I'm trying "cscript.exe /s \\servername\folder\uninstallapps.wsf" and various different settings in the package deployment.
I'm really confused here guys so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What I have found is that if you try and run the REG.EXE command line directly, either as a program or via a CMD/BAT file, the 64-bit redirection will occur. So, if you had something like this in a program or via a CMD/BAT file that ran against a 64-bit
system:
REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Test /v Test /d Test
You would end up with this registry entry existing under:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Test
That's because SCCM uses the 32-bit launcher to take care of this and redirection occurs - You can see this via the "CCM32BitLauncher.log" on the client.
To work around this problem, I have done the following:
On a reference machine, create/export the registry entry I want into a *.reg file - An example export of "Test.reg" for the above mentioned registry entry would look something like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Test]
"Test"="Test"
2. Stick our "Test.reg" file in a source share, create a package with the share as the source content, and distribute it
3. Create a program for the package with a command line like this:
REG IMPORT Test.reg
This is obviously not as clean as having a command line with a package to distribute, but I find it works fine for me and gets around the redirection for registry entries.

Run App Engine through command line but have it show up in Process Monitor

We are trying to run Application Engine through command line and have it show up in the Process Monitor.
We have successfully ran the Application Engine through command line. We also can successfully run the Application Engine through PIA.
Only when you run the AppEng through PIA it goes through the Process Scheduler and shows up in the Process Monitor.
We would like to be able to do this through command line as well. Has anyone done this before?

I'm not sure if it is (easily) doable.
=> Fire a process through the front end appl is nothing but insert few rows in process scheduler tables settings (PSPRCSRQST, PSPRCSQUE), then the process scheduler is taking information from there every x seconds and eventually run the command (on the process scheduler server) keeping an eye on the process result in the tables to post the result.
=> Fire psae through command line (or pssqr) bypass the process scheduler, you can run it from any client... so even without any clue about Process Scheduler server or even without Process Scheduler at all (cf. the very first AE running during an installation is VERSION without anything else than the client).
So finally, your AE program has no clue where it should run outside the client you are fired the command from (i.e. on the batch server as it is running when you are fired the same AE through the front end application), nothing more about the process scheduler configuration file, and where the output files should be posted.
Maybe not by running the AE from the command line, but by simulating the actions as it would be from the front end application, for instance by inserting in the tables whatever you want to run... but it sounds odd. Probably some developer might have done this before... but this should be reconsidered by Peopletools version/patch level (or through CI ?)

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.

Is it possible to run Acrobat3D from the command line?

I'd like to know if it is possible to run Arobat3D from the command line in batch mode. I'm interested in knowing if this is possible in either a windows or unix environment.
My objective is to convert CAD data e.g. CATIA V5 or DXF etc to PDF, in batch mode without using the Acrobat3D interface itself.
I know that it's possible to run a batch process from within Acrobat3D itself, therefore one solution may be to invoke those batch processes from the command line.
I've looked through the other listings on this forum and seen this question asked previously, but I've not seen any responses that suggest this is even a feasible concept.

As of now, it's not possible in the cmd-mode to just remain connected and not stream.
But the reason you want to do that is because of the long start-up time. That 20 sec time can be divided into:
1. launch time
2. time to start encoding (after pressing start button) -> cannot be reduced even if 'connected only' feature is available in cmd-line
Below are tips you can use to reduce this 20 sec of time:
1. Lesser the no. of devices connected to the system, shorter is the launch time. Disable the devices which are not to be used in the session.
2. Try using device indexes (0, 1, 2, etc) instead of device names in the profile. Indexes might change after you disable some of the devices.
3. Use the profile with correct settings, to avoid any validation errors.
4. Higher the video size, higher is the overall time. Small sizes take lesser time to start.
Let me know if you see any improvement in the startup time.

How can I run my program on command line?

I get a message saying "Exception in thread

Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter the width of the rectangle: ");
width = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println("Please enter the height of the rectangle: ");
height = scan.nextInt();
while (count <= width)
if(width < 1 || width > 30)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The numbers must be in range");
if(height < 1 || height > 30)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The numbers must be in range");
for (int star = 1; star <= height; star++)
System.out.print("*");
System.out.println();

}

What doesn't work?
When you type javac Rectangle.java do you get error messages? Does it create the file Rectangle.class? If yes, type java Rectangle and your program should run. If you get an error post it but if you followed earlier advice you should be able to solve the problem yourself.

If this app. is normally hosted on wwwgate0.mot.com then it can 'phone home' to the server without further permission, but if you are running it from the command line, that might not be the codebase anymore.
If you wish to do 'local testing' of such an app., I would recommend setting up a server like Tomcat on the local machine, and serving the test app. directly off that.

Run test case from command line

Hi All,
Working environment : VS 2013 professional
Project type : Unit test project for (Windows 8.1 and Windows phone 8.1)
I have a set of unit test cases and want to run it on command line.I tried MSTest.ext and vstest.console.exe for running test case but not succeed.
command :  MSTest.exe /testcontainer:path of project dll
command :  vstest.console.exe path of project dll
Type of Error
Error : Unit test case for windows store and windows phone app can't be run outside appcontainer.
Error : No tests to execute
command :  MSTest.exe /testcontainer:path of appx
command :  vstest.console.exe path of appx
Error : root certificate error
I just want to run windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1 run test cases from command line.
Thanks in advance.

Hi vicky2468,
Based on your issue, as far as I know that if we want to run unit test for windows store and windows phone app using mstest.exe or vstest.console.exe in command line, you will need to execute the .appx instead of the dll in command line.
In addition, I tried to run the appx for unit test in command line,
but I found that I also get the same issue as yours. I could not execute the appx for unit test in command line successfully. But if we run it with VS IDE in Test
Explorer windows, it seems that it works fine.
So I suggest you can submit a feedback for this issue, to get the issue confirmed and diagnose by product team, would you please create connect report for it? You will get email notification for update.

Our costumer needed to run some ETL process from ODI and once it finished start a Clover ETL process (automatically). So we created a .bat file witth the above command and then in ODI we created a package with all ETL interfaces and the last step of the package was a OScommand component that excecuted the .bat script from the Endeca's project folder.
Hope you find this post helpfully.

Spotlight comment via command line?

Hi all
Anyone knows whether it is possible to add a spotlight comment to a file/folder with a shell command? And if it is, what this command is? I tried GetFileInfo to at least read a spotlight comment, but it didn't show it.
Tina

"Finder" comments aren't very reliable so it probably is best to avoid them for anything important if possible. They aren't actually a part of the file, and in the case of "OS X", they are stored in the ".DS_Store" files of the folder in which the file resides. The ".DS_Store" files aren't always updated in a timely manner and if anything disrupts the association between the file and the ".DS_Store" file containing that file's comments, the comment may be lost. For example, most command line methods of copying or moving files will not transfer the "comment" unless the whole folder is processed together. There is even some ambiguity, where moving a file with 'mv' updates the Spotlight database so that it appears as if the comment moved along with the file, when in fact it hasn't.
Anyway, regarding the original question, the only way I know of to add a comment via the command line is indirectly - i.e. using 'osascript' to get AppleScript to tell the "Finder" to do it. This obviously isn't ideal since a user with sufficient privileges to modify the ".DS_Store" file associated with the item has to be logged in and the "Finder" has to be running. eg.<pre>
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to set comment of (choose file) to "blah"'</pre>

Running FlexUnit tests from command line

Sorry if that has been posted before: I searched best I could and nothing came up.
I am interested in building and running my unit tests from the command line so we can add it to a nightly build process.
I am *very* new to all this: basically I picked up Adobe Flash Builder 4 a month ago and I have done *everything* inside that IDE: writing code, building, testing, running.
I looked into at least how to build something from the command line, I found this:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-59108b2e1215eb9d5e4-8000 .html
Can't get past this error:
Buildfile: /Users/dbanks/build_test.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target "FlexUnitApplication" does not exist in the project "null".
Total time: 0 seconds
Adobe Flash Builder 4:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/Users/dbanks/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/.metadata/.log.
Plus, even if I got this going, I am just building the swf. I also want to run it and capture the output in some meaningful way that can be read/evaluated/acted on.
FWIW, the script/xml I am using to try to build:
build_test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="main">
    <target name="main">
        <fb.exportReleaseBuild project="NightclubMogul" />
    </target>
</project>
execute_build_test.sh:
WORKSPACE="$HOME/Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4"
# works with either FlashBuilder.app or Eclipse.app
"/Applications/AdobeFlashBuilder4" \
    --launcher.suppressErrors   \
    -noSplash   \
    -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner   \
    -data "$WORKSPACE"    \
    -file "/Users/dbanks/build_test.xml" FlexUnitApplication
I am not clear what in here is actually supposed to point to where my project lives: it's off in some directory somewhere. I see that I am pointing to a workspace (Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4) but when I poke around in there I don't see anything connecting back to the directories where the code lives.
Any help would be great: getting the tests to build from command line, then getting them to run.

Thanks a lot,
RR.

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...
