Running Tasklist command with Administrator Priviledges

Hi,
I am trying to use tasklist command in my bat file to retrieve the list of users running some process say test.exe.
I am using following command in my bat file.
tasklist /v /fo table /nh /fi "IMAGENAME eq test.exe" > C:\temp\output.txt
When I run this bat file as administrator, it works fine and gives the names of users. But, when I run it as some other user, it will give UNKNOWN values in the username coulmn. I have given Full Rights to tasklist.exe in C:\Windows\System32 but still the
issue remains. How can I run the bat file with normal user privileges to get the Usernames?
Please help.
P.S:- I don't want to add the bat file in my Scheduled Task and run the the Task as administrator. That works, but I have to do this without going into making the Scheduled Task.

Hi Mandy,
Thanks for trying it out. Yes, I know I can use the Scheduled Tasks to run the bat file with Admin Privileges, but just thought, if there is a way round, that will make life of many easier.

Hi,
We could run TASKLIST /V to see details similar to what Task Manager shows. While Task Manager is limited to provide only local machine's information. So we could use a user of the local administrator group to list other user names.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Run os commands with sql

dear all,
is it possible to run os commands with sql commands as follows :
SQL> ALTER system kill session '1764,60569'; ! kill -9 12151
2 /
ALTER system kill session '1764,60569'; ! kill -9 12151

Kais,
What exact error are you getting running this script and what's OS (is it linux RH?? If you can post errors on running this script, that will be helpful. I tested on both cygwin (my desktop) and liunx box but you can change as needed) and to kill process from script you can use
echo `kill -9 pid`
Hope this helps

How to run Unix command with Pipe ( | )?

Dear Friends,
I have to execute the below unix command through java program.
*ps -ewwo pid,args | grep -E "abc.sh|xyz.jar" | gawk '{ print $1 }' | wc -l*
My code to execute this command is,
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
File workDir = new File("/root/sat");
String psCmd = "ps -ewwo pid,args | grep -E \"abc.sh|xyz.jar \" | gawk '{ print $1 }' | wc -l";
Process process = run.exec(psCmd, null, workDir);
          String line;
          int i = process.waitFor() ;
          if(i == 0) {
          BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( process.getInputStream() ) ) ;
          while ( ( line = buf.readLine() ) != null )
               System.out.println("Line - ["+line+"]") ;
          } else {
               BufferedReader stdErr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
               // read the output from the command
               while ((line = stdErr.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(line);
               }When i execute this command, i'm getting output as,
ERROR: Garbage option.
When i analyse the above error, i found that, the PIPE ( | ) command is not supported through java.
Could anyone please help me how to execute the above unix command (with | ) in java?
Thanks in advance,
Sathish

The pipe has to be interpreted by a shell so you need
String[] psCmd =
    "sh",
    "-c"
    "ps -ewwo pid,args | grep -E \"abc.sh|xyz.jar \" | gawk '{ print $1 }' | wc -l"
Process process = run.exec(psCmd, null, workDir);You should also read, re-read and then implement the recommendations in the 4 sections of http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html .

Running interactive command with Runtime.exec

I'm trying to run a command via the Runtime.exec interface.
Occasionally, the command needs to prompt for additional information. The response depends on the specific configuration, however, the command returns a list of options and then waits for a response.
However, when the command waits for the response, my Java app hangs.
After I call Runtime.exec, I create 2 threads to consume the contents of stderr and stdout. I then start them and call proc.waitFor()
I would expect to see the output of the command in the stdout stream even though the command hasn't exited. I had hoped to parse the output to determine the necessary response. However, the calls to read the contents of the stdout and stderr streams block and I never see any output.
How can I get access to the contents of those streams while the command is still running? Is this supported through the Runtime.exec interface?
Thanks,
Shawn

How can you run a command with elevated rights on a remote server with invoke-command ?

I am trying to run a script on a remote server with invoke-command. The script is starting and is running fine, but the problem is that it should be running with elevated rights on the remote server. On the server where I start the invoke-command, my account has the necessary rights.
The server were I launch the invoke-command is a W2K8 R2. The remote box is a W2K3 with powershell v2.0 installed.
When I launch the script on the remote-box from the command line, I don't get the access denied's.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

The script that I want to run is to install the windows updates. I get an access denied on the download of the updates.
When I execute the script on an W2K8 box, (not remotely) and I run it with non-elevated rights, I get the same error.
The script is running fine when it is launched on W2K3 box locally with a domain account that has local admin rights, or on a W2K8 R2 server with a domain account that has local admin rights, but with elevated rights.
Thanks in advance for your help.

User Defined Activity: Run OS Command with OS parameters

OS: OELR5 U3 x64
DB: 11.1.0.7
OWB: 11R1
I would like to be able to run an os command from a user defined activity within a process flow. I am trying to make use of VMWare's vmrun to control a virtual machine. From the OS command line I enter:
/usr/bin/vmrun -T server -h https://server:port/sdk -u user -p userpassword -gu guest -gp guestpassword runProgramInGuest "[standard] VM/Virtual Machine.vmx" -activeWindow -interactive "c:\path_to_program\program.exe" /switch
How many I duplicate this OS command from within a user defined activity in a process flow?
I create a user defined activity:
COMMAND: /usr/bin/vmrun
PARAMETER_LIST:
RESULT_CODE:
SCRIPT: -T server -h https://server:port/sdk -u user -p userpassword -gu guest -gp guestpassword runProgramInGuest "[standard] VM/Virtual Machine.vmx" -activeWindow -interactive "c:\path_to_program\program.exe" /switch
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
The process runs without error in the log, but the os command is not being run.
I tried again with:
COMMAND: /usr/bin/vmrun
PARAMETER_LIST: ?-T?server?-h?https://server:port/sdk?-u?user?-p userpassword?-gu?guest?-gp guestpassword?runProgramInGuest "[standard] VM/Virtual Machine.vmx"?-activeWindow?-interactive?"c:\path_to_program\program.exe"?/switch?
RESULT_CODE:
SCRIPT:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
with the same result.
And I also tried calling sh:
COMMAND: bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
RESULT_CODE:
SCRIPT: /usr/bin/vmrun -T server -h https://server:port/sdk -u user -p userpassword -gu guest -gp guestpassword runProgramInGuest "[standard] VM/Virtual Machine.vmx" -activeWindow -interactive "c:\path_to_program\program.exe" /switch
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
also with the same result.
The process runs in each case, and ends with: "Log file is available", but when I look in the log, I don't see errors or any information that might help me adjust the user defined activity.

This method works:
COMMAND: bin/bash
PARAMETER_LIST:
RESULT_CODE:
SCRIPT: /usr/bin/vmrun -T server -h https://server:port/sdk -u user -p userpassword -gu guest -gp guestpassword runProgramInGuest "standard VM/Virtual Machine.vmx" -activeWindow -interactive "c:\path_to_program\program.exe" /switch
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
The issue seems to be caused on an upgrade to OWB 11R2. Our installation does not always update the VALUE entry when a user types in a value, meaning that our entry changes were not reflected into the deployed process package.

Creating/running Terminal command with Automator

I am using Parallels Desktop on my iMac. Occasionally after I shutdown Parallels Desktop/Windows the ram it used is not released back, for example, depending on what I'm running in Parallels Desktop I can use upto around 16GB or ram. Ocassionally when I shutdown Windows and in doing that Parallels Desktop too, this ram level does not go back down. I find that going into Terminal and entering the purge command puts the ram level down to what it was before I loaded up Parallels Desktop.
I was wondering if its possible to use Automator to create a shortcut that I could then either place on my Desktop or Dock and when needed I could just double click on it and it would then load Terminal and then the purge command?
Or is there another way that I could automate the purge command?

I managed to work it out for myself.
I done the following:
In Automator I chose Application/Run Shell Script. In the box that appeared in the right side I entered purge. I then saved it to my desired location and I then dragged it onto the Dock for easy access.

These are the two different ways I invoked the script
PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
ps.AddCommand("New-Item")
.AddParameter("Path", newPathName)
.AddParameter("ItemType", "directory");
ps.AddStatement().AddCommand("New-WebVirtualDirectory")
.AddParameter("Site", Properties.Settings.Default.VirtualDirectoryPath)
.AddParameter("Name", userName)
.AddParameter("physicalPath", newPathName);
ps.Invoke();
and (scriptContents is a string holding the
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(scriptContents);
pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
Collection<PSObject> results = pipeline.Invoke();
runspace.Close();

I tried yet another way to make a Virtual Directory:
public void CreateVirtualDirectory2(string userName, string password)
string newPhysicalPathName = Path.Combine(Properties.Settings.Default.PhysicalPathForVirtualDirectory, userName);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
if (Directory.Exists(newPhysicalPathName) == false)
sb.AppendLine(@"md " + newPhysicalPathName);
sb.AppendLine("cd iis:");
sb.AppendLine("cd Sites");
sb.AppendLine("cd ftp");
sb.AppendLine(@"New-Item 'IIS:\Sites\ftp\bridgenet\" + userName + @"' -Type VirtualDirectory -physicalPath " + newPhysicalPathName);
string script = VirtualDirectoryScript(sb.ToString());
RunspaceInvoke invoker = new RunspaceInvoke();
try
invoker.Invoke(script);
catch (Exception e)
Console.ForegroundColor= ConsoleColor.Black;
Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine("ERROR: " + e.Message);
Console.ResetColor();
And the same exception occurs
"A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'physicalPath'."
When I run the script outside of C#, there's no error.
So no one's responded yet , which is pretty disappointing.

[SOLVED] Running sudo command to be executed on dmenu

I'm using "sudo grub-reboot 2". What is the best way to run this command with dmenu, considering that sudo is necessary, without sacrificing security?
Last edited by Quatro (2014-08-19 00:22:24)

My dmenu power menu script looks like this.
power_menu.sh
#!/bin/bash
# dmenu2 power menu
OPT=$(echo -e "suspend\npoweroff\nreboot" | dmenu -f -h 28 -fn "Ubuntu Mono-12" -x 460 -y 370 -w 360 -nb black -nf white -sb white -sf black )
case $OPT in
suspend) sudo systemctl suspend ;;
poweroff) sudo systemctl poweroff ;;
reboot) sudo systemctl reboot ;;
esac
And the following file allows me to run those commands without being prompted for a password.
/etc/sudoers.d/include
slithery ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl suspend
slithery ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
slithery ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl reboot
Just use these as an example and you should get what you're after.

My 'run with administrative privileges' script no longer works - help

Hey all. I have an applescript that shuts down the computer that I made a while back. I pulled it out today to use it and it no longer works. Here's part of the code I'm having trouble with:
do shell script ¬
"sudo shutdown -h now" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges
On old machines this worked great, I would just put the admin password where myadminpassword is and it would work perfectly. Now though, I run it on my machine and I get the prompt to enter my admin username and password before it will shutdown.
Now this is going on a remote install so I need it to work. Any ideas? The machine is running snow leopard, but it seems to still work on an old leopard macbook pro.

Well, for one, do not use sudo in do shell script.
The whole 'with administrator privileges' part takes care of elevating your privileges. sudo has no place in do shell script.
Don't know if that's your issue, but it's the first thing I'd fix.
If that doesn't help, are you running the script as your admin user?
Nowhere in your script are you defining the username to run the command as, therefore it will attempt to run as the current user who may not be the same as your admin user, nor have the same password. You might need to include the username:
do shell script "shutdown -h now" user name "admin" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges

Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …
Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

Administrator Unable To Run Powershell Commands When UPD Enabled

Hi All,
We have a single Windows 2012 R2 RDS configured with UPD enabled for the defined collection. So far everything is working fine for standard users; however, the domain administrator can no longer run PowerShell commands (see attached screenshot).
I believe this is the result of the UPD "impersonating" the local c:\. How can I get around this for domain administrator accounts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
By UPD, you mean user profile disk, right?
In addition, all non-administrator users can run the exact same PowerShell cmdlet, right?
What about other PowerShell cmdlets, are administrators able to run them?
Best Regards,
Amy

Here...
In the CommandLine you can give the path where the file is located like for Example
C:\Test\Hello.txt.
In the Program you need to give the application that you want to open that file.
if helpful reward points...
