Starting file sharing at command line

How does one start personal file sharing from the command line? I'd like to do this remotely. The command /usr/sbin/applefileserver does not work inspite of web posts to the contrary. Thanks.

OK, I found something. On the Mac from which I want to export, ps -A doesn't show AppleFIleServer when it's started from the command line but does when started from the GUI. On a brand new Mac, on which I wanted to mount the share, the process shows up regardless of how its started. (I had turned off both firewalls when I did this so I may come back to this question....) Both systems are 10.4.4. Any ideas? Can I selectively reinstall this package and if so, how?
The only thing in system.log is the call and no error:
configd[29]: executing /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer
BTW the sharing GUI does update the status of applefilesserver daemon although I seem to recall that controlling apache with the command apachectl doesn't update the Web Sharing GUI. anyway....
Thanks for your help.

  • File adapter OS command line - Calling a command remotely ??

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where in which receiver file adapter after putting a file on the FTP  , a subsequent XML loader needs to be called which would load data into the client legacy ERP system.
    There seems to be some idea about doing it through file adapter OS command line.
    The problem is the how to call this loader command remotely from our file adapter OS command line.
    Any help would be appreciated ???

  • Advice on constructing a test engine and formatting a spreadsheet test file to perform command line interface testing on a product through telnet or serial interface

    Advice on constructing a test engine and formatting a spreadsheet test file to perform command line interface testing on a range of products through telnet or serial interface and output pass/fail results.

    If I understand correctly, you want to do the following:
    1. Create one or more tab-delimited files that specify a series of query strings (that LabVIEW will send to your products) and expected reply strings (that LabVIEW will look for in response to each query)
    2. Run your LabVIEW program (the test engine) and have it execute one or more test scripts from file using either TCP/IP or serial communication to your units under test
    3. Track how many of the queries are met with the expected response, and output an indication of whether each step passed or failed
    If this is close to correct, then I've attached a sample test file and LabVIEW VI as an example; I chose the TCP/telnet method because it allowed me to use the ni.com Web site to simulate my tes
    t hardware. If you happen to own the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit, there's a VI called "Telnet Play Script" in the Telnet palette that does something fairly similar using TCP. The same general model would also work for Serial communications.
    Hope it helps,

  • Advice on constructi​ng a test engine and formatting a spreadshee​t test file to perform command line interface testing on a product through telnet or serial interface

    Advice on constructing a test engine and formatting a spreadsheet test file to perform command line interface testing on a range of products through telnet or serial interface and output pass/fail results.

    Hello j. smith,
    TestStand gives you the ability to create "sequence files" which are lists of tests to be run sequentially or in parallel. These tests can be written in any language: LabVIEW VIs, C/C++ DLLs, EXEs, ActiveX objects, .NET Assemblies, etc.
    You can run your TestStand sequence files from a command-line prompt using the following syntax:
    \bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -run
    This will launch the TestStand Sequence Editor (and optionally prompt you for TestStand login information if you have this configured), run your sequence file, then exit.
    If you're using the TestStand process model, it can output your results to a report file or database if you configure this. To use a TestStand process mo
    del to execute your sequence file, use the following syntax:
    \bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -runEntryPoint
    Here's an example:
    C:\>"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.0\bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -runEntryPoint "Single Pass" "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.0\Examples\Demo\C\computer.seq"
    Note that multiple sequences and sequence files can be specified on the command line.
    TestStand supports remote sequence execution using DCOM (Distributed COM), which is an east way to remotely execute tests. But as for running tests or commands through a telnet or serial interface, you would have need to check Windows documentation on how to execute command-line remotely like this.

  • 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.

  • Setting IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file

    I am currently in need of a way to set IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file.  More specifically the 'Bytes Sent (sc-bytes)' and 'Bytes Received (cs-bytes)' settings that are not enabled by default. 
    If anyone knows where I can locate these setting (outside of the GUI) for all IIS versions that would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I have found a valid solution. You must have the WebAdministration module loaded.  I hope this helps someone.
    Use the following syntax to view current W3C fields:
    Get-WebConfiguration -filter system.applicationhost/sites/sitedefaults/logfile | select-object -expandProperty logExtFileFlags
    Use the following syntax to set W3C fields:
    Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter System.Applicationhost/Sites/SiteDefaults/logfile -Name LogExtFileFlags -Value "Date,Time,ClientIP,UserName,SiteName,ComputerName,ServerIP,Method,UriStem,UriQuery,HttpStatus,Win32Status,BytesSent,BytesRecv,TimeTaken,ServerPort,UserAgent,Cookie,Referer,ProtocolVersion,Host,HttpSubStatus"}

  • Running jar files from the command line

    I have always felt it would be useful to run a jar file from th command line in EXACTLY the same way as an EXE. On some systems, typing MYAPP.JAR will run the app, but doesn't output and command line data, so it only works for GUI apps. I've come up with a tiny C program that runs java -jar xxxx.jar for you.
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <process.h>
    void main(int argc,char *argv[])
         char cmd[1024];
         strcpy(cmd,"java -jar ");
         strcat(cmd,argv[0]);
         strcat(cmd,".jar");
         for(int arg=1;arg<argc;arg++)
              strcat(cmd," ");
              strcat(cmd,argv[arg]);
         system(cmd);
    }Simply compile this to an exe, rename the exe to the name of your jar file and put it in the same directory. Then just type 'MyJarFile' (no jar extension) and it should run. It passes all command live args as well. Comments ?

    Here's a better version. The JAR and the EXE can be anywhere in the PATH:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <process.h>
    void main(int argc,char *argv[])
         char jar[1024];
         char cmd[1024];
         strcpy(cmd,argv[0]);
         strcat(cmd,".jar");
         _searchenv(cmd,"PATH",jar);
         strcpy(cmd,"java -jar ");
         strcat(cmd,jar);
         for(int arg=1;arg<argc;arg++)
              strcat(cmd," ");
              strcat(cmd,argv[arg]);
         system(cmd);
    }

  • Creating .swf from .fla file using ADT command line

    Dear Adobe Community and Moderators:
    Is it possible to use the ADT command line to directly compile an .fla file into an .swf file? Context: I have an app created in Flash Pro CS55 (6 months worth of work), but now found Adobe has dropped Flash Pro in favor of Flash Builder or Flex. I have some native extensions I want to use for iOS, but they require Air 3.1 to compile (swf-version=14) i.e. using the MessageUI framework in a static .a library for an Air app. Flash Pro CS55's top end limit seems to be swf-version=13 (Flash 11). Because of heavy investment in time and energy into our Air app in Flash Pro, it's not feasible to convert to Flex by end of week. I tried creating an .swc file, and taking the library.swf from that, but alas, a catch-22, Flash Pro CS55 only compiles to swf-version=13.
    Is there any way to either (a) directly compile my root .swf file (from the .fla file) using a command line (so I can use ADT from Air 3.1 SDK) or (b) some way I can marry a native extension I've found I can use on GitHub which is swf-version=14? Again, my issue is that I have to use Air 3.1 since only it supports iOS5.
    Any thoughts, suggestions, comments are highly appreciated (including if it's not possible to do what I'm trying to do).
    Thank you Adobe community in advance,
    Alex

    I have the exact same question, please respond if you hold the answer to this! mxmlc won't work for me since I have created too many assets within the fla already! Thanks!

  • File Ownership via Command Line

    Hello - oh my I went and did a stupid thing. I renamed my home folder and restarted which logged me as a brand new user. I can see my previous folder in the Users folder with all of it's files and everything is there - but I can't access it through the log-in pane.
    I have been told by more than a couple of mac stores that it will require 5-7 days to fix... however I googled it and found one specific document on what to do at the command level to fix this. I need assistance from anyone who knows the right syntax in which to do this. I have started by making a backup of all the original home files I want to keep. This is what I found on-line...
    "Changing File Ownership: chown
    The chown command is used to change the ownership of files. Only the root user can execute the chown command. The simplest form, and the one in which you'll end up using it the most frequently, is chown <username> <filename> , which changes the ownership property of <filename> to belong to the user <username> . The command can optionally be given as chown <username> : <groupname> <filename> to change the user and group at the same time. Additionally, -R can be specified after the command to cause a recursive change in an entire directory, instead of to a single file. The command documentation table is shown in Table 24.1"
    Can someone show me how the command line should look as I proceed with this?
    Thank you very much.

    Actually, I was thinking about being even more cautious (being there, done that, ain't pleasant).
    Let me make sure I understand where you are:
    1/ you have only one login, it's your new name, but the Home associated with it is empty (has all the "regular" folders that come with the creation of a new account)
    2/ your old account cannot be accessed upon login but you "ex" home is still there and you have access to it
    If that's right, then do 2 things
    1/ create a new admin account. Call it whatever you want. In case of anything, you'll still have one with admin privileges. You may want to keep it for the future. It's always a good idea to have such an account, never used but for troubleshooting, where the Preferences are pristine.
    2/ start copying (not moving) what you had in your old home into your new one (you wanted that new name anyway, right?), making sure that the privileges are indeed associated with your new name. That should work as you are doing the copying from your new account.
    When you are all done and have made sure that everything works, then you'll be able to delete the old folder. Or you may want to keep it around for a while.
    If you have too much stuff to copy (movies, etc...), then let me know. Having the "third" account (the one I mentioned in 1) may help you. You could log in with that one, and change the names back of your homes (old and new). You would have to check what you have under Syst Pref/Accounts

  • How do I create an AppleDouble "dot-underscore" file from the command line?

    We're going through a process of migrating NetWare shares to Windows shares (without File Services for Macintosh) where I work. One concern is that the NetWare shares are shared as AFP volumes to the Macs. All the finder info and metadata for the files is thus stored natively and invisible to all the servers involved in the migration. If the Novel migrator or robocopy copy the files, resource forks and metadata are lost.
    The procedure I've provided the migration team involves making a UFS disk image, identifying files on the NetWare share that have Mac resource forks or metadata, copying the files from NetWare to the image one-by-one (whereby the OS creates the AppleDouble dot-underscore files), and then copying the dot-underscore files back to the NetWare share so that when either migration tool is used, the files correctly appear on the Windows shares in AppleDouble form with forks and metadata intact. This works reliably enough, but it involves a HUGE amount of network activity, and there's issues with making sure that the permissions are correct in the process.
    Is there a way to directly produce the AppleDouble dot-underscore file from a file on an AFP share. Things like SplitForks, RezWhack, etc. don't work on shares. I cannot find any command-line utility, AppleScript extension, Automator action, etc. to do it.

    Thank you. I am aware of that, cpio as well. The problem is that I don't want to have to copy the files, just create the dot-underscore file. For various reasons, we still need to use the Windows-based migration tools to migrate the files. So what I want is something that can read the metadata and resource fork WITHOUT making a copy of the file to produce the dot-underscore file. The solution I
    currently have for them works like tar (without the extra step of storing things in the archive or requirement of using OS X tar to unpack it).

  • Restart/start/stop network from command line

    Hi all...
    How do I restart/start or stop my network from command line? I red somewhere about using netstart, but I guess the article was refering to OpenBSD and not OS X...
    So.. any hints?
    Thanks.

    Hey You are right there...
    OKK..To my knowledge, you can start an application, from the servlet in a thread. But stopping a thread from outside is not safe and even sun doesn't advice.
    1. Starting a thread : you can start your program using an Runtime class. But your client program can see if the server port is open or not. So after starting the server program, through servlet, execute the client program. OR you can log every command/step in to a log file, and start the server program and see the log, where currently the program is waiting, so you can check, if the server program has exited.
    2. Stoping an application i.e a thread is a tricky thing. One i would suggest is, send data to the server socket with your pass code and the command "Shutdown" with a sequence which will not repeat in the data communication. If the first command is your passcode and "Shutdown" you can kill the server thread from inside the server application. To make this possible, every thing the new connection is accepted, you have to validate the first line is this your command to shutdown.
    and repeat the step 1.
    Hope this gives you a little idea to proceed. if not let me know...
    Cheers

    You need to give some parameters to the -XXjra commandNow that I re-read the doc, I see that delay is required. All other
    parameters are optional. I did not notice that the delay has no default
    value. Maybe you could add that to the documentation to make it more clear
    that -XXjra:delay=xx is a minimum requirement.

    Michael,
    You need to give some parameters to the -XXjra command or JRockit will not
    know when to start the recording etc. Parameters are separated by : as
    described in the documentation so the docs are correct. Some valid
    parameters would be for example:
    -XXjra:delay=45,recordingtime=120,filename=myrecording.xml
    which means "start a recording of length 120 seconds in 45 seconds after
    JVM startup. Write the data to the file myrecording.xml".
    I hope this helps.

  • How to run multiple java files concurrently using command line?

    Hi,
    I have to write a script to run multiple java files and c files concurrently. Say, A and C are java files and B is another binary executable file, I have to make sure they are run in the order A-B-C, then I was trying to run by using
    java A & ./B & java C
    But it turned out that B could run before A started... Is there any way that I can ensure that A runs before B, and B runs before C by using the command line?
    Thanks a lot.

    GKY wrote:
    Sorry, I didn't make my question clear enough...
    A has to give some output files that B needs to get started,Then B can start at any time--even before A--and just wait for those files to be written. For instance, A could write to a temp file, then rename it to the real name. However, if there are multiple files, and they all have to exist, even this won't necessarily work. There are other approaches that will though.
    although writing the output takes very short time,Depends on when the OS decides to give A CPU time, what else is going on on that disk controller and/or network, etc.
    B could still run before A finishes the writing, As it can if you sleep for 1, or 10, or 1,000,000 seconds before starting B.
    if B can't find the info it wants, it fails to move on. That's why I need to make sure A starts before B.No, you need to make sure A's data is there before B tries to use that data.
