Verifying active processes under windows

Here is the situation. I have created a java application that will dial to a pager using the 56K modem. The application is for a mission critical process at an assembly line. The application is used to inform that the particular program required to operate the assembly line on the computer has been shut down or crashed.
Thus, the java application will continuously check for the status of the program (active/not responding etc). If found to be not present amongst the task list, it will dial the pager.
I am not sure as to whether i must check the registry for some kind of a value indicating the process is active or whether i should use win API.
I need some input from you all.
Thanks in advance.

Don't you think it's kind of a waste of time asking questions like this on a forum about Java Programming? I'll just point out that the Windows registry is used for storing permanent configuration information and suggest you look in MSDN for information about Windows programming.

"Activity" information under "Window" in Safari menu bar

In another thread a very helpful explanation was provided for the content of the information provided in the "Activity" window [or "pane"?] here:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=345525&tstart=0>
Now just for interest sake what is the purpose or usefulness of this information for the average non-geek user?
Thanks

Most people can probably live their lives with never looking at the Activity window. However, it can be used in troubleshooting a web page and how Safari renders that page by tracking what has been downloaded, what couldn't be located, and what didn't download to the browser. You can force any item to refresh by Control-Double Clicking on it. This is similar to refreshing a web page, but only the selected object gets refreshed. You can also download any object to your selected download location by Option-Double Clicking on an object.
Just last week, I had a problem with a web page. One of the developers asked to see the Activity list and was able to determine that an important item was not on the list and, therefore, it was not downloaded and it did not appear on the page, causing the problem I had. From there, a solution to the problem was reached.
Some people have used Option-Double Clicking to capture flash animations or other parts of a web page.

Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

Hello,
Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
Their are no apparent viruses detected.
Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
System is Windows 7 (64bit).

well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
is all the rest of the disk space)
what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses). I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
Google searches aren't turning up anything. When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears. However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar. I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1. Nothing works. The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today. Go figure.
Edit: I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects(). The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function). There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative. All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related. I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start. That also did not work.
(And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
Edit: The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking. I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report. Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8

Hello to you all,
Two days ago, I bought a new notebook for my daughter. She needs it for her study. It's the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed.
Again, just like the situation I wrote about before in this topic over here (link: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind... the OfficeJet Printer J6410 won't install under Windows 8.
Now this is what I've done before the problem occured:
- I made a username and password for her,
- I activated Windows 8,
- I made a recovery-point,
- I took my external DVD writer, installed Office 2007 Home and Student for her (o.k, I know it's old, but it's very o.k - and legal copy -. for her study, used it myself as well and still do, and never any complaints about that one), and activated it,
After that and restarting the notebook;
- the notebeek activated USB 2.0 (it does that automatically at first use),
- installed XPS2OneNote (to use for Office OneNote 2007),
- installed SaveAsPDF&XPS,
- removed Norton Internet Security (I never use it, I use something else for that purpose, but was - and still am - planning to install that on a later moment),
- I made sure the notebook can access the server we have here at home, and made a share for her.
After that I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file (Dutch, but I'll translate the text in English).
From this point on I will describe as precisely as possible what happened
- - the program extracts some files, no problems there,
- - when the first screen appears, I pressed 'Install',
- - a bar appears, and after that another pop-up that says tha you must allow all HP processes. I pressed 'Next',
- - system is controlled, and after that one must agree with the licence agreements. I checked the box, and pressed 'Next',
- - the system is prepared for installation and - yes! - there it comes... an error message.
The error message says:
C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
Please not that this is a different message than the one I got before, as I described in my posting before, (link again: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
Nonehteless, I assumed that, as before, the problem was with the C+++, just like before. That is why I made the following steps:
- I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_140_408_Scrubber program, run L4 4 times.
- I looked for the KB2565063 update, but it isn't there anymore. So, instead, I ran all updates there are until the system said that there are no updates to be found,
- After that I took the old installation disk that came with the OfficeJet J6410 printer, and (tried to) ran hpsetup.exe. It doesn't do a thing! Literally!!
- after that I tried to run the the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file again. No success. I got the same error as before (see above, the ..\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. thing again.
So, what to do now?
Anyone got some helpfull tips for me? I would really appreciate your feedback / help.
Thank you in advance,

Hi again,
No, it didn't work. And, the solution you offered neither.
This is what I've done.
After downloading the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file, I tried to install it.
It failed. I got an error message similar to the one before.
'C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS57DB\Setup\de.'
I tried to ran the scrubber again, and the CCCUninstaller and tried again.
Same error message occured.
After that I tried to look for the KB2565063 file again. Found it this time and ran the vcredist_x64 file.
I rebooted the system, tried to run the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file again.
Same error message ocuured.
So, after that, I followed the steps you proposed.
Step 2 - searching for hpoins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 3 - searching for hpwins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 4 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /REGSERVER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /REGSERVER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /REGSERVER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
Step 5 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
So... conclusion: NOTHING worked.
My ideas for a possible solution didn't work, and neither did your ideas for a possible solution.
Reason why I want it to work is because of the HP Solution Center. If I can not install it with the software from the original installation disk, or the software that one can download from the HP site (the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file that is), than I have no HP Solution Center. That would be a pity, for I am sure my daughter would really love the use and ease of the program, and would really use it a lot for her study.
What's next? What else can I try to solve the problem?
Got any more idea's or helpful hints?
Thanks in advance,

CS6 Bridge Under Windows 8 Slow Response

When I use CS6 Bridge in Windows 8 (64 bit) it takes about 10 seconds to open a folder. I select an image from the grid and press the spacebar to see it full size. It takes another 10 seconds. If I go to the Menu Bar and click on an item such as Window it takes about 10 seconds to get the drop down list, but if I then slide the cursor over to View and click on it, the menu appears right away and if I then click on Full Screen Preview, the full size image appears immediately. When I check the Widows Resource Monitor there is no unusual activity occurring during these 10 second intervals. It is as if the program is in a wait state pending some event.
When I was running CS6 under Windows 7 (32 bit) everything worked fine. When I run CS4 Bridge on Windows 8 (64 bit) it also runs fine. I have purged the cache, and increaed cache size but to no avail. My system has lots of processing speed, memory and disk space.
Does anyone know what I could do to get CS6 Bridge running correctly in my Windows 8 environment?   Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility with
Bridge, Windows 8 and the GPU?

Curt Y wrote:
I discussed this "solution" with Adobe back in July. Here is their response.
"There really should be no reason that running in Vista compatability mode would change the behavior of the application. Vista and 7 are so similar at the fundamental level that there shouldn't be any advantage.   Really, this is likely pointing to a lack of OS updates being installed, or installed improperly. One person mentioned that a new user account fixed things. I have a feeling that would true of more folks who are willing to try it. I'll run this by my collegues though."
But if it works it is better than the alternative.    curt
Surprisingly the bit about trying it under a different or new user actually works here. All the aggruvating 5 to 10 second long freezes disappear when used under a fresh account.
Ok, so how can that be parlayed into being able to use Bridge CS6 under my own account?
Does the fact that it works as expected under a new fresh account point to something particular that needs changing or adjustment under my regular account?
The Adobe staff person seems to think it is most likely a problem of (lack of) updates or incorrectly installed updates, but that would not have any bearing if changing to a new account fixes the problem would it?
PS - How does one run in Vista compat mode?

Large JVM heap sizes under windows xp?

I have a windows XP Pro SP1 box with 2 GB of physical RAM. I am using the latest jdk, 1.4.2_05.
I understand that 32 bit windows by default allows 2 GB address space for each application, permanently reserving 2 GB for the OS. (There are also apparently special builds going back to win2k which have a special mode where applications can address 3 GB and the OS addresses 1 GB; if anyone knows how to turn this mode on under win xp please let me know.)
So, I should be able to allocate ~2 GB to the JVM (the number is slightly less than 2 GB due to overhead associated with each process in windows) using something like
     -Xms1900m -Xmx1900m
as command line args to the java command.
But when I try the above it crashes with the error
     Error occurred during initialization of VM
     Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Experimentally, I found that the maximum value which works on my box is
     -Xms1200m -Xmx1200m
which seems way smaller than it ought to be.
Doing a forum search, I found others who report similar issues, e.g.
     http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=136&thread=522506
But I did not find a decent solution or up to date discusssion.
Does anyone know with windows xp pro what the jvm memory limit is?
As part of my sun search, I came across the following old (circa 2000) but interesting bug report:
     http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4358809
I have never heard of the rebase program before. Is it built into windows? Is it safe to use? Anyone ever try the command as described there?

In addition to this forum posting, I got in email communication with Peter Kessler, the technical lead for the garbage collector in the HotSpot(TM) virtual machine). Below are snippets from some of his emails to me.
#1:
I haven't tried pushing Windohs XP to see how big I could get the
heap. I'm pretty sure you don't want to get try to get it to 1.9GB,
since that wouldn't leave much room for DLL's, JVM data structures
outside the heap, thread stacks, I/O buffers, etc.
I don't know what the library C:\WINDOWS\System32\LPK.DLL is, or if
you could successfully rebase it closer to 0x76000000. The issue
with rebasing DLL's is that people have sometimes given thought to
where they should be, given other libraries they are typically used
with. (If a DLL can't be loaded at its default base address, it
gets relocated dynamically. That slows down program startup; and
often means that the library can't be shared with other applications
running on the same machine, increasing your need for swap file
space.)
It does seem weird that we would make the default base for jvm.dll
be 0x08000000, but the base of hpi.dll at 0x10000000. [See email #3 below]
The jvm.dll isn't going to get that much larger any time soon. I'll ask around
about that one. (The library bases for JDK-1.4.2 are different
from those reported in bug id 4358809 for because we periodically
reconsider where to base the libraries, given the other libraries
on a particular release of Windohs.)
So, I don't have any great advice on how to squeeze another 400MB of
heap out of your machine. I suppose it's fruitless to ask if you
could squeeze 400MB of data structures out of your application?
Have you run an allocation profiler on it?
Since you are willing to switch operating systems, you can download
a copy of Solaris 10 for x86 platforms (for free) from
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/10/
I just tried a Solaris 10 x86 box, and could get a -Xmx2900m jvm to
start. But without your application it's hard to know if it would
run well with that size heap (e.g., if it would have room for thread
stacks, file buffers, etc.), so your milage may vary, but 2.9GB is
larger than you say you need. There are lots of other benefits of
running Solaris. I don't know about making you a poster child, but
I could ask about that, too.
#2:
I'm told that some of the popular distibutions of Linux ship with
a "4GB" kernel, which allows one to get 3GB (2.4 kernels?) or almost
4GB (2.6 kernels?) of address space for user processes. I haven't
used those kernels myself. Among the reasons the 4GB kernel isn't
the standard kernel is that some user programs are surprised (in a
bad way) by finding their code or data in the "negative" part of
the address space, or crossing the "sign-bit" boundary. (Of course,
all addressing arithmetic should be done as unsigned quantities!)
Our Java virtual machine shouldn't have those problems, so that
kernel might work for you.
#3:
Ah. It looks like in JDK-1.4.2 (and earlier) we forgot to
explicitly set the base for hpi.dll, so it got the default
base of 0x10000000. (Don't we love learning these details
about Windohs?) As I said, we periodically reconsider the
bases for the libraries. We seem to have done that, more
thoroughly, for JDK-1.5.0:

Installing HP 5500 Designjet under Windows 7

  In Sept. 2004 I purchased a HP 5500 Designjet printer, Model Q1253V, for proprietary software development during my retirement. Well, that stopped abruptly shortly after, due to a health issue, and now I have this printer in our living room and wish to sell it.
  First, I suspect I need to have it running so prospective buyers can see that it works and what it can do.
I've downloaded, several days ago, the latest driver from HP. I'm trying to install it to my Win 7 desktop which, being modern, has no parallel port (one of the printer's ports is parallel). So for the install, I disconnected the router network cable from the machine and replaced that cable with the network cable to the printer.
  I next turned the printer on and allowed it to boot. I received the Ready display but, not surprising, there is a blinking message at the bottom -- Printheads Replace.
  I found the Printheads menu, drilled into each and learned the following:
   Lt Cyan, 95%, 04 (probably the age of the printhead)
   Lt Magen 92%, 04
   Yellow, 90%, 04
   Cyan, 96%, 04
   Magen, 92%, 03
   Black, 96%, 04
Leaving the printer connected I next turned to the driver installation. For reference, that file has following properties: HPDesignjet5500Series.exe, 58,845,048 bytes.
I cancelled that driver installation because I can't get beyond the following setup message:
"HP Designjet 5500 Series Setup"
  "Printer not found. Verify that the printer is properly connected and turned on."
I have a few questions before I proceed.
  I'm not very good at this network stuff. My notes from the original installation in 2004, under Windows 2000, shows an IP address of IP=192.168.1.101
Should I be specifying something like IP address in lieu of letting the driver hunt for the printer?
My internet network connection is like this: A cable from the satellite dish is connected to its modem. A router distributes those signals to the desktop computer and 3 other potential recipients.
Instead of disconnecting my router from the desktop, can I simply put the printer's network cable into one of the router's 3 empty inputs? That way, I can retain the desktop's internet connection during this process.
Some time ago I attempted printing some test routine from the printer and it did fairly well for 6 of the 8 colors. Is it possible that I can restore the "bad" printheads with, say, a wet (water) dishrag or a cloth with some type of solvent -- distilled alcohol, etc.?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Problems with Tuxedo8.0 under Windows 2003 Server

Hello All.
Could you please help me?
When we were choosing which OS to install on our Tuxedo developers server we
decided
to try Windows 2003 server. We did not suppose that we could have any
problems
with this choise. But we have!
We use it with DB 7.2 workgroup edition and Tuxedo 8.0 (PatchLevel 172).
When one of server processes crashes (for example by exit(1) or by
exception)
(it happend not so rarely, because this server is actively used in
development
and testing processes) we cannot restart this server process!
When I write "restartsrv -i SrvId" in command line nothing happens.
When I write "tmboot -i SrvId" it says "Duplicate server".
When I write "tmshutdown -i SrvId" it just hangs and I have to wait for 10
minutes
while it says "CMDTUX_CAT:949: WARN: Shutdown failed. 0 processes stopped."
Tuxedo WebAdministration conlsole says almost the same - "Failed to
deactivate SRVGROUP/200
(still in state ACTIVE)-10:CMDTUX_CAT:1689: ERROR: Could not shutdown any
servers".
As a result any server crash (including expected) leads to 15 minutes
waiting!!!
As you understand it cound not be accepted!... and it is very annoying. :-)
This problem never happened under Windows 2000 server (a week before I
returned from site
installation where this software works fine under Windows 2000 server).
How can we solve this problem?
Or should we downgrade our OS to Windows 2000?
With regards,
Dmitry.

Dmitry,
Try a bbclean from the tmadmin command line to clean up the BBL so you will be
able to restart the server using the tmboot command.
In addition to this check the values for SCANUNIT and SANITYSCAN in the ubbconfig.
The observation that it takes 15 minutes for TUXEDO to discover that your server
has crashed suggests they have values that might be too high.

Installation problem under windows XP

My PC runs under Windows XP. I want to install LabVIEW. The installer begins to copy files and displays the message "L'application n'a pa réussi à s'initialiser correctement (0xc0000142). Cliquez sur OK pour arrêter l'application). " (I've the french version). If I click on OK, the message appears again, ant the task is very difficult to kill. despite this message, the installation continues to run but never ends. After a moment, there was no more activity. The only thing I had to do was to reboot the PC.
The anti virus was desactivated. I tryed again with the administrator profile but with no more succes.
Could someboty give me some explanation?
Thanks.

Try copying the CD to your hard drive and installing from there. I have never received this exact error but have seen other installations repaired by this procedure. It's worth a try.

Mini-DVI not supported under Windows XP?

Hi all,
I recently picked up a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a 17" LCD from Lenovo (IBM). Under OSX, the dual displays works wonderfully well and easy. The OS picked it up right away and ran with it.
Under Windows XP, however, no such luck. The display will mirror the iMac during the Windows boot-up process and then go black once XP is booted. The monitor claims nothing is attached to it.
Windows will play the "ding-ding" sound whenever I unplug or plug the adapter and even claims to see the monitor via the Display settings panel.
Google told me several people have voiced this complaint while logged into Windows on their Intel machines. Does anyone here know of a fix or workaround? Thanks!

Any ideas? I am having the exact same problem. The funny thing is when I boot in XP the windows logo is displayed on my external monitor. But then disapears. I will try and update the ATI monitor drivers, and see if there is a bootcamp update. But anyone with info please let me know!!
thanks

Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
Thanks

You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

Using scripting with networking equipment under Windows

It can be a challenge to use scripting to automate working with Cisco devices. The Cisco IOS does not seem to directly provide a command line interface. You are forced to find a way to automate interaction with a telnet or ssh session.
The PERL language provides a number of object-oriented methods to help manage an interactive session, most notably Net::SSH::Expect and Net::Appliance::Session. These options can work well in a Unix environment, but not under MS Windows.
There are PERL for Windows options, the best probably being Strawberry PERL. There is also a Unix under Windows option known as CYGWIN that is freely available. Unfortunately none of these will work well with the way Windows manages low-level terminal I/O. The curious can google "windows pseudo terminal" to see all the technical details.
One way that does work under Windows is Tcl. It was initially named Tool Command Language. It is sometimes shown as Tcl/Tk.
Interestingly enough, Tcl is included within Cisco IOS as tclsh. There is no interaction with the tclsh and this example. It is just a bit of a curious coincidence.
A Tcl port to Windows can be downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads. Select Download ActiveTCL for Windows. A direct link to the download that worked at the time of writing is Download ActiveTcl 8.5.14 for Windows (x86)
Once base Tcl has been downloaded and installed there is one other component that will need to be installed from the Tcl Extension Archive, the expect package.
The teacup program that is installed with the base Tcl package makes this easy. The teacup program will work with a proxy.
You can set these Windows environment variables to specify proxy details:
set http_proxy=
set http_proxy_user=
set http_proxy_pass=
Then run teacup install expect
The plink tool from the PuTTY download is also needed. It can be obtained from http://www.putty.org/.
The sample that follows assumes that the data files, script and plink.exe executable all reside in the same directory.
A sample Tcl script follows that reads a file of devices and a file of commands. It will run the list of commands against each device in the device file. It has some basic error checking, but should best be considered a ‘beta’ version. You could do more complex interactions in the Tcl script by adding exp_send and expect command statements. In short, if you can type it you could script it!
Change directory to where your script, plink.exe and data is stored and run with tclsh <script_name>
devices.list
# Comment lines are allowed if they start with a hash mark
# <IP_Addr> <userid> <password> <ssh|telnet> <timeout_in_secs>
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn    <userid>    <password> ssh         <timeout_in_secs>
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn    <userid>    <password> telnet      30
