I am currently pushing a .msi to multiple (500+) computers. My WMIC command
/node:#"c:\#complist.txt" product call install true,"", "C:\Program.msi" /nointeractive
successfully goes through and discards the nodes that wont work. However, once it start the install of the program with the /nointeractive switch, it only installs to the first node(computer). After that, the command stops. Without the /nointeractive switch, it continues after the first install but I have to hit "y" to execute it each time. Is there a way to automate this so that I'm not pressing "Y" 500+ times today or in the future? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

So I did a fresh install of Arch Linux on my desktop and installed i3wm with it. After updating the repo's following the first reboot I began to add some packages I am familiar with that I can remember off the top of my head. After making sure my wireless internet was working I began to add apps to install to get me all set up and 'pamac-aur' was one of them. After I couldn't remember anymore apps to install I turned to pamac to help me with the rest, only it wouldn't start. I got a "Authentication failed" error. So I did some research and 95% of the posts I read mentioned adding 2 lines to my i3 startup config.
exec /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
exec --no-startup-id /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
I currently have tried both of those lines and each one separately as well since they are almost identical and pamac is still giving me the "Authentication failed" error message. I can 'sudo pacman -Syu' and 'yay -Syu' from the command line but since I am still new with i3 and linux in general, I like referring to an application that shows pictures of different packages and a 'one-stop-shop' to install everything in one go.
So beyond those two lines in my i3 config, I don't know what else to try. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Have you already checked if you have polkit-gnome installed?
This is the package that provides the binary you are trying to execute with the lines you mentioned in you config:
pacman -Syu polkit-gnome
After installing it I would check if it works when starting the agent manually by executing the following in the terminal:
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
Then run pamac and try to install/remove/update a package with it. When a popup appears that wants you to authenticate yourself it was a success.
Then you can add the line to your i3 config.
Also the the second line without the ampersand at the end is enough for your i3 config:
exec --no-startup-id /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
For the new line in the config to take effect you would have to, after saving the file, logout and login again.
I think the answer to my questions is NO. But I need to get clarity be certain about this.
EXAMPLE: I have sqlcmd windows utility installed on windows and can use it with command prompt, simply type sqlcmd in command prompt and start typing T-SQL commands such as sp_databases;go will list the databases.
Next if I want to use WSL bash prompt for doing the same I believe the only way to do so is to first install sqlcmd for Ubuntu from WSL bash and then log in to localhost SQL Server with sqlcmd.
Please share what you know to help me get a better understanding of how to get full benefit of WSL for doing things such as using the sqlcmd command at WSL bash prompt.
Thanks for the help.
I have tried issuing this command at the WSL bash prompt which did not work:
/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ SQL\ Server/110/Tools/Binn/SQLCMD.EXE
OK I had some success, I needed some getting use to but there is some thing to go off here. To reiterate my name idea was that if a program such as R or Python is installed in windows I shouldn't have to re-install it in WSL with sudo apt-get install ...
So for using the sqlcmd utility the following command at bash worked:
/mnt/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe /C sqlcmd
This command will let give me a "black line/space" to type in T-SQL commands into. It gives me some success with my experiment, at first it looks funny since there was no prompt or anything but I just type the command sp_databases [enter] go [enter] and it does the trick.
Next I wanted to really wanted to test this and tried to run the R (installation that runs when I type >R at command prompt). This is command that worked at bash prompt:
/mnt/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe /C R --no-save
This was more satisfying as it printed R intro and started the R-shell/prompt, the issue was though (what I immediately noticed) was that if I use the up arrow key to scroll through previous commands its won't work rather ^[[A is printed on the screen at the prompt.
Next I tried another program Python, at command prompt in windows if I enter >python it starts a python with the intro, but at WSL bash prompt when I tried:
/mnt/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe /C python it takes me to blank line but unlike sqlcmd this time a simple python command like dir() dose not give back any output.
I would greatly appreciate if someone who knows more about these things could explain to me how I can use the programs already installed in windows with reinstalling them in WSL.
§ So why did the python program not start in WSL like it does at the command-prompt.
§ And in case of R program that did start how would I scroll through previous command if the up arrow key start printing ^[[A
Thanks for help, hope my question is clear enough.
How to automatically run my program after performing a /verysilent install?
I can automatically run my program after a normal install by using DisableFinishedPage=yes in the [Setup] section (that disables the finish page and will run the program immediately after install, without user intervention).
However if I use the /verysilent parameter that won't work: my program installs but won't automatically run afterwards.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Apparently it's working fine now. I just removed skipifsilent flag from the Run section!
Hello people.
I'm using Jenkins as CI server and I need to run some performance test using Jmeter. I've setup the plugin and configured my workspace and everything works ok, but I have to do some steps manually and I want a bit more of "automation".
Currently i have some small programs in a remote server. These programs make some specific validations, for instance (just to explain): validates e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.
So, before I run the build in jenkins, I have to manually start the program (file.sh) I want:
I have to use putty (or any othe ssh client) to conect to the server and then run, for instance, the command
./email_validation.sh
And the Jmeter test runs in a correct way, and when the test is done I have to manually "shut down" the program I started. But what I want is trying to start the program I need in Jenkins configuration (not manually outside Jenkins, but in "execute shell" or "execute remote shell using ssh" build step).
I have tried to start it, but it get stuck, because when Jenkins build finds the command
./email_validation.sh
the build stops, it waits for the command to finish and then it will continue the other build steps, but obviously, I need this step not to finish until the test is executed.
Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks
Run your command as a background process by adding the & symbol at the end of the command and use the nohup command in case the parent process gets a hangup signal, e.g.
nohup /path/to/email_validation.sh &
If the script produces any output, it will go by default to the file nohup.out in the current directory when the script was launched.
You can kill the process at the end of the build by running:
pkill email_validation.sh
I am calling a perl script in build machine 1 to connect to build machine 2 and call a perl script in build machine 2. The module I am using is Net::Telnet.
Recently I upgraded my bitkeeper in Build machine 2. Since then I am getting the license agreement form of Bitkeeper in the background. So my script is as good as paused till I kill the prompt's process from task manager.
If I kill the process, the bitkeeper clone command will fail and hence my entire build will fail. I am not able to bring this sneaky bkgui.exe process to front and accept the license agreement once and for all.
Can you please help me in solving this problem?
Observations:
I am not getting the license error when I open a command prompt in build machine 2 and call the same script which was called from telnet.
I ran 'whoami' command in my script running in build machine 2 and found it to be administrator.
'C:\WINDOWS\system32\tlntsvr.exe' is running and the USER is 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'.
When I call telnet from command line of buildmachine 1 and call the script in buildmachine 2, even then the bk command get executed successfully.
I want to run my bitkeeper command in build machine 2 from build machine 1.
You can try the bk legal -pT command. See bk help legal for usage.
