I'm using while true loop to constantly check run this script. After adding the if expression with whitelist ahk gives an error about unexpected } at the end of code. As far as I know there should be }.
Using Loop command gives the same error.
Removing the problematic } at the end causes the code running in background but not doing anything.
;Setup
Sleep, 1000
whiteList = "none"
;Main Loop
While True
{
siteName = YouTube
WinGetActiveTitle, tabName
Sleep, 10000
if tabName = %whiteList%{
Continue
}
;If current website is Youtube, ask if am I supposted to be here
if InStr(tabName, siteName){
Sleep, 10000
MsgBox, 292, Reality Check, Should you do this?
IfMsgBox, Yes
{
whiteList = tabName
}
;Close tab in mozilla
else
{
WinActivate, %tabName%
Sleep, 10
Send ^w
}
}
}
Code is unfinished, It should run in background and when the user is using YouTube fore some time it should ask him whether is he supposted to watch Youtube.
If he clicks yes, the program should ignore that specific page.
Else it should close it.
The % around the whiteList-var shouldn't be there. When I wrote it like below it seems to work:
if tabName = whiteList
Continue
Also the whiteList = tabName will just assign the string "tabName" to whiteList. Use whiteList := tabName for assigning, and if var1 = var2 for comparison.

I'm trying to integrate a Datadog monitor check on sshd process in my terraform codebase, but I'm getting datadog_monitor.host_is_up2: error updating monitor: API error 400 Bad Request: {"errors":["The value provided for parameter 'query' is invalid"]}
What I did was to copy the monitor's query I created on the Datadog panel and pasted it into the tf file:
resource "datadog_monitor" "host_is_up2" {
name = "host is up"
type = "metric alert"
message = "Monitor triggered"
escalation_message = "Escalation message"
query = "process.up.over('process:ssh').last(4).count_by_status()"
thresholds {
ok = 0
warning = 1
critical = 2
}
notify_no_data = false
renotify_interval = 60
notify_audit = false
timeout_h = 60
include_tags = true
silenced {
"*" = 0
}
}
ofc the query example "avg(last_1h):avg:aws.ec2.cpu{environment:foo,host:foo} by {host} > 2" works
What's the right way to check via Datadog API or terraform if a specific service, like sshd, is up or not?
There are two error in your code:
The type used is wrong. It should be service check instead of metric alert.
You need to enclose process.up in a pair of ''.
Once done, your code will run flawlessly.
Does AutoHotkey have anything similar to "ClipWait" for "Ctrl+A" / "Select All".
Or is there a possibility to get such a function somehow ?
Would this be sufficient?
^b::
send ^a
selectionWait()
msgbox, All has been selected
return
selectionWait() {
clipboardSave := clipboardAll
loop {
send ^c
if(clipboard != clipboardSave)
if(clipboard != "")
break
}
clipboard := clipboardSave
}
ctrl+c IS fired before everything is selected, but this is on purpose. the action will be repeated until the clipboard contents have changed, and the clipboard will be reset to the previous value afterwards
I had the same problem when selecting many rows from a network database.
The “Select All” command didn't have time to complete, hence making
Copy & ClipWait useless,
Here's the beautiful fix:
Loop
{
Send, ^a
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 1
if (!ErrorLevel)
break
}
Or like this if you want to limit the wait to 5 seconds:
Loop, 5
{
Send, ^a
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 1
if (!ErrorLevel)
break
}
I am attempting to set up a small test environment (homelab) using CentOS 6.6, Rancid 3.1, Looking Glass, and some Cisco Switches/Routers, with httpd acting as the handler. I have picked up a little perl by means of this endeavor, but python (more 2 than 3) is my background. Right now, everything on the rancid side of things works without issue: bin/clogin successfully logs into all of the equipment in the router.db file, and logging of the configs is working as expected. All switches/routers to be accessed are available and online, verified by ssh connection to devices as well as using bin/clogin.
Right now, I have placed the lg.cgi and lgform.cgi files into var/www/cgi-bin/ which allows the forms to be run as cgi scripts. I had to modify the files to split on ';' instead of ':' due to the change in the .db file in Rancid 3.1:#record = split('\:', $_); was replaced with: #record = split('\;', $_); etc. Once that change was made, I was able to load the lgform.cgi with the proper router.db parsing. At this point, it seemed like everything should be good to go. When I attempt to ping from one of those devices out to 8.8.8.8, the file correctly redirects to lg.cgi, and the page loads, but with
main is unavailable. Try again later.
as the error, where 'main' is the router hostname. Using this output, I was able to find the function responsible for this output. Here it is before I added anything:
sub DoRsh
{
my ($router, $mfg, $cmd, $arg) = #_;
my($ctime) = time();
my($val);
my($lckobj) = LockFile::Simple->make(-delay => $lock_int,
-max => $max_lock_wait, -hold => $max_lock_hold);
if ($pingcmd =~ /\d$/) {
`$pingcmd $router`;
} else {
`$pingcmd $router 56 1`;
}
if ($?) {
print "$router is unreachable. Try again later.\n";
return(-1);
}
if ($LG_SINGLE) {
if (! $lckobj->lock("$cache_dir/$router")) {
print "$router is busy. Try again later.\n";
return(-1);
}
}
$val = &DoCmd($router, $mfg, $cmd, $arg);
if ($LG_SINGLE) {
$lckobj->unlock("$cache_dir/$router");
}
return($val);
}
In order to dig in a little deeper, I peppered that function with several print statements. Here is the modified function, followed by the output from the loaded lg.cgi page:
sub DoRsh
{
my ($router, $mfg, $cmd, $arg) = #_;
my($ctime) = time();
my($val);
my($lckobj) = LockFile::Simple->make(-delay => $lock_int,
-max => $max_lock_wait, -hold => $max_lock_hold);
if ($pingcmd =~ /\d$/) {
`$pingcmd $router`;
} else {
`$pingcmd $router 56 1`;
}
print "About to test the ($?) branch.\n";
print "Also who is the remote_user?:' $remote_user'\n";
print "What about the ENV{REMOTE_USER} '$ENV{REMOTE_USER}'\n";
print "Here is the ENV{HOME}: '$ENV{HOME}'\n";
if ($?) {
print "$lckobj is the lock object.\n";
print "#_ something else to look at.\n";
print "$? whatever this is suppose to be....\n";
print "Some variables:\n";
print "$mfg is the mfg.\n";
print "$cmd was the command passed in with $arg as the argument.\n";
print "$pingcmd $router\n";
print "$cloginrc - Is the cloginrc pointing correctly?\n";
print "$LG_SINGLE the next value to be tested.\n";
print "$router is unreachable. Try again later.\n";
return(-1);
}
if ($LG_SINGLE) {
if (! $lckobj->lock("$cache_dir/$router")) {
print "$router is busy. Try again later.\n";
return(-1);
}
}
$val = &DoCmd($router, $mfg, $cmd, $arg);
if ($LG_SINGLE) {
$lckobj->unlock("$cache_dir/$router");
}
return($val);
}
OUTPUT:

Some variables:
cisco is the mfg.

main is unreachable. Try again later.
I can provide the code for when DoRsh is called, if necessary, but it looks mostly like this:&DoRsh($router, $mfg, $cmd, $arg);.
From what I can tell the '$?' special variable (or at least according to
this reference it is a special var) is returning the 512 value, which is causing that fork to test true. The problem is I don't know what that 512 means, nor where it is coming from. Using the ref site's description ("The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (``) command, or system operator.") and the formation of the conditional tree above, I can see that it is some error of some kind, but I don't know how else to proceed with this inspection. I'm wondering if maybe it is in response to some permission issue, since the remote_user variable is null, when I didn't expect it to be. Any guidance anyone may be able to provide would be helpful. Furthermore, if there is any information that I may have skipped over, that I didn't think to include, or that may prove helpful, please ask, and I will provide to the best of my ability
May be you put in something like
my $pingret=$pingcmd ...;
print 'Ping result was:'.$pingret;
And check the returned strings?
Situation :
There are two sensors and I want to save the data of values of each sensor in the certain file..But it's not working. I am working on linux system and the file is still empty.
What's wrong with my code? any suggestion please?
my code is:
--Header file
require("TIMER")
require("TIMESTAMP")
require("ANALOG_IN")
function OnExit()
print("Exit code...do something")
end
function main()
timer = "TIMER"
local analogsensor_1 = "AIR_1"
local analogsensor_2 = "AIR_2"
local timestr = os.data("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
-- open the file for writing binary data
local filehandle = io.open("collection_of_data.txt", "a")
while true do
valueOfSensor_1 = ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn(analogsensor_1);
valueOfSensor_2 = ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn(analogsensor_2);
if (valueOfSensor_1 > 0 and valueOfSensor_2 > 0) then
-- save values of sensors
filehandle:write(timestr, " -The Value of the Sensors: ", tostring(valueOfSensor_1), tostring(valueOfSensor_2)"\n");
end
TIMER.sleep(timer,500)
end
-- close the file
filehandle:close()
end
print("start main")
main()
I do not know what this libs realy do.
But this code is incorrect;
1) you do not close while statement.
if in real code you close it before filehandle:close() then try call filehandle:flush()
2) you forgot comma:
filehandle:write(timestr, " -The Value of the Sensors: ", tostring(valueOfSensor_1), tostring(valueOfSensor_2)"\n")
(it should seay something like attemt call a number value).
3) try print out valueOfSensor_1 and valueOfSensor_2 values. May be there no data.
Beside the typos pointed out by #moteus, shouldn't this:
if (valueOfSensor_1 and valueOfSensor_2 > 0) then
be like this?
if (valueOfSensor_1 > 0 and valueOfSensor_2 > 0) then
Edit, in response to your comment to another answer:
still error..it says "attempt to call field 'data' (a nil value)
I can't be sure without the stack trace, but, most likely, something bad happens in the ANALOG_IN library code. You may not be using it properly.
try to turn this:
valueOfSensor_1 = ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn(analogsensor_1);
valueOfSensor_2 = ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn(analogsensor_2);
into this:
success, valueOfSensor_1 = pcall(ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn, analogsensor_1);
if not success then
print("Warning: error reading the value of sensor 1:\n"..valueOfSensor_1)
valueOfSensor_1 = 0
end
success, valueOfSensor_2 = pcall(ANALOG_IN.readAnalogIn, analogsensor_2);
if not success then
print("Warning: error reading the value of sensor 2:\n"..valueOfSensor_2)
valueOfSensor_2 = 0
end
If the failure in ANALOG_IN is not systematic, it will work around it. If the call fails systematically, you'll get a huge warning log, and an empty collection_of_data.txt.
Please note that ANALOG_IN is not a standard Lua library. You should check its documentation , and pay attention to the details of its usage.
Humbling expierence here and I think this one will make a fool of me, but...I'm trying to convert an ancient cash register program to .net. Conquered everything else, but I can't pop open the cash register. Its connected to COM1, you are supposed to send a "trigger" text down COM1 that will cause the register to open.
Here is the .net code.
MsgBox("Opening Drawer")
Dim port As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
port = New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("Com1")
port.PortName = "COM1"
port.BaudRate = 9600
port.Parity = IO.Ports.Parity.None
port.DataBits = 8
port.StopBits = IO.Ports.StopBits.One
'port.Handshake = IO.Ports.Handshake.RequestToSend
port.RtsEnable = True
'port.DtrEnable = True
port.Open()
If port.IsOpen Then
'MsgBox("Attempt 1")
port.Write("####################")
MsgBox("Signal Sent: " & Chr(65))
Else
MsgBox("Port is not open")
End If
port.Close()
MsgBox("Pop, durn it!")
I get msgboxes "Signal Sent", "Done Pop Drawer"
Dang thing, just won't pop. It's an MS-Cash Drawer (EP125KC). Definitely connected to COM1, definitely has power. Chr(65) is the old code used to pop drawer and it works:
Open drawerComPort For Output Access Write As #1
Print #1, Chr$(65); "A";
Close #1
NOTE: The above code worked successfully. The root problem was caused by a reveresed power cord (negative was on the wrong side).
Thanks for all the help guys!
You've set your handshake to None but the cash drawer probably has its own idea. Also set DtrEnable to True. Chr(65) is the ASCII code for an "A", your VB code suggests the real command is "AA".
The manual documents that the cash drawer auto-tunes its baudrate. It recommends sending at least 20 # characters. And that the real command is Ctrl+G (Chr(7)). The "AA" command might have worked previously due to a baudrate mismatch. Perhaps.
If I remember my very rusty BASIC.
Print #1, Chr$(65); "A";
means print to port1 the character 65 followed by the string "A", Now the character 65 is 'A', so this looks to me like you should be sending "AA" to port1
port.Write("AA");
or alternately,
port.Write(new byte[]{65,'A'}, 0, 2);
It might be sending Unicode 65, which would be 0065, which would not end well.
Just a thought, can you try sending a raw int?
I dont use .net, but is the port buffered? do you need to send a flush/fflush()?
Are you sure you're supposed to send out this code? I would have always thought that the code is prefixed by ESC i.e. 0x1b hexadecimal...for cash drawers...
"\x1bA"
Interesting that double 'A' is used...oh well... :)
Edit: After thinking about this I realized there is another way of doing it, read on...
I have modified your original BASIC code with a bit of bullet-proofing...save it to opendrawer.bas
Sub OpenDrawer()
drawerComPort = "COM1"
Open drawerComPort For Output Access Write As #1
REM ADDED ERROR HANDLING
ON ERROR GOTO ErrHandler
Print #1, Chr$(65); "A";
Close #1
print "Drawer Ok"
OpenDrawer_Exit:
On Error Goto 0
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
print "Oops, Write Failed"
Goto OpenDrawer_Exit
End Sub
REM The Main....
OpenDrawer
Download the old QB4.5 MS-Quick Basic compiler, and compile that to an executable, into opendrawer.exe, the QB4.5 can be found here. Now, the onus is on you to make this bulletproof, i.e. what happens if writing to COM1 fails, issue a message like in the example BASIC code I modified
Then you can use the System.Diagnostics.Process to shell out using a hidden window
public class TestDrawer
{
private StringBuilder sbRedirectedOutput = new StringBuilder();
public string OutputData
{
get { return this.sbRedirectedOutput.ToString(); }
}
public void Run()
{
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo ps = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
ps.FileName = "opendrawer";
ps.ErrorDialog = false;
ps.CreateNoWindow = true;
ps.UseShellExecute = false;
ps.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
ps.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
using (System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process())
{
proc.StartInfo = ps;
proc.Exited += new EventHandler(proc_Exited);
proc.OutputDataReceived += new System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventHandler(proc_OutputDataReceived);
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
proc.BeginOutputReadLine();
while (!proc.HasExited) ;
}
}
void proc_Exited(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("proc_Exited: Process Ended");
if (this.sbRedirectedOutput.ToString().IndexOf("Oops, write failed") > -1){
MessageBox.Show(this, "Error in opening Cash Drawer");
}
if (this.sbRedirectedOutput.ToString().IndexOf("Drawer Ok") > -1){
MessageBox.Show(this, "Drawer Ok");
}
}
void proc_OutputDataReceived(object sender, System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Data != null) this.sbRedirectedOutput.Append(e.Data + Environment.NewLine);
//System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("proc_OutputDataReceived: Data: " + e.Data);
}
The process shells out to a hidden window and all output is redirected and handled in the event handler...that should do the trick. Notice, how the redirected output goes into the sbRedirectedOutput (a StringBuilder instance). In the proc_ProcExited event handler, it checks the sbRedirectedOutput for the message 'Oops Write failed' which would be issued from the QB4.5 program.
Be aware, that you may need to include the QB4.5's run-time library in the same directory...not 100% sure...it's being years...
What do you think?
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Tom.
