Does anyone know if its possible to have Rundeck (or another open source scheduler) kickoff a job based on a file being detected on it's filesystem?
For ProActive, an open source scheduler, we developed a small script that would allow you to do that and check the changes in a folder for a selected period.
Directory Monitoring Script
Let me know if you have any issue.

Introduction
I've looked around and haven't seen anyone else having my issue.
Basically, I am wanting to run a start.bat file to start up my server before I start up my debugging session. I currently have my debugging inside of an IntelliJ Configuration and it works well. The problem is that in the options for my configuration I can't seem to add an "External Tools" task to the Before Launch section. I was able to add a maven task here previously. However, when I follow the following steps, the "start.bat" is not added.
First I go into Settings->Tools->External Tools to add my Spigot-Server tool which basically calls the start.bat file inside of a test-server directory.

Second, I go into my "Debug Spigot" configuration and at the bottom, I see a "Before Launch" Section.

I click on the + inside of that section to add a new task, and I click on "External Tools"

And then I make sure my Spigot-Server task is selected.

And then once I hit okay, the window closes but I don't see a new task added to the before launch section. It looks the same it did before I clicked on anything. I also don't see any status message at the bottom of IntelliJ
I basically expect the task "Spigot-Server" to show under the Before Launch section. This would basically start up the server and once the server was completely started, it would then launch the debugging configuration.
I think it may be an issue with IntelliJ's UI. I searched IntelliJ's issue tracker But couldn't find any that matched.
I'm wanting to know if there are any work arounds to get this setup in IntelliJ>
I was able to achieve my goal by doing some workarounds that I discovered with the help of CrazyCoder. I found this stackoverflow question that told me about the batch plugin.
I was able to create a Batch run configuration for a wrapper batch file that gets around the limitation CrazyCoder mentioned. He said that even if I did get my setup where my server runs before my debugging is launched, my debugging would never launch. This is because the terminal process needs to exit before the next task starts.
To get around this this is the wrapper batch file I created.
#echo OFF
START "Spigot-Server" /D C:\Users\rocke\Documents\Programming\Minecraft\Spigot\capture-the-carrot\test-server "start.bat"
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1 >nul
It basically uses the "START" command to run the task asynchronously and then waits 2 seconds. This is because all I need to do is wait for the start.bat command to run the very first part so that it establishes remote debugging. And then the wrapper ends after 2 seconds (the 3 represents the number of seconds I want to wait +1). And this allows the Debugging process to start while also ensuring that the server has setup remote debugging!
I'll just share screenshots of my configuration if anyone wants to do the same.
Maven Build Configuration
Spigot Server Start Configuration
Remote Debugging Configuration
The way this is setup is once I run the Remote Debugging Configuration, it has a "Before Launch" Task of Spigot Server. Spigot Server also has a "Before Launch" Task of Maven Build Project.
So my Maven Build Project runs, then my Spigot Server wrapper runs and after 2 seconds terminates, and then my Debugging Configuration runs!

I have a self hosted asp.net core app deployed and in use in an enterprise environment on Windows Server 2012.
I am looking for a way to automate the update process, I am currently doing this through a bat file but keep getting windows file lock errors where the file cannot be deleted. The process I am following in the bat file is as follows:
kill the dotnet core process for the web app
clear the directory (after sleep for a couple of seconds)
copy the updates over
restart the web app
I am getting the errors in 2 where I try to clear out the existing directory which still has file locks even though I have killed the process - "Cannot delete output file - access is denied".
My question is how can I upgrade the self contained asp.net core web app in place and avoid the file locks? If the site is offline for a few seconds it is not an issue.
Thanks
There a several reasons i can think of that deleting the directory gives access denied errors.
Your process isn't actually stopped yet. I know you can use powershell to await until porcess is stopped. (or check if process is stopped yet and otherwise wait 3 more seconds)
Another process still runs in this folder. (maybe even a command line, or explorer.exe is opened in the folder.)
You need admin rights to delete this folder.
The bat file you are executing executes from this directory, and itself is locking the directory.
Try one of the following:
powershell Stop-Service.
It should wait until service is really stopped.
powershell Wait-Process Waits untill process is stopped. you can call this directly after Stop-Process
Try to run powershell to wait like this for example (in commandline):
powershell -Command "Wait-Process -Name MyProcess"`
(warning you might run into ExecutionPolicy problems)
Tip
Use msdeploy, you can remote execute commands and deploy your application.
You can use pre and post scripts (to stop and start the app) and msdeploy it self will sync the folder/directory for you.
I have an application where I manually go in and back up certain files(1), and manually copy those files via WinSCP(2).
I would like to be able to use two scripts/ cron jobs to automate these tasks.
Here are the steps/commands I use to back up the files:
sudo as admin
cd to directory
export PATH=$PATH:/<filePath>/
./export-<appData.sh Backups/ /<filePath>/
Once that is complete, I will login to WINSCP and look in the directory where the data is backed up. I copy them over to the Backups shared directory manually.
Any help with creating a script/cron job to automate this process would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
You can create a shared drive in windows that can be accessible through sambha in linux ; then make a script that can copy from your linux server to windows server.
I hope this will be useful.
I am using the 7zip standalone .exe to unzip a file. I am using the Execute Process task for this. I have tested this over and over again on multiple machines and I know it works (at least in debug mode/visual studio). I have uploaded this package the server. I have created a job that calls said package from the Package Store. The package is not able to find the .exe no matter where I put it.
My first thought was to put the .exe on the C:\ drive, which failed. I have also failed in my attempts to place the .exe on a network location that the account the package is running under has full control over.
Basically, has anybody else had issues getting the Execute Process Task to find an executable when the package is uploaded to the server?
The error message is
Can't find 7za.exe in directory C:\7zip
I'll risk a downvote for being wrong, but I believe you have a permission issue.
You say it runs fine on other servers from BIDS, try it without BIDS. Call it from a command-line on a box that it works on.
dtexec.exe /file C:\HereComesTheUnzipper.dtsx
If that works, then repeat the step on the troublesome server. RDC into the box and try again
dtexec.exe /ser localhost /sq HereComesTheUnzipper
If that still works, then you are looking at an issue with the job. What account is the SQL Agent service running as? Is the SSIS job step running as a particular set of credentials? If so, is it a SQL Server login (which wouldn't map to anything on the physical box)? Regardless of what your answer is, the resolution will be to ensure the account has access to
7z.exe
whatever scratch area 7zip may use while unpacking files (I assume %temp%)
the output folder (C:\bin\7z.exe -e e:\data\MyThing.7z)
I am having issues with credentials being cached on a few of the laptops that area available to students at my university.
I have found that if i remove (remove not edit to NULL) a registry entry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\EAPOL\UserEapInfo
this solves the problem.
Im also pretty sure that this will delete the registry entry through the command line
REG DELETE HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\EAPOL\UserEapInfo /f
What I need to know is how to make this line run when the machine is logged into.
A Scheduled Task maybe what you are looking for:
save your command into a .bat file somewhere
Go to Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks > Add Scheduled Task
config the scheduled task to run your .bat file, and schedule it to run "when I logon"
