I have a web server running on a virtual machine and I need some actions (e.g. "service apache2 reload") to be performed there automatically after I'll deploy my code from Idea
Automatically -- no way AFAIK.

The only manual solutions I may suggest right now are:
either keep SSH console opened (IDE has it built-in) and execute such command manually once deployed
or create "Remote SSH External Tools" entry that will do such job (connect and issue specified command) manually after deployment (once created you can assign custom shortcut to it so it can be run more easier).
In both cases -- check this manual.

I have a JOB done in SPOON, which is executed without problems in the command line, but I would like to know if there is any software in which I can execute these JOBS and go to see the execution visually. The idea is that for the most pleasant exploitation area these tasks are executed.
You have two solutions:
Carte:
Use the carte server which is shipped with the PDI. Install the PDI on any server, launch carte (specifying the port), then you can execute/view/stop/restart job/transformation from any browser. Documentation is here.
Of course you can launch a job/transformation from your own PDI. Just define a new Slave server, on the left panel, tab view, default username/password = cluster/cluster. Then each time you run a job/transformation, choose the carte server, instead of Pentaho/local in the Run configuration.
Loggin
If you just want to follow job/transformation, you may use the database logging: Right-click any where, Parameters, Logging, Job/Transformation, then define a database, a table and a logging interval of 2 seconds.
Then every two seconds, the line_read, line_written, errors, and log_field are written to a database. This database can be read by an external process and displayed on the screen or on a browser.
This method is used in the github/ETL-pilot which uses a tomcat (because you probably have a tomcat already running with a Pentaho server), but can easily be adapted to a nodejs or any other server. (If you do it and OpenSource it, please add a link to your work on our github).
I have installed CouchDB on my Windows machine but while starting the CouchDB service, I am getting a message like:
Windows could not start the Apache CouchDB service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
As the service is not running, I am unable to access Fauxton too.
I am using Windows 7. CouchDB is 2.0.0. Port 5984 is not in use.
I don't think your question is a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/a/44107335/219187 because you are on Windows 7, and the problem described there is for Windows 10 with the creators update.
But maybe the solution fixes your problem as well? Here is the procedure:
Download the prelease build 2.2.4-101 from https://nssm.cc/download
Stop the CouchDB service through the Windows Services dialog (paused is not enough)
Overwrite nssm.exe in <CouchDbInstallDir>\bin with the one from the downloaded ZIP file (make sure you pick the right version 32 bit / 64 bit)
Start the CouchDB service
Issue it's happening since the last updates released by Microsoft. I'm not completely aware of what's causing it, but I think it's something related to CouchDB service not been able to start using Local Administrator rights.
However I've managed to start the service manually, by doing so:
Open Command Prompt - in the Search from the Start Menu or Task Bar type "cmd"
Run it as an Administrator - right click on the Command Prompt application and choose "Run as administrator" option /this is really IMPORTANT as it will allow the service to have administrator access/
Navigate to the folder where CouchDB is install - default path is "D:/CouchDB", but could be anywhere else; you have to find it
Go to the "bin" folder in there
Type "couchdb" as a command to start the service
You will see a message showing after this - "kernel-poll not supported; "K" parameter ignored"
If it adds some error messages after it or closes the whole terminal, you're making some things bad from this guide, so follow it strictly.
You can now open up the Fauxton application in the browser like normal from here - http://localhost:5984/_utils/
Keep in mind that you have to leave the cmd opened in order the service to be working as expected. As far as I saw no information was lost, so it's all good.
This is a temporary solution though, as we are waiting a relase from either Microsoft or Apache to solve the issue, or at least give us more explanation about it.
i just met the same problem.
the cause is space, you have to install CouchDB in a path without any space, even Program Files folder, because there is a space between Program and Files...
I am launching a launchAgent from a post install script using the following command:
su -l $LOGGED_IN_USER -c "/bin/launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.myApp.mac.agent.plist"
The agent displays a status item (NSStatusItem) with a couple of menu options. One of them has a settings option. Clicking this will open an NSWindow, with few NSTextFields. At times, though this window is the top most, whatever I type goes to the underlying app. I am unable to type anything into the text field. Whenever this happens, I notice the following log in the console:
WindowServer[97]: [cps/setfront] Failed setting the front application to MyApp, psn 0x0-0xb20b2, securitySessionID=0x186c5, err=-600
This is not a consistent behaviour. Any idea why this log comes? And is there any work around for this? Is it ok to launch the agent using su -l?
I don't know exactly why you're getting that error and behavior. I recommend reading Technical Note TN2083: Daemons and Agents. It explains in detail the various facets of the execution context of a process and how that affects what a process can do. That includes whether or not a process can connect to the Window Server.
For what it's worth, error -600 is procNotFound, whose description is "no eligible process with specified descriptor". It seems that the Window Server is not able to find a process with the given process serial number (PSN) in the given security session.
I would not use -l in your sudo command. A user's login scripts can do all sorts of crazy things and you don't those done by your installer. However, I don't believe that's related to the main problem.
How can I stop and then restart an IIS 7 application pool from an MSBuild script running inside TeamCity. I want to deploy our nightly builds to an IIS server for out testers to view.
I have tried using appcmd like so:
appcmd stop apppool /apppool.name:MYAPP-POOL
... but I have run into elevation issues in Windows 2008 that so far have stopped me from being able to run that command from my TeamCity build process because Windows 2008 requires elevation in order to run appcmd.
If I do not stop the application pool before I copy my files to the web server my MSBuild script is unable to copy the files to the server.
Has anybody else seen and solved this issue when deploying web sites to IIS from TeamCity?
This article describes using an htm file named App_offline.htm to take a site offline. Once the IIS detectes this file in the root of a web application directory,
ASP.NET 2.0 will shut-down the application, unload the application
domain from the server, and stop processing any new incoming requests
for that application.
In App_offline-htm, you can put a user-friendly message indicating that the site is currently under maintainance.
Jason Lee shows the MSDeploy calls you need to use (plus much more about integrating these steps in your build scripts!).
MSDeploy
-verb:sync
-source:contentPath="[absolute_path]App_offline-Template.htm"
-dest:contentPath="name_of_site/App_offline.htm",computerName="copmuter_name",
username=user_with_administrative priviliges,password=passwort
After deployment you can remove the App_offline.htm file using the following call:
MSDeploy
-verb:delete
-dest:contentPath="name_of_site/App_offline.htm",computerName="computer_name",
username=user_with_administrative_priviliges,password=passwort
The msbuild community tasks includes an AppPoolController that appears to do what you want (though as noted it is dated and at present only supports IIS6.) An example:
<AppPoolController ApplicationPoolName="MyAppPool" Action="Restart" />
Note that you can also provide a username and password if necessary.
Edit: Just noticed that the MSBuild Extension Pack has an Iis7AppPool task that is probably more appropriate.
this is the fairly hackey workaround I ended up using:
1) Set up a limited-access account for your service to run as. Since I'm running a CruiseControl.NET service, I'll call my user 'ccnet'. He does NOT have admin rights.
2) Make a new local user account, and assign to the Administrators group (I'll call him 'iis_helper' for this example). Give him some password, and set it to never expire.
3) Change iis_helper's access permissions to NOT allow local login or remote desktop login, and anything else you might want to do to lock down this account.
4) Log in (either locally or through remote desktop) as your non-admin user, 'ccnet' in this example.
5) Open a command terminal, and use the 'runas' command to execute whatever it is that needs to be run escalated. Use the /savecred option. Specify your new administrative user.
runas /savecred /user:MYMACHINE\iis_helper "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe"
The first time it will prompt you for 'iis_helper's password. After that, it will be stored thanks to the /savecred option (this is why we're running it once from a real command prompt, so we can enter the password once).
6) Assuming that command executed OK, you can now log out. I then logged back in as a local admin and turned off the 'ccnet' user for local interactive login, and remote desktop. The account is only used to run a service, but no real logins. This isnt a mandatory step.
7) Set up your service to run as your user account ('ccnet').
8) Configure whatever service is running (CruiseControl.NET in my case) to execute the 'runas' command instead of 'appcmd.exe' directly, the same as before:
replace:
"C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe" start site "My Super Site"
with:
runas /savecred /user:MYMACHINE\iis_helper "\"C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe\" start site \"My Super Site\""
The thing to note there is that the command should be in one set of quotes, with all the inner quotes escaped (slash-quote).
9) Test, call it a day, hit the local pub.
Edit: I apparently did #9 in the wrong order and had a few too many before testing...
This method also doesn't completely work. It does attempt to run as the administrative account, however it still runs as a non-escalated process under the administrative user, so still no admin permissions. I didn't initially catch the failure because the 'runas' command spawns a separate cmd window then closes right away, so I wasn't seeing the failure output.
Its starting to seem like the only real possibility might be writing a windows service that will run as admin, and its only purpose is to run appcmd.exe, then somehow call that service to start/stop IIS.
Isn't it great how UAC is there to secure things, but in actuality just unsecures more servers, because anything you want to do you have to do as admin, so its easier to just always run everything as admin and forget it?
You can try changing the Build Agent Service settings to log-on as a normal user account instead of SYSTEM (the default), this can be done from the services control panel (Start | Run | services.msc).
If it doesn't help, you can also try configuring the appcmd to always run elevated, refer to this document for details.
In case such option is not available for appcmd or it still doesn't work, you can disable UAC completely for this user.
Here you go. You can use this from CC.NET with NAnt or just with NAnt:

Is there a WLST command to stop a Weblogig deployment? (i.e. the opposite of the nmStart() command)
If so, what is it?
I am changing database passwords and I want to shutdown all deployments so all connections will close. Currently I have to log into the console to shut everything down and I am looking for a quicker way.
I'd say nmKill but I'm not sure about the terminology you are using. The nmStart is used to start a server in the current domain using Node Manager, not to start a "deployment".
By the way, the WLS Console provides a recording feature that writes out the edits you make in the console to a WLST script. This can be very handy if you are not a WLST expert. To turn on recording, click 'Record' (in the the toolbar near the top of the page). Then, make your edits in the console. Finally, turn the recording off when you're done.
The more usual method, which is independant of whether you're using node manager or not, would be the shutdown command which is also able to work at the cluster level.
