I know how to get the serial number of a mac computer using objective c but wondered if there was a way using c# (mono)?
Obviously this is to uniquely identify a machine. I am already using the MAC address but need something which can't be spoofed.
THe following should give you the serial number. Though it is not purely via mono. But this should work.
string serialNumber;
using (var p = new Process())
{
var serialRegex = new Regex("\"IOPlatformSerialNumber\" = \"(\\S+)\"");
p.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("/usr/sbin/ioreg",
"-c IOPlatformExpertDevice");
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.Start();
serialNumber = serialRegex.Match(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()).Groups[1].Captures[0].Value;
p.WaitForExit();
}

I want to know how to interact with shell from Mono and I can't seem to find very much information about this. For example, I want to return the output of "ls" and stick it into a variable - Is this even possible?
Here's what I have so far:
var proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "ls";
proc.Start ();
proc.Close ()
It is possible to get the shell output. Please try the following -
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("/bin/ls", "-l")
{
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
UseShellExecute = false
};
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
//The output of the shell command will be in the outPut variable after the
//following line is executed
var outPut = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
the following code connects to a remote pc and execute the process try.exe located on that pc.
string prcToRun = "\"C:\\try.exe\" \"";;
object[] theProcessToRun = { prcToRun };
ConnectionOptions theConnection = new ConnectionOptions();
theConnection.Username = "domain\\user";
theConnection.Password = "password.";
ManagementScope theScope = new ManagementScope("\\\\192.168.1.1\\root\\cimv2", theConnection);
ManagementClass theClass = new ManagementClass(theScope, new ManagementPath("Win32_Process"), new ObjectGetOptions());
theScope.Connect();
theClass.InvokeMethod("Create", theProcessToRun);
It works fine, because "try.exe" does what I expect. However I'd like to obtain back the result of try.exe execution. Is it possibile with wmi? At least I need to know when try.exe ends, but it would be better return a value. I know it would be possibile with psexec, but I can't use it.
Thank you
I'm running MDS on a virtual machine and trying to access the service from my host OS.
I've been able to add something to the database but my data is all over the place and in the Master Data Manager (website) I don't see the new member.
I suppose I shouldn't be using Attributes but something else but what and how? Are there tutorials because I can't find any ...?
Here's the code I'm using:
International international = new International();
EntityMembers entityMembers = new EntityMembers();
// Set the modelId, versionId, and entityId.
entityMembers.ModelId = new Identifier { Name = modelName };
entityMembers.VersionId = new Identifier { Name = versionName };
entityMembers.EntityId = new Identifier { Name = entityName };
entityMembers.MemberType = memberType;
Collection<Member> members = new Collection<Member>();
Member aNewMember = new Member();
aNewMember.MemberId = new MemberIdentifier() { Name = employee.FullName, Code = aNewCode, MemberType = memberType };
Collection<MDS.Attribute> attributes = new Collection<MDS.Attribute>();
MDS.Attribute attrOrgUnit = new MDS.Attribute();
attrOrgUnit.Identifier = new Identifier() { Name = "OrganizationalUnit" };
attrOrgUnit.Value = employee.OrganizationalUnit;
attrOrgUnit.Type = AttributeValueType.String;
attributes.Add(attrOrgUnit);
aNewMember.Attributes = attributes.ToArray();
members.Add(aNewMember);
entityMembers.Members = members.ToArray();
// Create a new entity member
OperationResult operationResult = new OperationResult();
clientProxy.EntityMembersCreate(international, entityMembers, false, out operationResult);
HandleOperationErrors(operationResult);
I have been able to fix my own problem.
First of all: creating separate variables with collections and converting them to arrays afterwards is not necessary. The code from the tutorials works but fails to mention that, when adding the service reference, you have to configure it (right-click on the service reference -> configure) to use Collections as "Collection type" instead of arrays and to generate message contracts.
Second, the code above with the attributes is correct and works perfectly. The problem I had which failed to add messages with attributes was unrelated. It was a connection/authentication problem between my Host OS and Guest OS.
Hope this helps someone.
activeDocument.fitArtboardToSelectedArt()
When calling this command, AI crashes on AI 5.1/6 32bit and 64bit versions. I can use the command from the menu. Has anyone encountered this? does anyone know of a work around?
The full code.
function exportFileToJPEG (dest) {
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
activeDocument.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard()
activeDocument.fitArtboardToSelectedArt()//crashes here
activeDocument.rearrangeArtboards()
var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
var type = ExportType.JPEG;
var fileSpec = new File(dest);
exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
exportOptions.qualitySetting = 70;
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
}
}
var file_name = 'some eps file.eps'
var eps_file = File(file_name)
var fileRef = eps_file;
if (fileRef != null) {
var optRef = new OpenOptions();
optRef.updateLegacyText = true;
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB, optRef);
}
exportFileToJPEG ("output_file.jpg")
I can reproduce the bug with AI CS5.
It seems that fitArtboardToSelectedArt() takes the index of an artboard as an optional parameter. When the parameter is set, Illustrator doesn't crash. (probably a bug in the code handling the situation of no parameter passed)
As a workaround you could use:
activeDocument.fitArtboardToSelectedArt(
activeDocument.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()
);
to pass the index of the active artboard with to the function. Hope this works for you too.
Also it's good practice to never omit the semicolon at the end of a statement.
I have a problem running the NativeProcess if I put spaces in the arguments
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
fPath = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe";
args.push("/c");
args.push(scriptDir.resolvePath("helloworld.bat").nativePath);
}
file = new File(fPath);
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
args.push("blah");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
in the above code, if I use
args.push("blah") everything works fine
if I use
args.push("blah blah") the program breaks as if the file wasn't found.
Seems like I'm not the only one:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/159521
As one of the users their pointed out, it really seems like an awful limitation by a cutting edge SDK of 21st century. Even Alex Harui didn't have the answer there and he's known to workaround every Adobe bug:)
Any ideas?
I am using AIR 2.6 SDK in JavaScript like this, and it is working fine even for spaces.
please check your code with this one.
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("apps");
if (air.Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
file = file.resolvePath(appFile);
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo = new air.NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new air.NativeProcess();
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_PROGRESS, inputProgressListener);
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
To expand on this: The reason that this works (see post above):
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
is that air expects that the arguments being passed to the nativeProcess are delimited by spaces. It chokes if you pass "C:\folder with spaces\myfile.doc" (and BTW for AIR a file path for windows needs to be "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc") you would need to do this:
args.push("C:\\folder");
args.push("with");
args.push("spaces\\myfile.doc");
Hence, something like this works:
var processArgs = new air.Vector["<String>"]();
var path = "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc"
var args = path.split(" ")
for (var i=0; i<args.length; i++) {
processArgs.push(args[i]);
};
UPDATE - SOLUTION
The string generated by the File object by either nativePath or resolvePath uses "\" for the path. Replace "\" with "/" and it works.
I'm having the same problem trying to call 7za.exe using NativeProcess. If you try to access various windows directories the whole thing fails horribly. Even trying to run command.exe and calling a batch file fails because you still have to try to pass a path with spaces through "arguments" on the NativeProcessStartupInfo object.
I've spent the better part of a day trying to get this to work and it will not work. Whatever happens to spaces in "arguments" totally destroys the path.
Example 7za.exe from command line:
7za.exe a MyZip.7z "D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map"
This works fine. Now try that with Native Process in AIR. The AIR arguments sanitizer is FUBAR.
I have tried countless ways to put in arguments and it just fails. Interesting I can get it to spit out a zip file but with no content in the zip. I figure this is due to the first argument set finally working but then failing for the path argument.
For example:
processArgs[0] = 'a';
processArgs[1] = 'D:\apps\flash builder 4.5\project1\bin-debug\MyZip.7z';
processArgs[2] = 'D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map';
For some reason this spits out a zip file named: bin-debugMyZip.7z But the zip is empty.
Whatever AIR is doing it is fraking up path strings. I've tried adding quotes around those paths in various ways. Nothing works.
I thought I could fall back on calling a batch file from this example:
http://technodesk.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/air-2-0-native-process-batch-file/
But it fails as well because it still requires the path to be passed through arguments.
Anyone have any luck calling 7z or dealing with full paths in the NativeProcess? All these little happy tutorials don't deal with real windows folder structure.
Solution that works for me - set path_with_space as "nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory" property. See example below:
public function openPdf(pathToPdf:String):void
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(pathToPdf).parent;
var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs[0] = "/k";
processArgs[1] = "start";
processArgs[2] = "test.pdf";
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
}
args.push( '"blah blah"' );
Command line after all supports spaces if they are nested whithin "".
So if lets say you have a file argument :
'test/folder with space/blah'
Convert it to the following
'test/"folder with space"/blah'
Optionally use a filter:
I once had a problem like this in AIR, i just simply filter the text before i push it into the array. My refrence use CASA lib though
import org.casalib.util.ArrayUtil;
http://casalib.org/
/**
* Filters a string input for 'safe handling', and returns it
**/
public function stringFilter(inString:String, addPermitArr:Array = null, permitedArr:Array = null):String {
var sourceArr:Array = inString.split(''); //Splits the string input up
var outArr:Array = new Array();
if(permitedArr == null) {
permitedArr = ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890" as String).split('');
}
if( addPermitArr != null ) {
permitedArr = permitedArr.concat( addPermitArr );
}
for(var i:int = 0; i < sourceArr.length; i++) {
if( ArrayUtil.contains( permitedArr, sourceArr[i] ) != 0 ) { //it is allowed
outArr.push( sourceArr[i] );
}
}
return (outArr.join('') as String);
}
And just filter it via
args.push( stringFilter( 'blah blah', new Array('.') ) );
Besides, it is really bad practice to use spaces in file names / arguments, use '_' instead. This seems to be originating from linux though. (The question of spaces in file names)
This works for me on Windws7:
var Xargs:Array = String("/C#echo#a trully hacky way to do this :)#>#C:\\Users\\Benjo\\AppData\\Roaming\\com.eblagajna.eBlagajna.POS\\Local Store\\a.a").split("#");
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
for (var i:int=0; i<Xargs.length; i++) {
trace("Pushing: "+Xargs[i]);
args.push(Xargs[i]);
};
NPI.arguments = args;
If your application path or parameter contains spaces, make sure to wrap it in quotes. For example path of the application has spaces C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe use quotes like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe"
