I'm running a project from the command line using a command like this:
sqldatacompare /Project:"C:\temp\Validation.sdc"
This ran for days (more than 4 days) without finishing. However if I open the same project in the GUI it finishes in an hour or so. Is the GUI using some additional options that I should enable at the command-line?
I'm running 13.8.0.12703.

I am trying to run a Perl CGI script (named script.cgi) on apache2 server but after executing two or three commands, it stops with errors in the log file:
"AH01215: Fatal Error:: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/script.cgi"
"AH01215: Program halted !!: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/script.cgi"
It successfully executes the first three external commands mentioned in the script but fails at the fourth one as it takes more time in generating complete results. I also tried printing the output of the command so that I could know whether the command is being executed or not, and I found that it is being executed but getting failed after a specific period of time.
I tried using Time::Out module but it is not working either. The external commands are being executed in backticks(``) because the system() is not capturing output and exec() does not wait for the command to finish and starts executing the next command.
Is there any way I could modify the timeout settings in apache2? Because I tried that too but I couldn't find any file or mod for this purpose. Please help me out.
In httpd.conf there is a Timeout directive. It usually defaults to 60 seconds.
I've got a Matlab script which needs to be run every time the system reboots. I've got the Matlab setup on a system server. The system reboots every week (On Sunday, but not specific to any time period).
Can I run the m-file every time the system reboots?
You can run any matlab script from the terminal using the command
matlab -nodisplay myfile.m
So if you include that line in a batch script, which your system runs at startup, it should be run every time your system reboots.
Running Firebird 2.5 as a service on a local 64-bit Windows 10 machine.
isql, qli and a bunch of the other tools run just fine.
However when I try an launch gfix, gbak and gstat the window barely opens before disappearing. It does this so quickly nothing is visible.
Any recommendations for dealing with this?
My actual goal at the moment is to change a firebird database from read-only to read-write. Which you can do using gfix http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/gfix-dbmode.html
If there is some other method to change to read-write I'd happily use it.
The tools gfix, gbak and gstat are command line utilities. They expect certain command line options, and they print their output to the console. If you start them by double-clicking them in explorer, or executing them from the Run prompt, a console is opened, output is written (the usage information as you haven't specified the necessary command line options), and then it exits, closing the console immediately.
This means that if you want to run them and see the output, you need to execute them from the command prompt (cmd), or from a batch-file that has pause at the end.
The fact qli and isql work by opening them from explorer (or run) is because they are interactive tools, waiting for your input.
I have a startup task for my webrole that download some executable file from a blob and then proceed to the installation.
From a .cmd file, I start a power shell script that download the files, then I start the file from the .cmd.
The script works fine if I run it manually through RDP after the publishing is done.
But, when running as startup script, it sometimes (often) fail at different points.
The taskType is set to background.
Last time, the error was that the command PowerShell does not exists...
Also, I use powershell -command set-executionpolicy unrestricted before running my PS script, but I read here that other task may reset this setting and make mine fail.
Quite a mess.
So that makes me think that if I could wait for all other task to perform before starting mine, it would eliminate these kinds of problems
I suppose I could check if some process is running and wait for it to finish, but I have no clue wich process to check.
Or maybe there's another solution.
~edit~
I read here that the error about powershell not existing may be caused by the batch file being saved as UTF-8 in visual studio. I re-writed it from scratch in notepad++ and made sure it is save as ANSI. Then, same error. The full message is :
'PowerShell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Again, the script run perfectly from command line in remote desktop.
It would be possible to set an environment variable at the end of the script that is required to finish, then in the script which is awaiting the dependencies, loop until the environment variable is set, then kick off its activities.
You could also run everything from a single powershell script and use the '-asjob' switch on your installer statement, use the 'wait-job' cmdlet to block until the task is complete then carry on. Powershell also offers a '?!' operator which ensures the last statement executed properly.
This might be caused by an encoding issue. As mentioned in this answer you should save your file in ASCII to ensure correct interpretation of your script.
From the linked answer:
Open your whatever.cmd file with your VS 2012 Ultimate. Click on File->Save whatever.cmd as -> on the dialog there is little arrow next to the [save] button. It will show up a menu that will have the option Save with Encoding.
Select it. Now choose "US-ASCII Codepage 20127" from the list of available encodings.
I have a perl script that I run from the command prompt: 3 times a day, the problem is now I need to run it every two hours. Im not going to be on an episode of lost so I need some help. Here is the command:
Perl C:/test/scripts/edi.pl
Does anyone know how this above one line command can be made into an executable (.exe) file so I can use the task scheduler to run?
If there is another way to do this with the task scheduler to run once every two hours every day then I could do that as well.
Thanks for your time.
Can you not simply create a batch file that runs the script, and set that batch file to run every two hours? I know from a quick test there that I can schedule a batch file to run from Task Scheduler on Windows XP at least.
You can actually use the task scheduler to run that exact command without a batch.
The task scheduler should allow you to pass some arguments to the script without a problem (I have done this on a few Windows servers in order to have them run PHP scripts)
