I accidentally screwed up my darktable configuration, so I reloaded it from scratch. To avoid losing all my recorded changes I have done to my pictures, I wrote a powershell backup script for the darktable database. I want to launch this script from the windows task scheduler when ever I launch darktable. I have found the event id which indicates in the security log of a new process has occurred which I should be able to use to automatically launch my backup script from task scheduler. I want to add code to the script to check the services to see if darktable is actually running and only perform the backup if it is. Anyone know how I can identify this?

I have a notebook instance with a notebook file. I use the instance's startup script to run this notebook file using papermill.
I want the notebook file to be run only when I remotely start the instance, and not from google cloud console.
I'd like to know if one of these is possible, or if there's another solution:
1 - The script will detect that the instance was started from the dashboard.
2 - I will remove the startups script and use another script that can be run by a remote command.
3 - The shutdown script will remove the startup script.
Script definition is kept under /var/run/google.startup.script for the scenarios mentioned:
Seems complicated detect if the instance was started from the dashboard.
Is feasible to delete the startup script mentioned earlier, and run your own script remotely.
Delete the script.
Before to delete the scrip I suggest you to make a backup of it in case of any issue arises for delete it, also keep in mind that AI Platform Notebooks is a managed service, any admin configuration could cause potential issues in your instance, be careful when deleting or modifying the startup script.
My advise will be actually run a notebook via a Scheduler system, I posted here the multiple options: GCP run a prediction of a model every day
I have a process in windows which i am running in startup. Now i need to make it if somehow that process get killed or stopped i need to restart it again in Windows 10?
Is there any way. Process is a HTTP server which if somehow stopped in windows i need to restart it. I have tried of writing a power-shell in which I'll check task-list status of process and then if not found I'll restart but that is not a good way. Please suggest some good way to do it.
I have a golang exe; under a particular scenario my process got killed or stopped i need to start it up again automatically. This has to be done imediately after the exe got killed. What is the best way to achieve this?
I will give you a brief rundown. You can enable Audit Process Termination in local group policy of the machine as shown below. In your case, success audits would be enough. Please note that the pic is for Windows 7. It may change with OS.
Now every time a process gets terminated, a success event will be generated and written to the security eventlog.
This will allow you to create a task scheduler that triggers on the generation of this event that calls a script that would run the process again. Simple right?
Well, you might have some trouble setting that task up especially when you want to pass details about the generating event to the script. This should help you get through that.
You can user Task scheduler for this purpose. There is a option of "restart on failure" which can be selected and whenever your process get failed it will restart again.

I have a new project at work, for customer, that require me to do an OEM image creation.
The pre
The idea would be deploy OEM image, it will install, and deploy all software, and then shutdown. Once started back up it will prompt users to chose pc name, select Domain to join and regional settings.
I think i can do this by using a powershell script and wrapping it up in an msi and add it to MDT with no silent install switches (so that it prompts users to manually go through the steps)
Now my issue is how do i inject a powershell script as well as ensure that if this scipt has user input required, that it actually prompts the user to input the data (is this even possible with Wix?)
WiX is able to install files, configure Windows settings, interact with SQL Servers, and etc, but you are working with an installer file. It is not possible to receive input from the end user after a system reboot from WiX alone since you can run a PowerShell script while the system is active, but once it restarts, the process will get terminated and has to be restarted. Unless there is some way to schedule the PowerShell script in Windows such as running it from a service created in C#.
What I have: I have Windows 7 on my home PC.
What I'm trying to do: I'm trying to keep TeamViewer running at home so I can always get to my home computer. The other day it got completely messed up and would not let me connect but everything else on the PC was just fine.
Items I've looked at:
I looked at this thread and it does not seem to apply to what I need:
Is it possible to start Teamviewer, to accept connections, from commandline?
... but it does not appear to be what I'm looking for.
I have looked at this:
https://serverfault.com/questions/48600/how-can-i-automatically-restart-a-windows-service-if-it-crashes
... and to test the script at the above URL, I stopped a service on my computer and pointed the above vbs script to that service and the vbs script will not restart that service, so that's not working.
What's happening:
From time to time on my home computer, TeamViewer hangs or gets messed up in some way and I cannot connect to my home computer. The last time this happened, the TeamViewer UI was still running but there was a little red dot next to the tray icon and the id numbers and password were blank in the UI so I had to right click and kill it and restart the computer and all was OK.
What I'd like to do:
Is there a way I can run some kind of script or something that will completely kill all TeamViewer processes and services and restart it completely? I'd like to schedule this type of activity once an hour so I can be assured of pretty much always being able to get into my home computer or else just wait an hour and it should be back up and available?
I have 20 years in IT with networking background, databases, GUI development, website development, hardware and software installation but no experience in brain surgery. I've given it a good try but am now asking for some help.
Thanks.
I think that task scheduler, taskkill and batch script is your friend here.
create a batch file to stop any current team viewer process and then restart it.
crate a batch file something like:
taskkill /IM TeamViewer.exe
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe"
(substitute the path to TeamViewer.exe on your own machine).
Then create an hourly scheduled task to run the script using the highest privileges (using Windows Task Scheduler).
Lookup taskkill for more info on killing tasks from the command line.
Just to add that you'll have to have the PC in a associated in your teamviewer account in a group (e.g. My Computers) and use the same account to connect - otherwise the password change on restart will prevent you connecting (you won't know the new password).
I am using Putty to transfer files from my windows machine to Linux machine.
I am able to transfer, when i run the script and also if i run the same script using Schedule task with my credentials.
if schedule the task to run using system account(SYSTEM) or other user account, file transfer not happening.
Do i need to save any session vales?
PuTTY saves session information in the registry for the current user only, this information will simply be not available for the other accounts you mentioned. So you either need to provide them by exporting yours and importing them in the other user's accounts or simply provide everything needed on the shell command invoked to copy your files. The latter sounds much easier to me in combination with a little script which gets invoked by the task scheduler.
