Everytime when I work with Perl (only through cmd) I put in C:\Perl520\Perl64\bin\perl.exe before my script Test.pl.
Now I want to run my script by only typing Test.pl. I have already looked through similiar questions like:
https://docs.sdl.com/791187/706364/sdl-contenta-5-7/associating--pl-files-with-strawberry-perl--windows-only-
How Do I Run a Perl Script from Cmd without typing "perl" in front of the script path?
I want to change this WITHOUT needing Admin Rights, as these are restricted on my computer.
I have even tried writing this in cmd:
assoc .pl=PerlScript
ftype PerlScript=C:\Perl520\Perl64\bin\perl.exe "%1" %*
Also here I keep getting the error message "Access is denied".
Is it possible to change the settings in another way?
EDIT: I managed to make it work through the first link. Yet I couldn't make it further after step 6 as once again I would need admin rights.
At least I am now able to run a script by just typing Test.pl.
But when using an input file :Test.pl C:\input.txt
I once again get an error message "Could not locate file!"
When writing it like this, it works as usual:
C:\Perl520\Perl64\bin\perl.exe Test.pl C:\input.txt
AFAIK, the file type association mechanism does require local admin rights. You can right-click on the script file and then pick perl.exe from the "Open With" menu, but that won't let you pass command line arguments to the string.
You might just want to run pl2bat on scripts you use often.
I have a scenario where I need to run a linux shell command frequently (with different filenames) from windows. I am using PuTTY and WinSCP to do that (requires login name and password). The file is copied to a predefined folder in the linux machine through WinSCP and then the command is run from PuTTY. Is there a way by which I can automate this through a program. Ideally I would like to right click the file from windows and issue the command which would copy the file to remote machine and run the predefined command (in PuTTy) with the filename as argument.
Putty usually comes with the "plink" utility.
This is essentially the "ssh" command line command implemented as a windows .exe.
It pretty well documented in the putty manual under "Using the command line tool plink".
You just need to wrap a command like:
plink root#myserver /etc/backups/do-backup.sh
in a .bat script.
You can also use common shell constructs, like semicolons to execute multiple commands. e.g:
plink read#myhost ls -lrt /home/read/files;/etc/backups/do-backup.sh
There could be security issues with common methods for auto-login.
One of the most easiest ways is documented below:
Running Putty from the Windows Command Line
And as for the part the executes the command
In putty UI, Connection>SSH> there's a field for remote command.
4.17 The SSH panel
The SSH panel allows you to configure
options that only apply to SSH
sessions.
4.17.1 Executing a specific command on the server
In SSH, you don't have to run a
general shell session on the server.
Instead, you can choose to run a
single specific command (such as a
mail user agent, for example). If you
want to do this, enter the command in
the "Remote command" box.
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.53/htmldoc/Chapter4.html
in short, your answers might just as well be similar to the text below:
let Putty run command in remote server
You can write a TCL script and establish SSH session to that Linux machine and issue commands automatically. Check http://wiki.tcl.tk/11542 for a short tutorial.
You can create a putty session, and auto load the script on the server, when starting the session:
putty -load "sessionName"
At remote command, point to the remote script.
You can do both tasks (the upload and the command execution) using WinSCP. Use WinSCP script like:
option batch abort
option confirm off
open your_session
put %1%
call script.sh
exit
Reference for the call command:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_call
Reference for the %1% syntax:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting#syntax
You can then run the script like:
winscp.exe /console /script=script_path\upload.txt /parameter file_to_upload.dat
Actually, you can put a shortcut to the above command to the Windows Explorer's Send To menu, so that you can then just right-click any file and go to the Send To > Upload using WinSCP and Execute Remote Command (=name of the shortcut).
For that, go to the folder %USERPROFILE%\SendTo and create a shortcut with the following target:
winscp_path\winscp.exe /console /script=script_path\upload.txt /parameter %1
See Creating entry in Explorer's "Send To" menu.
Here is a totally out of the box solution.
Install AutoHotKey (ahk)
Map the script to a key (e.g. F9)
In the ahk script,
a) Ftp the commands (.ksh) file to the linux machine
b) Use plink like below. Plink should be installed if you have putty.
plink sessionname -l username -pw password test.ksh
or
plink -ssh example.com -l username -pw password test.ksh
All the steps will be performed in sequence whenever you press F9 in windows.
Code:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace playSound
{
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(args[0]);
Process amixerMediaProcess = new Process();
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = false;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = false;
amixerMediaProcess.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0}","-ssh username#"+args[0]+" -pw password -m commands.txt");
amixerMediaProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "plink.exe";
amixerMediaProcess.Start();
Console.Write("Presskey to continue . . . ");
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
}
}

Try MtPutty,
you can automate the ssh login in it. Its a great tool especially if you need to login to multiple servers many times. Try it here
Another tool worth trying is TeraTerm. Its really easy to use for the ssh automation stuff. You can get it here. But my favorite one is always MtPutty.
In case you are using Key based authentication, using saved Putty session seems to work great, for example to run a shell script on a remote server(In my case an ec2).Saved configuration will take care of authentication.
C:\Users> plink saved_putty_session_name path_to_shell_file/filename.sh
Please remember if you save your session with name like(user#hostname), this command would not work as it will be treated as part of the remote command.
Looking for the WinSCP command line equivalent of selecting the most recent/latest file?
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_download_most_recent_file
I'm looking for a way to update my WinSCP command-line below to download the latest file:
winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://martin#example.com/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx...""" "exit"
Use the -latest switch of the get command, as the Downloading the most recent file article shows:
get -latest /home/user/* c:\downloaded\
If you want to use it on command-line, the syntax is like:
winscp.com /command "open sftp://user:password#example.com/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx...""" "get -latest /home/user/* c:\downloaded\" "exit"
Use WinSCP GUI to generate command-line template for you.
I'm trying to dump DHCP settings from an older server thats being decommissioned. I ran the command fine while on the actual server but when trying to run it using psexec remotely, it keeps failing. The command is: psexec \\$source netsh dhcp server \\$source dump>$dhcpSettings
$source = the server being decommissioned
$dhcpSettings = the path to save the dumped settings
I've tried all sorts of combinations of encapsulating quotation marks but still nothing. the errors I'm getting is, "The system cannot find the file specified" and "The system cannot find the path specified"
EDIT: So I got rid of the path to save the dumped settings and now it works. But how should I format the command so that it'll save the settings to the remote computer's C:\USER.SET\LOG directory?
One solution might be to bundle the command you want to run and the stdout redirection into a single line cmd file and use PsExec -c or -f to copy and execute that file on the remote system. As an example
Create a line cmd file named DHCPSettings.cmd with the following in it and save it to C:\temp\:
netsh dhcp server \\localhost dump >c:\user.set\log\dhcpsetting.log
Then use
psexec \\$source -c c:\temp\DHCPSettings.cmd
You did not really provide any code to go by and I am not sure I understand the all requirements and constraints you have, so consider this as an idea; not the exact commands you need to run. Hope it helps.
I have a program which requires Administrative privileges that I want to run from a batch file. What command can I run from command line will run my program with administrative privileges? I'm okay with the pop-up window asking for permission. Additionally, the file needs to be able to run from anywhere on a computer so additional files are run from ./src. The problem is that if I right-click and choose "run as administrator" it changes my current directory so ./src no longer works. If I disable UAC on my machine then everything runs fine. Thank you!
Look here: https://superuser.com/a/269750/139371
elevate seems to be working, calling
C:\Utils\bin.x86-64\elevate.exe -k dir
executes dir in the "current directory" where elevate was called.
This is tough, Microsoft provides no utility to do this (mostly because giving a batch file that ability breaks security), except for RunAs, and that requires that the Administrator account be activated.
There IS a JScript program that can do something similar, by using SendKeys to open the Start menu and type cmd[CTL]+[SHIFT]+[ENTER] which will launch a Command-Line shell.
Save the following as as .js file, like StartAdmin.js:
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys("^{esc}cmd^+{ENTER}"); The equivilent of [CTRL]+[ESC] cmd [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[ENTER]
To run StartAdmin.js from a batch file, you will need the following line:
wscript StartAdmin.js
To launch from a particular directory and launch a batch file, change line 2 in StartAdmin.js to something like:
WshShell.SendKeys("^{esc}cmd /C "cd %userprofile% & batchfile.bat"^+{ENTER}");
/C switch tells it to run the commands, then close the command-line window.
/K would leave the command window open after it exited the batch file.
To help you understand the SendKeys commands:
+=[Shift Key]
^=[Control Key]
{esc}=[Escape Key]
{enter}=[Enter Key]
To learn more about using CMD.EXE, type CMD /? at the command prompt.
This is a very untidy and ugly way to do it, but it's the only way I know how using only the tools that come with Windows.
