Is there a way to programmatically set the ApartmentState to STA?
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a script that needs to run in single-threaded mode, and I currently start it up with the -sta parameter with a batch. Is it possible to run the script in -sta mode only executing the Script? I thought about moving the whole script into one function and execute this function in single-threaded mode.
Is that possible? I don't want to give out a batch file and my ps1.
I think if you were to get PowerGUI and put the script into this, you would be able to package the PS1 file into an exe file which can just be executed like a normal program.
Once PowerGUI is installed you can do this from Tools, Complile Script.

Adding a directory to the PATH environment variable in Windows

I want to run this command line: "C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe" "C:\games\mygame"
But it's too long, can i turn this into: love "C:\games\mygame"?
You have to add C:\Program Files\LOVE\ to the PATH environment variable. This way, the command can be found from the commandline without explicitly specifying the path.

How to stop a PowerShell script on the first error?
(11 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I've been using Unix for about 20 years, but only started using Powershell recently. I have a ps1 script that does a number of tasks.
I know I could check each of them, and throw if they error, but it would be good for the entire script just to exit on any errors - like set -e does in bash.
How can I make a Powershell script exit immediately upon any error?
Using pwsh 6.2.1.
Having just found the answer to my own question:
ErrorActionPreference does this.
$ErrorActionPreference='Stop'
at the top of the ps1 file.
Closed. This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers.

How command prompt communicate with hardware
if i give mkdir command it will create the directory
how this command works internally
can i create own commands.
You need to notice the difference between the OS and the shell. Shell is only a user-land program. When you type a command, the command is the name of another program(or some built-in command in shell itself), shell find the corresponding program and execute it.
The operations at this level is much higher than hardware, it's just user-land program call.
For mkdir, you type which mkdir then will find the path of this program named mkdir. If you want to create your own, just compile your own program and run it from shell.
First of all MKDIR doesn't change the Directory it Makes the new directory.
& These program internally runs like a Bash Script/Batch File, which are few predefined codes in the OS.
You can create your own command by creating Batch File, For which you need Notepad, Little Programing Skill & Output Parameters you Want To Achieve.
This Link Might help Creating CMD File
I am currently working on a powershell script. The objective of this script is to import data from a .csv file from which new users are created if that username does not already exist in the Active Directory.
My question is how can I make this script run from any location so all I have to do is type the name of the script and it will run. I have been able to do this in BASH but can't figure out how to do this in power shell. So far google has been little help.
If it makes any difference i'm using Windows Server 2008 R2
The basic idea is to create Powershell Function which will do the work (or will call other script placed in other location) and put this method to Profile.ps1 script (the script which is loaded everytime you start powershell) - Look at Windows PowerShell Profiles for further details.
The link above for Powershell Function from Tomas Panik is not there anymore so I want to add to the answer here.
Short version:
You can create your function by using Powershell Function. However, this will only last for that session only.
In order for you to use your function regularly, you need to generate/add your function to your own PowerShell profile. Quick tutorials are here and here. Tomas Panik's link to Windows PowerShell Profiles also has very good info.
Update: thanks Hussein Al-Mosawi for reporting the old broken link!

How can I fire and forget a process in Perl?
I'm looking for a way to invoke a new process from a Perl script, that will let a launched program and a Perl script, from which it's launched, proceed to work concurrently.
The program is SIPp, if it's important.
Thank you.
If you actually want separate processes, then another option is fork and exec.
if (fork) {
# In the parent program
# Continue as usual
...
} else {
# In the new child program
# Replace with another program
exec $some_other_program;
}
SIPp has "-bg" commandline parameter.
This parameter launches SIPp in background mode.
Use Proc::Background
In Windows system you may use "start" command.
For example:
start notepad
OR
start /d"C\Program Files\Sipp3.1" sipp.exe -sn uac
