There is an application to search WHOIS database directly:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897435
When I opened it at first time, I accepted the agreement, but closed it immediately after that. Now, each time I try to open this app, it opens and closes immediately. Same happens on another laptop.
What is the problem?
It is a command line tool. You should use the command prompt (dos prompt) to use it. Open the command prompt by pressing the Windows Key + R, type CMD and press enter.
Then navigate to the folder where you extractd the zip file and type:
whois -v stackoverflow.com
And you get the whois information

It is a command line tool force-cli
When use force login, it opens browser and ask for Oauth login. After authorization, the browser closes and go back to command line tool.
I am new to command line tool (Terminal.app or cmd.exe)
My question is how command line tool communicates with browser. i.e. How force login command opens browser and how browser closes and go back to command line.
For opening browser from command line (cmd.exe in Windows or terminal in Linux-systems) you just need to know URL of page that you want to open and use some of appropriate command. For Windows command line it's start URL, for Linux - firefox URL, x-www-browser URL or some distributions have xdg-open URL, for MacOSX it is rumored to be open URL. For more information you can read this article.
I am having a strange issue. I have written a script which is basically running a perl script in remote server using ssh.
This script is working fine but after completion of the above operation it will ask user to choose the next operation.
it is showing the options in the command prompt but while I am giving any input it is not showing in the screen even after hitting enter also it remain same.
I am not getting what is the exact issue, but it seems there is some issue with the ssh command because if I am commenting out the ssh command it is working fine.
OPERATION:
print "1: run the script in remote server \n2: Exit\n\nEnter your choice:";
my $input=<STDIN>;
chomp($input);
..........
sub run_script()
{
my $com="sshg3.exe server -q --user=user --password=pass -exec script >/dev/null";
system("$com");
goto OPERATION;
}
after completing this ssh script it is showing in screen:
1: run remote script
2: exit
Enter your choice:
but while I am giving any input it is not displaying in the screen until and unless I am exiting it using crtl C.
Please can anyone help what might be the issue here ?
One of the classic gotchas with ssh is this - that it normally runs interactively, and as such will attach STDIN by default.
This can result in STDIN being consumed by ssh rather than your script.
Try it with ssh -n instead.
You can redirect the output in command prompt if -n option is not available for you.
try this one it might work for you.
system("$com />null");
As per https://support.ssh.com/manuals/client-user/62/sshg3.html there is an option for redirecting input use --dev-null (*nix) or --null (Windows).
-n, --dev-null (Unix), -n, --null (Windows)
Redirects input from /dev/null (Unix) and from NUL (Windows).
Is there any way to save the PuTTY output to a file using the command line? I know this is easily done using the GUI but in my case it has to be done automatically.
What I'm working on:
User clicks batch file -> starts PuTTY, automatically connects to my device over SSH and runs a bunch of commands -> PuTTY should save the output to a file.
The last part I can't get working. Is there any command to do this?
This can be done with putty. The answer is little late considering the time the questions was asked, however this might help someone.
In putty, using GUI, you can save sessions with logging option on, as shown below.
Enter Host Name, Name the session, Go to Logging Option in the left top corner, select all sessions, provide log file name and location, go back to Session tab, click on the save button. Done, you have saved a session.
Now open CMD and write the command as below
You are done. Every time this session is invoked, the commands and output will be logged.
Hope this helps.
The specific program putty is not designed for this. Instead use plink, a different program in the PuTTY suite,
which uses the same session settings and keys as putty but gets input from stdin and puts output to stdout,
both of which can be redirected in the usual ways. See http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.63/htmldoc/Chapter7.html#plink .
As mentioned in previous answer, use plink for this.
Make sure it is in your environment path, by typing
plink -V
in your console. If it returns a version number, then you know it is in environment path variables. If it doesn't, probably best to fix this first. There are plenty of good SO answers to help you with this. Failing that, use the full path to your plink.exe in the CLI command that follows.
Then use plink to open your ssh connection, with the option -v set to provide verbose output. Finally, this all needs to be piped to a log file.
The complete cli command that I use is
plink -v username#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > ssh-output.log 2>&1
Open up the file ssh-ouput.log to see the results.
Expanding on Dave's and Charlie's answers...
Apart from making sure plink is in the path, also check whether you have write access to local ouput file.
This is how you redirect command output from remote machine to local file with plink. In this example we store an output from man page for nfcapd:
plink joe#192.168.50.50 -pw joespassword man nfcapd > output.log 2>&1
The first time you try to access the server, it will ask you store key in cache. So make sure to access the machine at least once before:
plink joe#192.168.50.50 -pw joespassword
The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You
have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
think it is.
...
Store key in cache? (y/n)
I need a way to open a file in a Metro app from command line.
So far I've figured out how to start the app from command line without any third-party scripts
explorer shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Reader_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Reader
but I haven't been able to figure out how to include a file name yet.
Launching
explorer shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Reader_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Reader example.pdf
just opens up a default explorer window.
Any idea from Windows 8 experts on how to accomplish this without any third-party tools/cmdlets/etc.?
Note: In fact I'm using Windows 10 but I guess if there's a Windows 8 / 8.1 way to do it, it'll work for 10, too.
If you're still looking for the answer, the best way to open a file in a metro app is to use an execution string like a normal app protocol does. The execution string looks like this:
bingnews:[arguments, can be left blank.]
microsoftvideo:[arguments, can be left blank.]
netflix:[arguments, can be left blank.]
So, to start up netflix, it's as simple as typing in Start netflix: into the command line.
To find the execution string for an app, go here: Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations
More info and examples can be found here.

http://www.itsjustwhatever.com/2012/10/28/launch-windows-8-metro-apps-from-a-desktop-shortcut-or-command-line/
PLEASE NOTE: To open an app WITHOUT A PROTOCOL (One not listed in the registry or under "Set Associations") use OP's method:
explorer shell:AppsFolder\[appuid]![appfullname]
The app UID is the folder name without the version number. For example,
4DF9E0F8.Netflix_2.11.0.8_x64__mcm4njqhnhss8
becomes
4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8
The app fullname is the [App author].[App name] For example, 4DF9E0F8.Netflix. 4DF9E0F8 is the author, and Netflix is the name.
Put it all together to get
explorer shell:AppsFolder\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8!4DF9E0F8.Netflix
Store Apps can only be started by the shell. So try this:
explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
Or from run (Win+R):
shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
If the app is the default handler then you can just launch the file or protocol. There isn't a good in-box way to launch a file into a non-default handler from the command line.
Windows Store apps aren't designed to run from the command line and there isn't a straightforward way to launch them from the command line. Apps which handle specific files or protocols receive them through FileActivatedEventArgs or ProtocolActivatedEventArgs rather than command line arguments
You could write a launcher app which uses CLSID_ApplicationActivationManager's IApplicationActivationManager to ActivateForFile a specific app.
The best way I've found to pass command-line arguments to the executable targeted by the shell command is via the Windows start command.
Using your example, you would end up with this:
start "" shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Reader_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Reader example.pdf
I don't have Microsoft.Reader installed, so I can't test that. However, I can verify that this pattern works with Windows Terminal. In this case, I pass it a command-line argument to tell it which profile I want to open.
start "" shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App new-tab -p "GitBash"
The first argument to the start command here — the empty string — is just the title of the window.
You can also pair this with cmd /c, which I've found is necessary for some launcher applications, such as my personal favorite, SlickRun:
cmd /c start "" shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App new-tab -p "GitBash"
I have a blog post with more info on running Modern apps from the command line, which you might find helpful in constructing these ridiculously obtuse commands.
Not sure if it works on Windows 8, but on Windows 10 I use this:
cmd /C start <app-name>:
For example, to start Slack:
cmd /C start slack:
Am attempting to run installer using command line using -c option.
Command line execution appears like this:
E:\dev>MyApp_32.exe -c
E:\dev>This will install App on your computer.
OK [o, Enter], Cancel [c]
E:\dev> (showing the Windows command line is confusing to user)
Welcome .. (text of 2nd screen)
Typing "c" or "Cancel" doesn't work. It always takes enter key as input and proceeds to next screen.
Pressing enter transfers control back to windows's command shell, then back to installer. This looks confusing to user. It doesn't give a unified experience to user.
Is it possible to provide input via a silent file ? i.e. a text file with pre-selected inputs?
Am using 32 bit installer on Win 7 Professional x64 with Java 1.6 installed.
The problem is that the installer is a GUI application, it cannot take control of a WIndows terminal in this way. If you start it via
start /wait MyApp_32.exe -c
the command line prompts will not be displayed.
You can run set a response file with the -varfile argument, see the help for more information.
