I have the following requirement:
I need to start Fiddler from the command line. It will start capturing my traffic immediately. After some time, I want to stop capturing the traffic, but not close Fiddler.
What is the best way to achieve this ? I've explored Fiddler's command-line options, but they will only start Fiddler and not stop it. Also, killing the Fiddler process will not save my session safely. Please help.
There are several ways to do this. The simplest is to run
%programfiles(x86)%\fiddler2\execaction.exe stop
This calls the execaction program in the Fiddler install folder, passing it the command stop. The stop message is sent to Fiddler, whose script handler (click Rules > Customize Rules, scroll to OnExecAction) will interpret it as a command to detach as the system proxy.
To reattach the proxy, use start as the command. You can see what other commands are available (and add your own) by looking at the OnExecAction function.

I'm using VS Code to write and debug a C++ program binding to libfuse.
Unfortunately, if you kill a libfuse process with SIGKILL, you then have to use sudo umount -f <mountpoint> before you can start the program again. It's a minor nuisance if I have to do this every time I want to stop or restart debugging, especially as I shouldn't have to authenticate to do such a regular task (the sudo is somehow necessary despite the mount occurring as my user).
While I think this is mainly FUSE's fault (it should gracefully recover from a process being ungracefully killed and unmount automatically instead of leaving the directory saying Transport endpoint is not connected), I also think there should be a way to customise VS Code (or any IDE) to run some clean-up when you want to stop debugging.
I've found that entering -exec signal SIGTERM in the Debug Console will gracefully unmount the directory correctly, stop the process and tell VS Code it's no longer debugging (status bar changes back from orange to blue). But I can't seem to find a way to automate this. I've tried using a .gdbinit file, with some inspiration from this question:
handle SIGTERM nostop
# This doesn't work as hook-quit isn't run when quitting via MI mode, which VS Code uses...
define hook-quit
signal SIGTERM
end
But as noted in the linked question, GDB ignores quit hooks when in MI mode, and VS Code uses MI mode.
The ideal solution for me would be if I could put something in a .vscode configuration file telling it to send -exec signal SIGTERM when I click the stop or restart buttons (and then wait for whatever notification it's getting that debugging has stopped, before restarting if applicable) but I imagine there probably isn't an option for that.
Even if the buttons can't be customised, I'd be happy with the ability to have a keybinding that would just send -exec signal SIGTERM to the Debug Console without me having to open said console and enter the command, though the Command Palette doesn't show anything useful here (nothing that looks like it will send a specified Debug Console command), so I don't expect there's a bindable command for that either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or would these belong as feature requests over on the VS Code github? Any way to get GDB to respect its quit hook in MI mode, or to get FUSE to gracefully handle its process being killed would be appreciated too.
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 create a small script file to test.
This my script.bat file.
sc create myService binpath= C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\test.bat start= auto
This is my test.bat file.
echo "Welcome to Wizard"
Problem Statement
I am unable to start the service from control panel Service section.
I get following error.
[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
That is why I am using nssm.
NOW what happening is that when I run following command on powershell
.\nssm install myService, I dialogue box appears. I give it the path of my script file and click on install service.
After successfull installation of service. I go to control panel -> Service -> click on start against myService but it get paused and following dialog box appears
How can I fix this?
Is there anyother way to do it without doing manual steps and not using third party tool.
I am doing all this on window 10. Do I need any server to perform this task?
NOTE: I cannot use Always up or window scheduler in my case.
The NSSM behaviour is caused by the script terminating almost instantly. Try the following script:
echo Hello World
pause
This should allow the service to start, but you will not necessarily see a console window. Even if you tick 'allow service to interact with desktop', it will not be your desktop that it interacts with!
Windows implements 'session zero isolation' as a security feature, and this essentially prevents services interacting with end user desktops.
In terms of a solution, it's possible to write Windows 'service' applications fairly simply using Visual Studio. It's outside my area of expertise, but based on the Windows applications I'm familiar with, you would generally have a user-mode application running to provide desktop interaction. The user-mode application can interact with services hosted by the service application.
Probably this is resolved by now, but in case it helps anyone, what saved the day for me was checking again my input in the arguments field in nssm. I had an extra "-" which created the error. To edit my service, I went via nssm edit <servicename>
I would also add on the fix that worked for me. I added "" (quotes) in the argument path and that solved the issue for me.
I've got a batch file dmx2vlc which will play a random video file through VLC-Player when called.
It works well locally but I need this to happen on another machine on the network (will be adhoc) and the result (VLC-Player playing the video) must be visible on the remote screen.
I've tried SSH, Powershell and PsExec, but both seem to run the batch file and the player in the session of the command line, even when applying a patch to allow multiple logins.
So IF I get to run the batch file it is never visible on screen.
Using Teamviewer and the like is no option as I need to be able to call all this programmatically from my dmx program.
I'm not bound to being able to call the batch directly, it would be sufficient for me if I could somehow trigger it to run.
Sadly latency is a problem here as we are talking about a lighting (thus dmx) environment.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
You can use PSexec if the remote system is XP with the interactive parameter if you state the session to interact with, 0 would probably be the console (person physically in front of the machine).
This has issues with Windows Vista and newer as it pops up a prompt to ask the user to change their display mode first.
From memory, you could create a scheduled task on the remote system pretty easily though and as long as it's interactive the user should see it.
Good luck.
Try using web interface. It is rather easy: VLC is running http server, and accessing particular URL from remote machine will give full control over VLC. Documentation can be found here
When I used "reload" command, it didn't truly reloading all module like Asterisk start from beginning. So, when I just used "reload" command, I couldn't register SIP with my client application.
Is there any command that more truly restart the Asterisk?
restart now should work for you. If you have any concerns with a specific module, you can always try to do the following:
module load name_of_module.so
module unload name_of_module.so
