Question 1) How do i shutdown my computer? is there any interrupt for this?
Question 2) I heard that acpi power options can be used to shutdown or restart or put the computer to sleep. mode. Well how to do it? are they in form of some routines that can be called? if so how to call them? or are they include in any of the interrupts?
Question 3) suppose when the os is running i press power button which is on the cabinet. then is any irq fired so that my os can prepare and shutdown the computer?
Edit:
Here i am talking about my Own OS not windows.
Here's a very informative blog post by Matthew Garrett describing how Windows and Linux implement rebooting; I assume shutdown is somewhat similar. In principle, there are many ways which should work. In practice, the problem is that BIOS'es and ACPI implementations are usually crappy and tested only with Windows, so the best way is probably to do as Windows does. Which, per the article I linked, is what Linux also does nowadays.
Answer 1. There are many ways to shutdown your computer.
Use shutdown option shown in Windows dialogue
Use shutdown command in command prompt
Use Task Manager to shutdown your computer
Press power button on cabinet to shutdown your computer.

Can anyone suggest a Windows podcast client that includes a scheduler that restricts the hours during which podcasts will be downloaded?
I haven't found a client with a scheduler, but gpodder has a command line version (gpo) that can be run with the Windows Task Scheduler (or cron on *nix systems). For the energy conscious, Wake On Standby can be used to wake a Windows computer from sleep or even hibernate (assuming your bios supports it - pretty common in anything less than about 10 years old).
As far as I can tell, gpo will accept only a single command on the command line, so you'll need to write a script/batch file with the update and download commands. Redirecting input from a file doesn't seem to work.
Can I connect to matlab GUI remotely via ssh and "screen" simultaneously?
Using commands ssh, "screen" and "maltlab -nodesktop" seem to work without graphic interface ,but I need GUI to use specific toolbox.
And I need to disconnect and reconnect it later, because the process takes long time.
My environment is :
Server (matlab) - linux ubuntu
Client - mac osx
Can anyone help me with this?
I don't think so - your best bet is probably a remote desktop solution.
https://www.nomachine.com/ is the first coming to my mind...
I have an SNMP client, sending my PC SNMP traps with destination port 162.
I run a sniffer (Wireshark) from my PC, and see that the traps are indeed received.
The SNMP.exe and SNMPTRAP.exe system processes are up and running (I've even restarted them),and SNMPTRAP.exe is listening to port 162. I have no activated firewall (whether Windows or 3rd party).
The problem: On my PC I have three different applications, all registered to SNMPTRAP.exe. These are all off-the-shelf sw, not something I wrote. MG-SOFT Trap Ringer is, f.e., one of
them. NONE OF THEM CATCHES ANY OF THE TRAPS, and I have no idea where exactly the failure is.
Do you have any idea what may be causing this? Or how, perhaps, I can debug the SNMPTRAP.exe process?
Thanks!
You may disable Microsoft Trap Service in Services panel. Then MG-SOFT TRAP Ringer will work.
The reason is simply that when Microsoft's SnmpTrap.exe monitors port 162, it prevents other applications, such as MG-SOFT's one from monitoring that port.
How you can eliminate and corner the problem is, try below stuff.
How are sure its not catching traps ( since u see them in wireshark). I mean, should they be displayed on some GUI Screen, if yes are the fields empty? or logged into some file, if yes are you sure you are checking the correct file, have you configured either through conf files or command line options which file the traps need to be logged in?
If step 1 does not work, try installing or configuring the whole setup on different pc /laptop and see if it works?
If step 2 does not work, try a different trap daemon program ( SNMPTRAP.EXE), plenty of open source programs exist, if you could capture with different daemon program, then some issue with SNMPTRAP.EXE you are using.
I'm sure one of these steps should work for you, if not get back :)
Howdy, I am trying to run matlab remotely on windows via OpenSSH installed with Cygwin, but launching matlab in windows without the GUI seems to be impossible.
If i am logged in locally, I can launch matlab -nodesktop -nodisplay -r script, and matlab will launch up a stripped down GUI and do the command.
However, this is impossible to do remotely via ssh, as, matlab needs to display the GUI.
Does anyone have any suggestions or work arounds?
Thanks,
Bob
Short story: is your script calling exit()? Are you using "-wait"?
Long story: I think you're fundamentally out of luck if you want to interact with it, but this should work if you just want to batch jobs up. Matlab on Windows is a GUI application, not a console application, and won't interact with character-only remote connectivity. But you can still launch the process. Matlab will actually display the GUI - it will just be in a desktop session on the remote computer that you have no access to. But if you can get it to do your job without further input, this can be made to work, for some value of "work".
Your "-r script" switch is the right direction. But realize that on Windows, Matlab's "-r" behavior is to finish the script and then go back to the GUI, waiting for further input. You need to explicitly include an "exit()" call to get your job to finish, and add try/catches to make sure that exit() gets reached. Also, you should use a "-logfile" switch to capture a copy of all the command window output to a log file so you can see what it's doing (since you can't see the GUI) and have a record of prior runs.
Also, matlab.exe is asynchronous by default. Your ssh call will launch Matlab and return right away unless you add the "-wait" switch. Check the processes on the machine you're sshing to; Matlab may actually be running. Add -wait if you want it to block until finished.
One way to do this stuff just use -r to call to a standard job wrapper script that initializes your libraries and paths, runs a job, and does cleanup and exit. You'll also want to make a .bat wrapper that sets up the -logfile switch to point to a file with the job name, timestamp, and other info in it. Something like this at the M-code level.
function run_batch_job(jobname)
try
init_my_matlab_library(); % By calling classpath(), javaclasspath(), etc
feval(jobname); % assumes jobname is an M-file on the path
catch err
warning('Error occurred while running job %s: %s', jobname, err.message)
end
try
exit();
catch err
% Yes, exit() can throw errors
java.lang.System.exit(1); % Scuttle the process hard to make sure job finishes
end
% If your code makes it to here, your job will hang
I've set up batch job systems using this style in Windows Scheduler, Tidal, and TWS before. I think it should work the same way under ssh or other remote access.
A Matlab batch system on Windows like this is brittle and hard to manage. Matlab on Windows is fundamentally not built to be a headless batch execution system; assumptions about an interactive GUI are pervasive in it and hard to work around. Low-level errors or license errors will pop up modal dialog boxes and hang your job. The Matlab startup sequence seems to have race conditions. You can't set the exit status of MATLAB.exe. There's no way of getting at the Matlab GUI to debug errors the job throws. The log file may be buffered and you lose output near hangs and crashes. And so on.
Seriously consider porting to Linux. Matlab is much more suitable as a batch system there.
If you have the money or spare licenses, you could also use the Matlab Distributed Computing toolbox and server to run code on remote worker nodes. This can work for parallelization or for remote batch jobs.
There are two undocumented hacks that reportedly fix a similar problem - they are not guarantied to solve your particular problem but they are worth a try. Both of them depend on modifying the java.opts file:
-Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false
Setting this option fixes a problem of extreme GUI slowness when launching Matlab on a remote Linux/Solaris computer.
-Djava.compiler=NONE
This option disables the Java just-in-time compiler (JITC). Note that it has no effect on the Matlab interpreter JITC. It has a similar effect to running Matlab with the '–nojvm' command-line option. Note that this prevents many of Matlab's GUI capabilities. Unfortunately, in some cases there is no alternative. For example, when running on a remote console or when running pre-2007 Matlab releases on Intel-based Macs. In such cases, using the undocumented '-noawt' command-line option, which enables the JVM yet prevents JAVA GUI, is a suggested compromise.
Using putty use ssh -X remote "matlab" it should work
I'd like to start service before user mode is loaded (in kernel mode).
The reason is I wanna run several system applications(asm code to write data to BIOS) that are not allowed in user mode (privileges problem).
That's why I got an idea: 1. Write windows service 2. Start and run it in kernel mode
Is it possible?
Are there any other ways to solve the problem?
I don't usually use Vista (use linux instead), that's why I'm asking.
Windows services are user-mode applications. To run in kernel-mode you should write a driver. (So-called "legacy" driver will be enough, see Driver Development Part 1: Introduction to Drivers).
