Is there a way to check in ant if an internet connection is available.
You could use http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html to get this information using an external command.
Check internet connection in bash (you could write a small app for this) or try to ping some site and write the result somewhere.

I run several game servers on a single windows-server-2012-r2. Many of the game servers run as console-application. I have created scheduled-tasks to run each on windows startup even if I'm not logged on. I would like to be able to attach to the consoles of those apps when logged on to the server, similar to what can be done in linux. Perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way. Is there a way to attach to console apps running as tasks? Is there a software tool that accommodates this sort of thing?
Update:
Been searching high and low for a solution but haven't found anything yet. Have decided to write a wrapper for console app that will redirect Stdin, Stdout and Stderr of a process to a Telnet connection. Will use nssm to run the wrapper as a service.
I produced a solution: https://github.com/ccourson/Banjo
Banjo will launch a specified console application and route its streams to and from a telnet connection.
Pull requests welcome.
I can't figure this one out. I can't connect to a server using MySQL Workbench, I tried any kind of connection methods. The error message I get is
Failed to Connect to MySQL at AT 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root
Invalid for this platform protocol requested(MYSQL_PROTOCOL_SOCKET)
I ran into the same problem, in my case I originally created the connection with the "Local Socket/Pipe" option selected in the "Connection Method" drop down. Trying to switch back to "Standard (TCP/IP)" did not work and caused the error mentioned by OP. I had to delete the connection and start over by selection "Standard (TCP/IP)" from the start. The connection was successful after that.
To solve this problem you must check the "Others" field in Advanced tab
If you had the connection stored with a socket option you will find a "socket=." (or anything similar)
Delete it

This is a very unusal error message which I haven't seen before, especially on Windows. It has probably to do with how the server is installed. As a newbie it would definitely be the best choice to use the Windows Installer for all required parts. This will install the server properly too.
By using xampp you are on your own to check whether a server is installed and running as a service, as well as the proper configuration. For troubleshooting watch my video on Youtube where I tried to explain most common pitfalls for beginners.
Note: you can open the connection without actually being connected. In that case MySQL Workbench allows to do all those things that don't require a valid server connection, e.g. log file viewing, config file editing, service start/stop etc. Use this to check your server's configuration. Make sure it accepts TCP/IP connections (there's also a short section in the video about this).
Update:
Downvoter, please add a comment why you think my answer is bad.
Re-reading the error message I got another idea: could it be that you used local socket/named pipe for the connection? If so try with normal TCP/IP.
We have Progress appservers (OE 10.0B05) running on AIX UNIX and I want write some code to check if they are up and running. The code to check the appserver would be run from a WIN2008 server. I can pull up Progress Explorer on the WIN2008 server to check the status of the appservers, but I need to write some code that can check their status programatically.
Is there any way to programatically check whether my AIX UNIX Progress appserver is up and running from a remote WIN2008 server?
To get app server status information you can use "asbman".
To get it remotely you would need some means to invoke a remote process and return a value. I'm a unix guy so I usually use "ssh" for that sort of thing.
There are Windows versions of SSH (look at the PuTTY suite for a really good free option). If you set it up to use pre-shared keys or an "agent" there are no messy login prompts to get in the way. Something like (untested):
plink -i sshkey.ppk user#server.name "asbman -name appServer -query"
"asbman" also supports -host and -port parameters if you happen to have it running on the windows box that you want to make the inquiry from.
If you have a small program that can open a socket connection, that would do it. If the program can open a socket, you can be reasonably confident the appserver is running.
You -might- be able to use the ABL SOCKET functionality to do this. Failing that, any other program which can open a socket on a remote machine and then close it will work.b
I'm following some WinDbg instructions from the CodeProject tutorial.
To start a server, I can get this to work from the command line fine:
WinDbg –server npipe:pipe=pipename
(note: multiple clients can connect).
Where do I enter this from the windbg UI? I tried the command browser window, but that didn't seem to do anything:
.server npipe:pipe=pipename
(note: single client can connect)
This question is related to creating the server from WinDbg UI, not connecting from the client.
I am assuming that you are referring to usermode debugging here, so I will respond with that in mind.
From windbg attached to your program that you want to remote:
If you want to use symbols that are cached on the target, then run:
from the Command Window's prompt type .server npipe:pipe=YourPipeName
If you have another machine with with a larger symbol cache, then on the target run:
dbgsrv -t tcp:port=4000
This sets up a thin debug client (a.k.a. remote stub)
Then on the machine running the debugger, open Windbg > File > Connect to remote stub
tcp:server= machine_running_dbgsrv ,port=4000
Now hit F6 and attach to the process you want to debug.
Note: the versions of windbg have to be the same on the machine running dbgsrv and the one running windbg. If they don't match, when you get to part where you hit F6, you end up with no processes in the process list.

File -> Connect to remote session. Or just use CTRL-R.
I am trying to connect to an external SOAP service using PHP and have written a small php test script that just connects to the service and performs a simple request to check everything is working.
This all works correctly but when I run via a browser request, it is very slow taking somewhere in the region of 40s to establish the initial connection. When I do the same request using the exact same script on the command line, it goes through straight away.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?
Cheers
PHP caches the wsdl in /tmp. If you run from the command line first, the cache file will be owned by whatever user you're running the script as, and apache won't be able to read the cache. The wsdl will have to be downloaded and parsed every time which will be slow.
Check the permissions of /tmp/wsdl*.
Maybe external SOAP service trying to check your IP, and your server has ICMP allowed, when your local network - not.
Anyway, this question might be answered more clearly by administrator of external SOAP service :)
Is there a difference between the php.inis that are being used?
On a standard ubuntu server installation:
diff /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
//edit:
Another difference might be in the include paths. Had this trouble myself on a local test server, it didn't actually use the soap class that was included (it didn't include anything, because the search paths weren't valid), but it included the built-in soap_client class.
