I want to do the opposite of everybody ( laugh )
I start open-erp with a command line like :
C:\OpenERPAllInOne\Server>openerp-server.exe --log-file=outputfile
but the problem is that with Windows it only does output to a file.
Is there any way to redirect a file to the STDOUT.
For example (it doesn't work but this is the way I see it working) :
C:\OpenERPAllInOne\Server>openerp-server.exe --log-file=STDOUT
and then see directly the output to the command line.
I can't make it work ! Any idea ?
Thanks,
Olivier
I'm not sure if it still works, try CON (hope it was that) as filename
That would be a function of the openerp-server.exe program.
If it's default output is to a file, then there isn't anything you can do about that.
I'm assuming that OpenERP uses getopt_long and confirms to GNU standards. If it does, then the following should work:
openerp-server --log-file=-
(a dash is usually used to represent STDOUT in GNU, Linux and UNIX programs.)
If you can't get the server to output to the standard output you could monitor the log file with [tail][1].
If you run:
tail -f c:\path\to\logfile.txt
in another window then you can see the contents of the file as they are written.
tail doesn't come with Windows as standard but you can download a free port of tail for Windows here.
for windows there is a configuration file for OpenERP Server,
like openerp-server.conf in the directory where you have installed the Open ERP
like c:\Program Files\OpenERP Server\openerp-server.conf OR
C:\documents and settings\USER\OpenERP Server\oepenrp-server.conf
you need to edit that file and set the --log-file paramter to None or False, and probably you might also try out something like this
C:\OpenERPAllInOne\Server>openerp-server.exe --log-file=False
that should work, but not sure whether it will work or not.!!

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 wrote a shell script that I use under ash, and I redirect stderr and stdout to a log file. I would like that log file to be emailed to me only if stderr is not empty.
I tried:
exec >mylog.log 2>&1
# Perform various find commands
if [TEST_IF_STDERR_NOT_EMPTY]; then
/usr/bin/mail -s "mylog" email#mydomain.com < mylog.log
fi
My question is twofold:
1- I get a -sh: /usr/bin/mail: not found error. It seems that the mail command doesn't exist under ash (or at least under my linux box, which is a Synology NAS), what would be the alternative? Worst case, perl is available, but I would prefer to use standard sh commands.
2- How to I test that stderr is not empty?
Thanks
How to check if file is empty in bash
As for the first question, in your code you are calling mail but lower in the post you are calling email. Check your code and make sure it is mail.
Use which mail to get the full path. Maybe it is not installed in /usr/bin/.
Use find to locate mail.
If you can go to another shell, run it and then execute which mail to get the full path of mail in case the path is set up in the alternative shells.
I was sent a perl script over mail and asked to run it .I placed it on my local drive as is but when I tried to run the script it shows me
/usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I checked and usr/bin/ does have perl in there .I am not sure what is wrong.I checked a bit and looks like I am missing some spaces or something ..I tried adding those at the end of
usr/bin/perl and at the end of the file but that didnt help either.
I even tried to use dos2unix
dos2unix oldfile newfile
'dos2unix' not found.This is on MacOSX.
Might I also mention that I am sshing into my mac using my windows machine at home.
You're on the right track. Your script has DOS style newlines at the end, which is not supported by your kernel.
The solution is to use something to convert the DOS newlines to Unix style. dos2unix would presumably work if you had it, so use something else equivalent.
In the absence of dos2unix, you can use tr (on Mac OS X) to strip the DOS / Windows new-lines:
tr -d '\r' < old.pl > new.pl
This will solve the "bad interpreter" issue.
"Can't locate Gpu.pm in #INC" is a different issue. Either you don't have Gpu.pm installed on your Mac (or whichever computer on which you are running this, I'm confused by your comments) or it's not in your include path. I don't who what that script is or what it does. A quick look on http://search.cpan.org/ revealed nothing.
If you can get that Perl module (presumably from whoever supplied oldfile), you'll have to ensure it is in #INC.
Do this in vim:
:%s/^M//g
save the file and try running it again
execute: vim
when vim opens go to command mode by hitting the escape key .... at the command prompt (:) type: %s/^M//g. This will remove all "^M" characters from the file.
dos2unix in Perl:
perl -pi -e 'tr/\r//d' file.txt
I have a executable that when double clicked opens in a command line window.
Now there is a input file (i.e named "sphere_15000.inp") in the same directory where the executable apame_win64.exe is located. So we can inter the file name in the command line.
The question is how this can be done from mathematica front end? With the RunThrough command I tried to do it with no avail.
RunThrough["Executable Location", "sphere_15000"]
Do I need to put this file location in my Windows 7 environment path variable? Hope for some suggestion in this regard.
UPDATE
Found a solution to my problem.
First set the Mathematica directory to the folder where the executable is located.
path="C:\Users\FlowCrusher\Desktop\CUSP solver\Apame_build_2011_01_09\solver";
SetDirectory[path];
Then use the following style of input.
Run["\"\"apame_win64.exe\" \"input\"\""]
Here "apame_win64.exe" is the executable one want to run and "input" is the input file for the executable. This solves the problem. But a new item in the wishlist.
Is there a way to hide the console window in the background?
Here is how it looks on my screen.
As Chris suggested if we use minimized console in the Run command we get a minimized window but the program does not execute.
I hope that a solution exists.
BR
Yes, you might put the folder of you executable into the Path variable, or provide the full path name.
However, RunThrough seems to have been superseeded (on Windows) by
Import["!command ","Text"], which will execute command and read the comaand line output into Matheamtica as a string.
E.g.:
Export["testit.txt", "bla", "Text"];
Import["!dir" <> " testit* > dir.log", "Text"];
FilePrint["dir.log"]
--
Otherwise, I also had good results in the past using NETLink (not sure if WScript.shell
still works on Windows7/8 or if one should use something else).
Emulating Run (RunThrough is not really needed I think):
Run2[cmd_String] := Module[{shell},
Switch[$OperatingSystem,
"Windows",
Needs["NETLink`"];
shell = NETLink`CreateCOMObject["WScript.shell"];
shell # run[cmd,0,True],
"Unix",
Run # cmd,
"MacOSX",
Run # cmd ] ];
Can you run your application with input from a basic command window instead of the application console? This might be the form of command you would need:
apame_win64 -input sphere_15000.inp
or simply
apame_win64 sphere_15000.inp
You can probably check the available switches by running apame_win64 -help
A multi-part command can be run from Mathematica, e.g.
Run["type c:\\temp\\test.txt"]
Alternatively, also returning output to the Mathematica session:
ReadList["!type c:\\temp\\test.txt", String]
I landed here wanting to run abaqus command line on windows.
The solutions provided here worked out for me (Windows 7, Mathematica 9):
SetDirectory#path;
Run["start /min abaqus job=" <> fileName <> " interactive ask_delete=OFF >> log.txt"]
(Here the abaqus option ask_delete=OFF overwrites an existing simulation results and the >> redirects all the output to a file)
I think, minimizing the window did not run in your case since the executable throws open that window. In that case, this might be of some help
This has be stump. I wrote a shell program in C that allows the user to execute several commands. Based on my research so far, all the commands such as "ls" and "cat" are located in "/bin/".
The "wc" is not listed in this directory - "/bin". If I fire up a terminal, I can type "wc fileName" and it works. I ran "find . wc" from the "/" directory, and I still can't find the "wc" command.
Does anyone know where "wc" is hiding?
Try typing which wc into your shell...that should tell you where it is.
On my machine it is in /bin/.
However, if you just want the path resolution to be done on it's own, you can use the system() function (see man 3 system for more information). As you can read in the documentation, that's really the same as invoking the Bourne shell (or wherever the symlink for that points to) for the path resolution, so if you don't want that overhead, you will want to stick with whatever method you are currently using.
I tried whereis wc and I get it in /usr/bin/wc
If you don't want to worry about where individual utilities are, but you do want to avoid the overhead involved in calling system, then you should try the middle-level function execvp, or one of its friends (also listed on that page). Sadly, there is no execvpe.
You can try whence, which, or whereis to find any program in your exec path, depending on which shell you're using.
Utilities like wc are usually located in /binor /usr/bin, or in places like /usr/local/bin or /usr/site/bin.
