How can i see a log of internet connectiones using command prompt? - command-line

OK, i know there is a way you can get command prompt to display a log of what programs connect to the internet and stuff, but i don't know what the command is. I'm using windows vista.

netstat -a
use netstat /? in the command prompt for help on this command and to see other options of this command

Input to psexec command

I am trying to run a batch file which is placed in a remote windows server from my local system.
For that I am using psexec command as shown: psexec \\ip address -u user\username -p password cmd /c "path to batch file". This is executing same way as it executes on remote windows server. but at some point we have to press Q on the command prompt to get to next line on the batch file.
this is how it looks:
on Remote system
But I am unable to press Q on my local psexec command prompt, this is how it looks:
on my local system
is there a way to take key inputs for psexec command?
Thanks in advance.
I tried providing -accepteula option and also pipe it with powershell and try running it.
But no luck on that.

Using the inline '--command' argument with psql doesn't produce logs in .psql_history

When I log into my PostgreSQL server manually on Ubuntu and execute a command, I can then find it logged in /root/.psql_history.
However when I try to run a command in a bash script via psql -c "*query goes here*", the command returns data but is not logged in .psql_history.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Command line retrieval and editing, as well as the history file, are functions of the “readline” library that is linked to psql.
Readline support is only active in interactive sessions, so there is also no history written if you invoke psql with the -c or -f options.

Sysinternal Close Handle working in Command Prompt But Not Powershell

I have a strange issue. I am trying to close down a handle using Powershell using this 1 liner:
(&"D:\handle.exe" -p "–c C –p 3348 -y")
I am getting the following response:
No matching handles found.
When I run the exact same command in Command Prompt
handle.exe -c C -p 3348 -y
I get:
Handle closed.
I am running Powershell and Command Prompt as Admin.
edit: Note: I can run the same command inside the Powershell Command Window and get the same expected result as I did from the normal Windows Command Prompt.
You don't need any fancy syntax. PowerShell can run command-line programs just like cmd.exe can. Just type the command you want and press Enter.
handle -c C -p 3348 -y
It is likely you need to run this from an elevated PowerShell window, but that's not different from cmd.exe.

Docker-machine ssh displays junk characters on windows 7

I have installed docker-machine on 64 bit Windows 7 machine. It also installed Oracle Virtual Box to which docker-machine connects to. The issue is that it is getting very difficult to work on docker-machine. Reason is ssh-ing to virtual machine displays a lot of junk characters. Below is what I get when I just vi newfile. Similar junk characters on cat existingfile. Or if I click on backspace to delete any character on command prompt.
I was having the same issue. I came across this page during my search which prompted me to try using bash.
Install git if you do not already have it. You can then run the following command from PowerShell to drop into a bash shell (assuming default location for git).
& "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe"
I have created the alias 'bash' for this in my PowerShell profile folder, which you can find from here.
New-Alias bash "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe"
Now drop into a bash shell first before using docker-machine ssh and there should be no more junk characters.

Psexec is not running an EXE program remotely

Check everywhere for a reason but nothing I found matches my specific problem. I have a program in C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\ of the remote pc that I try to run using PSEXEC but it does not take. PSEXEC just does not want to run anything for me. Now if I run a ping or tasklist via psexec, it works, though obviously this is in PATH.
So I am putting in:
PSEXEC \\pcname C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\program.exe
and nothing happens.
I even wrote a batch script that I tried running in two different ways.
Script is just:
#ECHO OFF
C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\program.exe
EXIT
and I had it copied to the remote pc's main directory (maybe I need to put it in a folder) and then I tried running C:\batch.bat using:
PSEXEC \\pcname C:\batch.bat
I also tries running:
PSEXEC \\pcname -c \\servername\batch.bat
so it copies it over to PATH.
Neither worked.
Does any program I try to run via PSEXEC have to be in the remote pc's path?
I do have to admit that I have not done running an EXE remotely, but I have written lengthier scripts using psexec that use batch file on a server without any hiccups.
What is weird to is that the program I run has parameters and I task that runs through it, so I first taskkill it remotely, then I PSEXEC the SAME EXACT EXE as:
psexec \\pcname C:\...\program.exe -a -few -parameters ODBC
and that works. When I try to open just program.exe on its own, nope doesn't take.
I also did try psexecing iexplore.exe and that didn't work either.
So gotta use the -i option. In addition to that, gotta use -p + -u or -s to load system hardware dependent gui. This is why large portions of the gui was missing, or I assume why.
Can you please try this format
psexec \\machineName -u username -p password /accepteula -h cmd /c
C://somefoldername//anothersubdirectory//andanother//program.exe >>log.txt

Download the PSEXEC tool zip file in your user machine and unzip it.
Open command prompt and go to the psexec path.
In my machine it is: D:\PsTools
Run following command line
Syntax:
D:\PsTools> psexec \\ip_address -u username -p Password cmd /c executablename arguments >> test.log
