I created a bat script that takes the output of one program and searches it in the default browser by opening up a URL.
Ive noticed that by the end of the day, a Im getting a critical error with Windows Handlers.
enter image description here
After doing some research I believe its caused by voulume of requests sent to the Batch script, resulting in it hitting Windows Handler 10k limit
If anyone have any recommendations or suggestions let me know because I was not able to find a clear solution for this memory leak. Here is the batch script:
echo off
set str=%1
rem echo.%str%
set str=%str:-=%
rem echo.%str%
start chrome.exe "https://averdi.sugarondemand.com/#search/%str%"
Im trying to find a piece of code that might clear the used resources each time the bat script runs but im not having much luck in finding. or anything that will stop this memory leak. Appraicte all help

Sometimes I try to delete a file with del /f filenameand it says "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.". Out of curiosity, what exactly is preventing this from happening? Is it the way that the hardware is set up, or is it more on the software side? And if the only thing preventing this from happening is the software, is there a way to work around it (force windows to delete part of the memory that is being accessed, and if it causes an error in whatever process is using it, just let it crash and exit)? Tried to look online and couldn't find anything.
Thanks
If a software program is loading or reading the file you want to delete, then this error appears.
And the only thing you can do, is closing the program and then try to delete the file again..
I've run into an issue with a program I created using Livecode, and now I'm looking for some help from the experts. My Google-fu is strong, yet the answer eludes me...
So here's the deal. I made a very basic note-taking program for Windows only, using very noob skills. I've been using it daily for work for the past month at least. It functions exactly as it should, except for these few things that don't make sense:
When loading the program, it takes 25-30 seconds to load. Not convenient considering it's pretty basic; one button and 5-6 text input fields, with the same number of label fields. And one background. The button just clears the text input fields.
I started to notice a problem when I went to create a batch file to load all my work programs. When the program is loaded thru Command Prompt, if I close CMD it will close the program too. I tried the same using Powershell, and it still closes as soon as the Powershell window closes. Really really strange.
I managed to find another standalone program made with Livecode, downloaded it and tested the CMD command to see if the same thing happened. It didn't, that program loaded instantly and it is ENORMOUS. It also didn't close when I closed the CMD window. I even tried this: opened my program and the downloaded program using the same CMD session, and when I closed CMD, my program closed but the downloaded one did not.
Then, I downloaded the source code for the program that was working correctly. I created a standalone for it, and tried to open that. It acts the same way as my note program does.
I don't get it. It's got to be something in my Standalone Application Settings considering what happened in the last step I mentioned, and I've been over and over those settings for hours, but I just don't have the knowledge of LC to know what to look for. I've scoured the web looking for answers to this, but it seems to be just me having this issue (story of my life, lol).
I'll be happy to post any codes, scripts, or files needed, please let me know. I just don't know which things to post =P
Any suggestions are very much appreciated!! Thank you. =)
If you call the program from the prompt directly, e.g. using
C:\program files (x86)\your_standalone.exe
the app is treated as a command line app. I have also noticed that a LiveCode app can sometimes close if the invoking command line prompt is closed, while it may sometimes continue to run. Perhaps the handling of the relaunch message has to do with it, since this message basically handles commands from the command line.
If you want the command line process to finish independently from the invoked LiveCode application, you can use the start command:
start "" "C:\program files (x86)\your_standalone.exe"
don't have enough info to be able to tell what your issue is. But that much of a delay is not usual for LiveCode apps so something is definitely wrong. How long does your app take to load if you open the stackfile in the IDE?
Not sure what StackOverflow allows but if you could upload your scripts and if possible stackfile that will give us more to go on
This has nothing to do with Windows, Batchfiles, or CMD.
CMD can workaround your problem, if it's a GUI program. See Start command, and read the help as it explains the starting behaviour of CMD and CMD's Start.
Explorer has different rules. Anything else that starts programs call CreateProcessExW which has it's own rules.
I have one Vbscript which runs continuously on my system to monitor a web page on Internet Explorer.
I have permanently deleted this Vbscript file from its original location on system by mistake, However the script is still in RAM and is still running and monitoring the web page.
This script is very important to me but I have lost it :(
I want to know if there is any way by which I can recover the code of Vbscript file from system's RAM or any temporary file as the script is still running.
I am not allowed to use any file recovery software, so please don't suggest to install any third party data recovery software.
Try using 'ADPlus.vbs' script from WinDbg:
1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286350
As the code was running, I followed the below process to recover the running code:
Go to Task Manager
Select the process and create dump
Open online dump analyser (www.osronline.com)
Upload dump file
Download the dump analysis
The dump analysis provided almost 95% of the correct code. Code within some loops were distorted or changed. As I was the owner of the code I was able to correct it.
Use HxD, it can view all ram content relative to any process at fly. It is commonly used to hack currently running games etc.
After locating your script, it might be needed to clear alphanumeric mess between your code, N++ and regex knowledge may be useful.
I have a cmd file that was working the whole time during my testing and from one minute to the other it doesn't execute my call to another batch file anymore.
The command not working anymore is:
call myfile.bat
Now the only thing that happens at this line is an error: "The provided program can not be executed"
I don't know if it's the exact English version as my system is in German, but it should be like that or similar.
Anyone has an idea why it's not executing my batch file anymore?
virus infection
hard disk crash
insufficient permission
lock by administration
memory leak
unstable power supply
processor overheating
flash of lightning
general failure
unknown reason
myfile.bat got overwritten.
Are you now executing as a different user?
I am doing some analysis work on some software we are running where I work. The software seems to have memory issues some where along the line which are proving difficult to track down. We have decided to use Sysinternals VMMap to track the memory being used by the software.
We have VMMap exporting the usage every 20 seconds using Windows scheduler to launch a batch script which pulls back the target process PID and launches VMMap with it. The process runs for a while, output appearing the out directory but after a while it stops. Windows scheduler reports the job ran fine and will start another instance when the trigger is meant, once again with no output.
After a bit of investigation it looks like VMMap is failing to open the process and is trying to report an error through its GUI. Since we are running in batch, we cannot see this error to dismiss it. This is causing numerous process' to be spawned but not actually doing anything.
Has anyone come across this issue when using VMMap, or know of anything that may help? I am thinking there may be some flag I can pass which suppresses messages or maybe some way I can handle it in the batch but Google hasn't helped nor has the Sysinternals forum. Any help would be really appreciated.
VMMap is a GUI tool, so trying to capture its output in an automated way will be difficult. Instead, try using another SysInternals tool, Handle, that captures a lot of the same information, but exports/reports on it in command line, where it can be captured much easier. Alternatively, don't run the output in an auto-repeating way when using VMMap, but instead have your script somehow detect the error or missing expected results/data and stop so the GUI output can be examined.
All Sysinternals tools do pop up a consent dialog for the first time they are started on a new machine to accept their license. I think you did deploy the tool to a production machine and it was trying to show the consent dialog but nobody did press ok.
They do basically create a registry key on the machine which you can fake if you need a fully automated deployement or you can start in once on the target machine for the user in question.
