I am trying to open the command prompt but if I open it just opens for a second then gets closed. I also use the command prompt for vscode and I am not able to open the terminal in vscode as well. I tried restarting my computer several times but still, the command prompt doesn't open.
Please suggest a solution from which I can open my command prompt
I did have the same problem.
The following method worked for me.
Open Powershell (Admin) and enter:
echo off
reg delete "HKCU\Console" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v "AutoRun" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v "AutoRun" /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\cmd.exe" /f
echo done
Found this on a comment from Mr. Holman Calda in this video How to Fix Command Prompt(CMD) Not Working/Opening in Windows 10.
I have a batch script in Windows7 to update the hosts file that fails.
I am logged as a user with administrative rights.
Even if I run the script with the "Run as administrator" option I get Access denied. 0 files copied when executing this part of the script:
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=:" %%a in ('ipconfig^|find "IPv4"') do set ip=%%b
set ip=%ip:~1%
REM create changing part of hosts file...
if exist %temp%\temp.txt del %temp%\temp.txt
echo %ip% myproxy >> %temp%\temp.txt
REM check this...
set hostpath=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
REM add static part of hosts file
type "%hostpath%\hosts-static" >> %temp%\temp.txt
REM replace hosts file
copy /y %temp%\temp.txt "%hostpath%\hosts"
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh interface IP delete arpcache
pause
I also tried to create a shortcut and set the "Advanced -> Run as Administrator" option but no luck.
If I open a cmd shell as Administrator and then run the script from there everything works fine, but no way of running it directly double-clicking on the file (or its link).
Any idea?
EDIT:
added the whole script.
I tried creating a shortcut for the following command to execute as Administrator
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c script.bat
and it is also failing.
From the same shortcut (without arguments) I can open a window where I can execute the batch correctly. I really cannot see why.
Obviously a late response, but just solved this issue with a very straightforward solution so I thought I'd share:
Using ICACLS you can modify access control lists (ACLs) to bypass access denied errors.
Run the following command:
ICACLS C:\path\to\batch\file\directory\* /C
the parameter /C tells the batch file to bypass access denied errors. Cheers.
Try attrib -r -s -h -a "%hostpath%\hosts" before your copy command. If any file is attributed +r, +s, or +h, you'll get "Access is denied" if you try to overwrite it using copy.
I have a list of aliases defined in a command file (aliases.cmd) that I load whenver I run a command prompt (cmd.exe /k aliases.cmd). Using doskey, I have several aliases defined and I am trying to create one to show only my IP address. I came across this question with a lot of good ways to get an IP in a batch file but none of them seem to work via doskey. For example, I have this alias defined:
doskey ip=ipconfig | findstr /R /C:"IPv4 Address"
When I run it via the command prompt (excluding the doskey portion), it works and only returns the IPv4 address. However, via doskey and the "ip" keyword, it does not work and returns the regular output of "ipconfig".
Is there any way to get an IP address (and only the IP) on Windows via a doskey alias?
So after some study, the only way I could get this to work is the following.
doskey ip=ip.cmd
And ip.cmd has the following.
#echo off
ipconfig | findstr /R /C:"IPv4 Address"
I believe your problem was that you did not escape the pipe character, as with: doskey ip=ipconfig ^| findstr /R /C:"IPv4 Address"
I have a .vbs file called test.vbs. And this is running test.bat file silently.
In test.bat file,
CD.>"C:\folder\empty.srt"
dir /b /s "C:\folder" | findstr /m /i "\.srt$" > C:\old.txt
CD.>C:\new.txt
.
.
echo for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /G:%new% /I /L /B /V %old%') do (#echo %%~nxa >> C:\added.txt)
.
.
CD.>C:\added.txt
del "C:\folder\empty.srt"
When I run test.vbs manually .bat file works fine.
But when I run test.vbs from Windows' Scheduled Tasks (command is: C:\test.vbs (tried wscript test.vbs) )
Only creates empty.srt and removes empty.srt. The other commands are not working.
I don't understand why (maybe administrator priviliges (Account is administrator too).
I thought running as administrator would solve the problem. Or is there another way to do this? How can I do that?
edit: Also working when I run this command from CMD --> wscript C:\test.vbs
Also its working fine on Windows 8
I also ran into this issue a while back, as well as have answered a variation of this issue before.
If it's a 64 bit operating system, then you need to open the script via "C:\windows\syswow64\cscript.exe your_vbs_code.vbs" if not, just use "C:\windows\system32\cscript.exe".
Quite simply, how does one determine whether or not Tomcat is running in Windows, using the command prompt?
I am writing a batch script that must do this. This is the Bash version:
RESULT=`netstat -na | grep $2 | awk '{print $7}' | wc -l`
Where $2 is the port.
I am looking for something similar to that. Using Cygwin is out of the question, of necessity this script must be able to run on machines that only have Tomcat.
Test the status of the Tomcat Service with the SC command. MJB already suggested to test the service status with SC, yet another batch script (without FOR loop) for testing the status:
#ECHO OFF
SC query tomcat5 | FIND "STATE" | FIND "RUNNING" > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
ECHO Stopped
) ELSE (
ECHO Running
)
If you are not sure if the service name is tomcat5 you can list all service names with
SC query state= all | FIND "SERVICE_NAME"
You could use tasklist to check if the tomcat executable is running. For example:
#echo off
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq tomcat.exe" | find /C /I ".exe" > NUL
if %errorlevel%==0 goto :running
echo tomcat is not running
goto :eof
:running
echo tomcat is running
:eof
It is also possible to check a remove server using the options /S, /U and /P. See tasklist /? for details.
Using WMIC
#echo off
wmic process list brief | find /i "tomcat.exe"
set result=%ERRORLEVEL%
if "%result%"=="1" echo "not running"
if "%result%"=="0" echo "running"
note : /i is to make the find operation case-insensitive.
This is the Windows version of the netstat based UNIX/LINUX solution asked in the question:
#echo off
netstat -na | find "LISTENING" | find /C /I ":8080" > NUL
if %errorlevel%==0 goto :running
echo tomcat is not running
goto :eof
:running
echo tomcat is running
:eof
Well, I am not very good with scripts but perhaps you could use this as a starting point:
netstat -a -n | findstr :8005
To get if someone is listening in port 8005. That is Tomcat's default port for remote administration, i.e. startup or shutdown.
Alternatively you could use the port that the http server listens to.
Hope this helps
use netstat -a in command prompt.
You'll find 8080 port listed there.
If you run Tomcat for Windows not like a service and don't want to exploit JMX the best way is
for /F %%I in ('tasklist /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Tomcat" /NH') do if %%I==java.exe goto alreadyRun
where:
Tomcat - the window title of the Tomcat's terminal window by default
java.exe - the name of the Tomcat's processe. NOT tomcat.exe.
Yet another option, since this is probably running as a service
FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%A IN ('SC QUERY tomcat5 ^| FIND "STATE"') DO SET status=%%A
echo "%status%"
status can be things like STOPPED, RUNNING ...
I check it by calling a vb script from command line
cscript //nologo checkurl.vbs | findstr "200"
IF errorlevel 1 GOTO :not_running
Save the below script as checkurl.vbs and replace the ip with machines ip
' Create an HTTP object
myURL = "http://10.1.1.1:8080/"
Set objHTTP = CreateObject( "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" )
' Download the specified URL
objHTTP.Open "GET", myURL, False
On Error Resume Next
objHTTP.Send
intStatus = objHTTP.Status
If intStatus = 200 Then
WScript.Echo intStatus
Else
WScript.Echo "Error Connecting"
End If
I had problems with using sc query command, because even if tomcat crashed, the service would still be shown as running where in actual the port was not accessible
You can try searching for the process and extracting the line
For example:
ps|grep tomcat
