I ran into the same problem: tried to delete a folder (as admin), but got an error message “You need permissions from MYCOMPUTER\Admin …” Somehow this worked: I just went into the folder and deleted everything inside. Now when I try to delete the folder, it works fine. Not sure why, but it seems like you found … Read more
I already said that I was new to exec() function. After doing some more digging, I came upon 2>&1 which needs to be added at the end of command in exec(). Thanks @mattosmat for pointing it out in the comments too. I did not try this at once because you said it is a Linux command, I am on Windows. So, what … Read more
You can effectively “empty” the Recycle Bin from the command line by permanently deleting the Recycle Bin directory on the drive that contains the system files. (In most cases, this will be the C: drive, but you shouldn’t hardcode that value because it won’t always be true. Instead, use the %systemdrive% environment variable.) The reason that this tactic works … Read more
On Windows, a good 3-way diff/merge tool remains kdiff3 (WinMerge, for now, is still 2-way based, pending WinMerge3) See “How do you merge in GIT on Windows?” and this config. Update 7 years later (Aug. 2018): Artur Kędzior mentions in the comments: If you guys happen to use Visual Studio (Community Edition is free), try the tool that is shipped with it: vsDiffMerge.exe. It’s … Read more
Background: I am trying to write a [.bat] file so I can double click it and a bash script will get invoked. The bash script will start up a few windows GUI apps to monitor GPU/CPU temperatures. I just did a fresh install of cygwin v1.7.7-1 (downloaded today) and windows 7. Code: monitor-temps.bat: Code: monitor-temps.bash: … Read more
Personally I use exit. The normal exit command simply terminates the current script, and the parent (for example if you were running a script from command line, or calling it from another batch file) exit /b is used to terminate the current script, but leaves the parent window/script/calling label open. With exit, you can also add an error level … Read more
To run the functions in a DLL, first find out what those functions are using any PE (Portable Executable) analysis program (e.g. Dependency Walker). Then use RUNDLL32.EXE with this syntax: dllname is the path and name of your dll file, entrypoint is the function name, and optional arguments are the function arguments
These are API-sets – essentially, an extra level of call indirection introduced gradually since windows 7. Dependency walker development seemingly halted long before that, and it can’t handle API sets properly. So these are all false alarms and nothing to worry about. You’re not missing anything. Also see On API-MS-WIN-XXXXX.DLL, and Other Dependency Walker Glitches. … Read more
Got it. As a Windows user, I’m used to type executable names without extensions. In my case, I wanted to execute a file called cup.bat. In a Windows shell, typing cup would be enough. Bash doesn’t work this way, it wants the full name. Typing cup.bat solved the problem. (I wasn’t able to run the file though, since apparently bash … Read more
