Forms :: Start CMD And Pass A Command To It And Then Monitor It In The App?
Oct 12, 2011
I am trying to start CMD and pass a command to it and then monitor it in the app I am writing. The user enters the information that makes the commandline and when they click Go it does start CMD but straight away it says it can't find the file.Is there any way I can view what is being sent to the CMD prompt to double check that this is correct? Do I need to specify the path to the file I want it to run, i.e. cscript c: estMigrate.wsf?

I have the following windows service file:
Imports System.ServiceProcess
Imports System.IO
Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).

I'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.

Here's what I currently have:
[Code]...
I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.

I will build a EXE file without form, this EXE file will turn off monitor, then invoke this EXE from command line.The turn off monitor code is below
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = &H112
[code]....
I want to know what about the MainHandle, because there is no the form in the EXE file (Me.Handles invalid), and only invoke the EXE from command line, in other words, there is no the invoke form (FindWindowA is invalid), how to write the MainHandle?

what is the method to tell when a user starts or stops a process? My company makes a software package that allows a tie in from vb. I want to make a package to allow me to start and stop the software remotely and to monitor when the software is running or not.Ideally there would be some sort of event in windows when the user starts or stops the software. I imagine there is some sort of way to do this with a timer, but I am sure that windows will have some sort of event process when the program starts. I have googled this and looked through the xtremevbtalk forums for this but I am not quite sure as to what keywords to use.

I am struggling to pass a parameter to a VB.NET application via a Windows scheduled task. It works perfectly in Visual Studio (passing a command line arguement via project properties).If I am calling a VB6 application, then I will supply the following parameters and it works:
Run: c:progra~1TestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: c:progra~1Test However, if I supply the same parameters in VB.NET, the program throws an exception when it tries to create an instance of a class in the Form.Load: System.NullReferenceException cannot create instance of object.
I have also tried the following:Run: c:program filesTestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: "c:program filesTest" This time the status of the scheduled task changes to "cannot start".What is the correct way to specify command line parameters in a scheduled task for a VB.NET program?UPDATE I found the solution on this web page:[URL}.. I am still confused as to why the program would not create an instance of an object when I used the 8 bit paths (i.e. progra~1)

when I am using the following code. the kill all batch file internally calls a vbs cript like this when a batch file is called using CreateProcess() which internaly calls a vbs script like this cscript //e:vbscript xyz.vbs which intends stops and starts a service in remote PC as follows. But the service is stopping but it is not starting event though it start command is used what could be the reason...
sCommandLine = "SC \"&strMachineName&" stop xyzService"
WScript.Echo(sCommandLine)
Set poProcess = WSHShell.Exec(sCommandLine)

I know how to pass arguments between two dotnet applications! However I have hard time with this: I want to pass a command line argument. for example; test.exe is a console application (none dotnet) self terminating app. From cmd.exe if I type "test.exe -v" the cmd output text will display the test.exe version info. If I place the test.exe in the same path as my VB.net app.What I want to do is:

I want to add a scheduled task like this: Dim myProc As Process myProc = Process.Start("at", "02:00 /every:T,W,Th,F,Sa c:ackup.bat") When I type that command at a command prompt it returns "Added a new job with ID = x". How do I get this ID in my code, as it's needed if I want to delete the scheduled job? I've tried looking at some of the properties of myProc but haven't found the right one yet. Maybe I need to wait until the process has completed? (If so, how will I know?).

I need to open up a cmd prompt, then run a file called adb.exe which opens a shell to communicate with my android cell phone...
Heres what I need:
My Form1
Label1.Text = "adb.exe shell"
Label2.Text = "su"
Label3.Text = "mkdir /etc/folder"
[Code]....
Heres the problem... I can execute any normal dos command automaticly, but once i open the ssh prompt (adb.exe shell), i dont know how to keep putting commands in there...
The commands are stored in strings, and i need to take the commands from the strings, and type them into the command prompt like above.

Since redemption isn�t working [URL] - I need to have outlook running to do what I want.For some reason the only time it works is when I have started outlook manually. It doesn�t work when I use:
Shell("C:ProgramMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11outlook.exe")
or
Shell("C:ProgramMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11outlook.exe", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
Do you know how to call the shell command so that the program starts as if I had started it manually?

I was playing a game recently and saw that they could use args in the shortcut, and I decided to try to impliment this into my application...so far, I got: (runs this sub on load)
Sub startup_args()
If Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path As Array = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs
[code]....
just to see what it returns, but the application crashes. I also tried path.tostring(), but that didn't work. When I did:
If Evnironment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path as string = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.tostring
MsgBox(path)
[code]....
but that returned the value "SString.Array[]"...

Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..
