I understand running the command shell as a process, How would i run multiple arguments in that one process? For example, here's a process to do a netstat.[code]How would I do that with the following commands? I'd like to click one button and have these all run one after the other.[code]

View 2 RepliesI am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

i am trying to write a little program that checks for a process and kills is.here is the
Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine")(0)
p.CloseMainWindow()[code]...
My problem is it�s woking ,yes if the programm ,,Cheat Engine" is running the process is getting killed.But if the program is not running my program crashes.

View 9 RepliesI have a console application and I have figured out how to type in the command window with Console.WriteLine() but i need to run a command (ex. net user) then wait for a response and type another command, for some reason I cant figure out how to type the command and automatically press enter without closing the window. I tried Console.WriteLine("net user") but all it does is write "net user" in the command window so I used My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) after Console.Writeline and it just wrote "net user" then exited the window. Is there any way to run a command through a console application? if so how would i do this?

I have a pretty simple question, I have a form with a text box and was hoping if it would be possible to get my program to run a command and to use value in the textbox in the command? and if possible then to pipe the output to a text file
ie if my text box has ip address 192.168.1.1 and I click on the run button I want to run the following command
ping 192.168.1.1 >d: est.txt

View 1 RepliesDim movie As String = TextBox1.Text

Dim box As New Process
box.StartInfo.FileName = "MP4Box.exe"

When i click a button this code is executed. But it wont execute the command "MP4Box.exe -ttxt " + """" + subtitle + """" Why?
i have been looking everywhere for the method used when you click the [X] Button so like that i can run some commands on form exit. I found Form_Unload method replacing Form with the name of my form and no luck. I'm sure there has been some talk on the subject but searching forum shows nothing that seems to work.
View 3 RepliesWill the commands I send to a Process.Start() be obeyed from within the IDE? [code]This doesn't work in the IDE, just gives me a blank window with the full string as the window name, but I'd like to fire up ffmpeg from within the app, wondering if it's an IDE thing or my code. I know some things in Flash work differently in the IDE than the "real" thing, not sure if VS does it too.
View 1 RepliesI am almost sure this isn't possible but it's worth an ask... We have a .NET DLL that is being called from our VB6 application. The VB6 app runs in a 32 bit process so the DLL runs in the same process (it's compiled as any cpu) Therefore when I do my ODBC Database access in the DLL is will only use a 32 bit driver, as this is what it thinks it needs (for the record the DB is Pervasive PSQL)
My problem arises when the application runs on a 64 bit machine (when only the 64 bit ODBC driver is installed) as it can't find a suitable driver to use. So is there a way to force the .NET DLL to run in a 64 bit process (compiling as x64 doesn't work because register for COM Interop is not allowed) This isn't necessarily an issue at this point in time because I can install the 32 bit driver, but at some point in the future I can imagine that 32 bit driver may not be available so I will be up the proverbial creek.
how to run a process as a child process?
I'm using this code to launch a process:
Dim appdirect As String = Application.ExecutablePath
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.EXE", "")
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.exe", "")
[Code]....
It runs the process but I need it to run as a child process of SIS.exe.
Lets say i have this in a shell "chdir * && whoami.exe >> $$$"I have this replacecommand dim ReplaceCommand as String = sCommand.Replace("*", UserDirect)I also would like the $$$ to be replaced with a user chosen filepath.I can get the file path chosen but it never puts it into the shell.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have this which is exporting the SDK info to a txt file. I would also like to export the processes that are running to the same text file.
Dim sdkCommand As String
sdkCommand = "C:WindowsSystem32Java.exe -version 2> C:UsersJavaSDKInfo.txt"
Shell("cmd.exe /c" & sdkCommand)
End Sub
If I try adding this to it, I am only able to still see the output from sdkCommand, but nothing about the tasks that are running. I am assuming I need to combine the shell statements?

I am making a program which will read data from csv and pick up Username & Computer name from the csv.
Then it will run commands via telnet with those username and computer on line at a time. I have reached this goal without any problem. I wanted to paste the code here but its too much.
Basically what i now want to do is have a option for user to skip a command.
Like if csv have 3 users in it. i.e.
j.doe, comp1
t.test, comp2
u.user, comp3
Popup will come and say do you want to run the command "add user j.doe, comp1" something and you will have option to say Yes, No , Cancel.
Where yes will run the command and no will skip that user (go to next one) and cancel will end the whole process.
I know Msgbox yes,no is there but i dont know how to skip that user.
Following is the code which migh
vb
Dim objCmdSelect As New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM " & fileNam & "", objConn)
For i = 0 To objDataset1.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1

while making my irc bot i need to send many different irc commands such as join channel, change mode, kick user message, topic channel message and so on. All these commands are currently process individually in a public sub on the irc connection thread.

Would you have a load of public sub's to handle each or maybe something else?
I am creating an application to configure some modems through the serial port. I have no problem sending a single string of data to the serial port and displaying the immediate response to a rich text box. I have 2 problems
1st: how to update the rich text box for any delayed response from the modem
2nd: how to react to the response from the modem, in other words I want to send the next command based on the response from the modem witch is usually "OK"

I hope the title gives a good description, i have read the forum posting tips at the top. Ive just joined the community and nice to meet you all. Anyways, I am trying to create a vb.net application for which it will check if a process is running in task manager, and if this process or processes are running to end a different process. Let me give you an example,
If processA, ProcessB is running then END ProcessC. If however ProcessA, and ProcessB are not running then ProcessC can stay active. I have started the project and am able to kill the processes etc. This is shown below.

Im working on a small virus removal application, and i have a piece of code to check if a process is running,although, it doesn't seem to work.The code is as follows:
ListView2.Items.Add(TimeOfDay + " - Starting Process Scanner")
Dim Vir As Process() = Process.GetProcesses
Dim a As Integer
For a = 0 To Vir.Length - 1
Debug.WriteLine(Vir(a).ProcessName)
[Code]...
I'm not sure how I would use Process.GetProcessesByName()to check if a process is running, and if it isn't start it, using VB.NET?I know how to start a process using Process.Start().
