You could use the server name from the file as a parameter for the second file. I recognize that only one drive can be defragged at a time per machine, but what about multiple servers at a time? If it was easy, everyone would do it, right? Visit the link below to re-post your query for any further assistance. Thanks for riding along on this journey, please put trays and seatbacks back to their upright positions. The recommendation for using the. You can put whatever you want there to cause the artificial delay. I'm running in circles here. Note: Most features from this tip were incorporated in the plugin that lets you define how to launch and display results from your own asynchronous commands before Vim 8.
Credit due: for the amazing batch way of checking for a running process goes to a Mr. See below what i have in the batch file. I ran some tests in Windows 7 and found the following parameters for file associations: Parameter Evaluates to %1 Long fully qualified path of file %D Long fully qualified path of file %H 0 %I : number: number %L Long fully qualified path of file %S 1 %V Long fully qualified path of file %W Long fully qualified path of parent folder So far I don't have a clue as to what %H, %I and %S are for. Sean the Energized Tech Powershell. Any help would be appreciated. Note that if you search for this on the Web you will find references to this from 2012 when 2. Peter Mortensen, which I found at this link cduff - no, it doesn't wait for the cmd either GerardMainardi - 1 - My version is same as yours, ver 6.
Now the flash is totally bearable, and not nearly as annoying. And it seems we can no longer get a short file name even if we want to. Now i've finally found out what the deal is about this. Dive in and use it now, It'll take no time. According to , any such characters in a shell command will be expanded to the previously used shell command unless escaped with a backslash. One that reads the file and launches the second script once for each server.
If at all possible, modify the batch file to run whatever program with the start command. This can be done by explicitly running. The Windows start command opens the passed file in a separate window, so that Vim doesn't block; the Windows shell locates the application that is associated with the type of file. Getting results back into Vim In many cases, you may want to run a process in a shell, but then do something with the results in Vim. I'm running Powershell V2 on 64 bit Windows 7.
The second script would be the piece that checks the drives and does the defragmentation. When searching for an executable, if there is no match on any extension, then looks to see if the name matches a directory name. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. First off, I am very new to Powershell 3rd day on it , so bear with me. But, if you want to do this while continuing to use Vim, you can use the methods from above to launch the process asynchonously, and then use Vim's features to send the results back into Vim. I've used in the past, and it seems to have worked for what I want.
This then also means that if you e. One caveat to this is that if you're running a console-mode program, which many script interpreters are, the batch file will wait for the program to exit, and using start will spawn a new console window. At this point, I can't verify that it's even starting up the other script. If that works, it will be a matter of figuring out why win2k3 doesn't like it. Yeah I'm in a typing mood. Edited March 5, 2010 by Martin H Hmmm. Nbula92 Please leave the thread as this is not your question.
Still poking around at diff options. This is important, otherwise every time we invoke our command, we will leave behind the temporary file. I actually didn't know the distinction. ComputerHope is a wealth of information. If it is not an internal cmd command or batch file then it is a program and will run as either a windowed application or a console application. You can use the call command. And, sad though it is to say, if we could depend on our users to click the 'Any' key when they were done, we wouldn't have to script in an automatic logoff.
I deliberately use quoting because in the scenario above, the path of the executable will contain spaces. Otherwise, a simple program e. Dive in and use it now, It'll take no time. Is there a nowait function or anything I can use so that it keeps rolling through? Dive in and use it now, It'll take no time. Note that the node number can be changed to any valid node number for that computer without having to change the affinity mask.
By default, start returns immediately without waiting for the program to exit, so the batch file will continue to run and, presumably, exit immediately. When it runs, it steals the shell until it terminates, so I have to create a new shell window to continue doing command line work. If your goal is to continue working in Vim, sending the new console window to the background would be useful. The black window you're thinking of is the Console. Start, in most cases allows you to execute a batch command with arguments, otherwise it's usually not needed. Not sure if that really helps you. Not sure if that has an effect or not.
Hopefully this saves some headache for someone else down the line. Here is a simple example:. Here is how to get the best of both worlds: :! Worked without a hitch the first time. We use --remote-expr to make it easy to write and invoke a function to process the results of the command in any way we desire. The only problem I'm having with the above is that in both cases, the second of two commands is launched before the user terminates the first command.
