I'm in the windows environment and I need my program to be able to run a CMD command as an administrator...
when I try to run via System.cmd the exception return is
message: Unable to remove service (not enough privileges?)
Edit:
Using iex -S mix the program works normally
but when I generate the release and work erlsrv
https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlsrv.html
it is installed as a service on windows but a service without permissions to run on CMD
Typically, this is solved by giving your user a permission to run the program under your user with sudo without a password.
In /etc/sudoers:
your_user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/service_to_run
Then in your elixir application:
System.cmd("sudo", ["/usr/bin/service_to_run"], env: [{"FOO", "bar"}])
When I try to run my gitlab-ci.yml, I got this error ?
Has anyone have any idea?
Thank you
The Error: mkdir command fails.
mkdir is a Linux/iOS command that creates a new directory.
When it throws the error:
Permission denied
it tells that the user running that command (the user executing the script or running the process) has no rights to create a directory in
/Users/nawinpoolsawad/builds/pxKER6-V/0/bitnance-exchange/exchange-ios.tmp
To fix the issue, change permission of the directory /Users/nawinpoolsawad/builds/pxKER6-V/0/bitnance-exchange/ and its parents or execute that application/script with another user (eg root).
I've saved 'hello world' as a .rb file on my computer running Mac OS X Lion. I'm trying to create a new directory called ruby_tutorials in the root of my file system, but I'm having some trouble.
I tried typing in the command mkdir /ruby_tutorials in a terminal, but I got this error message: 'Permission Denied'. How can I overcome this?
Try this:
sudo mkdir /ruby_tutorials
sudo allows you to execute commands as a superuser. You need administrative privileges to create a directory in your root directory. One reason to use sudo for individual commands instead of always having administrative privileges is that it protects you from accidentally harming your system.
I want to install a Windows service using a Windows command prompt (not the Visual Studio command prompt).
How do I do this?
Navigate to the installutil.exe in your .net folder (for .net 4 it's C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 for example) and use it to install your service, like this:
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe" "c:\myservice.exe"
Regarding a comment, for 64bit apps, use below:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe
Nothing wrong with SC Create command.
Just you need to know the correct args :
SC CREATE "MySVC" binpath= "D:\Me\Services\MySVC\MySVC.exe"
If the directory's name has a space like c:\program files\abc 123, then you must use double quotes around the path.
installutil.exe "c:\program files\abc 123\myservice.exe"
It makes things much easier if you set up a bat file like following,
e.g. To install a service, create a "myserviceinstaller.bat" and "Run as Administrator"
#echo off
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
installutil.exe "C:\Services\myservice.exe"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto error
exit
:error
echo There was a problem
pause
to uninstall service,
Just add a -u to the installutil command.
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe -u "C:\Services\myservice.exe"
Perform the following:
Start up the command prompt (CMD) with administrator rights.
Type c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe [your windows service path to exe]
Press return and that's that!
It's important to open with administrator rights otherwise you may find errors that come up that don't make sense. If you get any, check you've opened it with admin rights first!
To open with admin rights, right click 'Command Prompt' and select 'Run as administrator'.

Install Service:-
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe"
"C:\Services\myservice.exe"
UnInstall Sevice:-
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" -u "C:\Services\myservice.Service.exe"
Create a *.bat file beside of your windows service exe file for installing with the following context:
CLS
ECHO Installing My Windows Service
START %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe "%~d0%~p0\YourWindowsServiceExeName.exe"
Create a *.bat file beside of your windows service exe file for uninstalling with the following context:
CLS
ECHO Uninstalling My Windows Service
START %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe -u "%~d0%~p0\YourWindowsServiceExeName.exe"
Run each of bat file as Admin to install or uninstall your windows service.
I must add one more point in this thread. To install/uninstall 64-bit version of assemblies one should use 64-bit version of tool. To install a service, the command should be:
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe"
"C:\YourFolder\YourService.exe"
and to uninstall the command should be:
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" -u
"C:\YourFolder\YourService.exe"
Run Windows Command Prompt as Administrator
paste this code: cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ to go to folder
edit and run this too: installutil C:\ProjectFolder\bin\Debug\MyProject.exe
Note: To uninstall: installutil /u C:\ProjectFolder\bin\Debug\MyProject.exe
open Developer command prompt as Admin and navigate to
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
Now use path where is your .exe there
InstallUtil "D:\backup\WindowsService\WindowsService1\WindowsService1\obj\Debug\TestService.exe"
Open Visual studio and select new project by selecting Windows Service template in Windows Desktop tab. Than copy following code into your service_name.cs file.
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
namespace TimerService
{
public partial class Timer_Service : ServiceBase
{
public Timer_Service()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
static void Main()
{
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
Timer_Service service = new Timer_Service();
service.OnStart(null);
}
else
{
ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
{
new Timer_Service()
};
ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
}
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
EventLog.WriteEvent("Timer_Service", new EventInstance(0, 0, EventLogEntryType.Information), new string[] { "Service start successfully." });
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
EventLog.WriteEvent("Timer_Service", new EventInstance(0, 0, EventLogEntryType.Information), new string[] { "Service stop successfully." });
}
}
}
Right-Click on service_name.cs file and open designer of service. than right-click and select Add Installer. than right-click on serviceProcessInstaller1 and change its property value of Account from User to Local System.
Remove static void main method from Program.cs file.
Than save and Build your project.
NOTE: goto bin\Ddebug folder of your project folder. Than open Properties of your service_name.exe file. Than goto Compatibility tab. Than click on Change Settings For All Users.
Select option Run this program as an administrator.
Now, You have to open CommandPromt as Administrator.
After open, set directory to where your InstallUtil.exe file is placed.
for ex: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319.
now write the following command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>InstallUtil.exe -i C:\TimerService\TimerService\bin\Debug\TimerService.exe
Note: -i is for install he service and -u for Unsinstall.
after -i set the write the path where you want to install your service.
now write the command in CommandPromt as follows:
C:\TimerService\TimerService\bin\Debug>net start service_name
Note: use stop for stop the Service.
Now, open ViewEventLog.exe. Select Windows Logs>Application. There you can check your Service's log by start and stop the service.
the following code , install and uninstall the Service,
Open the command prompt and run the program as an administrator and fire the below command and press enter.
Syntax
To Install
C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319>InstallUtil.exe + Your copied path + \your service name + .exe
eg :Our Path
InstallUtil.exe C:\MyFirstService\bin\Debug\MyFirstService.exe
To uninstall
C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319>InstallUtil.exe -u + Your copied path + \your service name + .exe
eg : Our path InstallUtil.exe -u C:\MyFirstService\bin\Debug\MyFirstService.exe
for more help you can see the following link: sample program
If you are using Powershell and you want to install .NET service you can use Install-Service module. It is a wrapper for InstalUtil tool.
It exposes 3 commands
Install-Service - invokes InstallUtil.exe pathToExecutable command
Install-ServiceIfNotInstalled - first it checks if service is
installed if not perform the method Install-Service
Uninstall-Service- it uninstalls service. ServiceName of path to executable can be used.
Code to this module can be viewed here
start up the command prompt (CMD) with administrator rights.
Type c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe [your windows service path to exe]
Press return
1.From the Start menu, select the Visual Studio directory, then select Developer Command Prompt for VS .
2.The Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio appears.
3.Access the directory where your project's compiled executable file is located.
4.Run InstallUtil.exe from the command prompt with your project's executable as a parameter
when your assembly version and your Visual studio project Biuld setting on dot net 2 or 4 install with same version.
install service with installutil that same version
if build in dot net 4
Type c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe
if build in dot net 2
Type c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.11319\installutil.exe
Follow these steps when deploying the Windows Service, don't lose time:
Run command prompt by the Admin right
Insure about release mode when compilling in your IDE
Give a type to your project installer on design view
Select authentication type in accordance the case
Insure about software dependencies: If you are using a certificate install it correctly
Go your console write this:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\yourRecentVersion\installutil.exe c:\yourservice.exe
there is a hidden -i argument before the exe path -i c:\ you can use -u for uninstallling
Look your .exe path to seem log file. You can use event viewer to observing in the feature
you can do using command prompt and write:
C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe -i ".EXE file of window service"
You can use InstallUtil to install any windows service.
1: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 in command prompt running as Adminstrator.
2: Copy the Exe path and type InstallUtil.exe "your exe path"
and hit enter.

You should open command prompt, go to
C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe -i ".EXE file of window service"
Open command prompt as administrator, go to your Folder where your .exe resides.
To Install Exe as service
D:\YourFolderName\YourExeName /i
To uninstall use /u.
I am running Ruby on Rails 3.0.9 in a remote VPS machine running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I would like to know if it is possible to run some related Linux folder and file permission commands "directly" stating those in the RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/production.rb file. If so, how to accomplish that to set my RAILS_ROOT/public directory and its sub directories with 755 permissions?
I would like to make that because I would like to automate "setting" processes.
try this
system "chmod 755 public"
check out: System call from Ruby
You can use system command to run the OS commands. Make sure you don't face any security related issues.
Instead see if you can change the permissions while deploying the code itself.
