When running the neo4j server in Linux, we have several commands - start, stop, restart, etc - to control it via the command line.
In windows, the manual simply says:
Usage - Windows
Neo4j.bat
Double-clicking on the Neo4j.bat script will start the server in a console. To quit, just press control-C in the console window.
But how do I stop it if I've started it by executing neo4j.bat from a .bat file of my own, and thus don't have a console window?
For context: I'm working on an unmanaged extension, so I need to rebuild my jar, move it into the plugins directory and restart the server each time I make a change. It'd be a pain in the ass to do this manually, so (when when I was working in Linux) I had Intellij rebuild the artifact and execute a .sh script that moved the resultant jar into /plugins and restarted neo4j.
'/path/to/neo4j/bin/neo4j' stop
rm /path/to/neo4j/plugins/api.jar
mv /project/path/artifacts/graphapi.jar /path/to/neo4j/plugins/api.jar
'/path/to/neo4j' start
How do I do the same in windows using a .bat file?
I've tried this:
del "C:/path/to/neo/plugins/api.jar
move "C:/project/path/artifacts/api.jar" "C:/path/to/neo/plugins/api.jar"
C:/neo/bin/Neo4j.bat
hoping that simply calling Neo4j.bat again would stop the current process and start another, but apparently that's not the case.
If you're on Windows you can stop Neo4j server by executing: neo4j.bat stop
Let me show it in details for those who might be new to the command line:
We need to know where Neo4j is located. If you remember where did you extract it - good, you can skip this step. For others: open Task Manager and look for Commons Daemon Service Runner here how it looks like right mouse click, open Properties and look for its Location path. Find this path in your file manager. We are looking for bin folder with neo4j.bat file.
Open command line and write cd and then paste your path, hit enter. You should jump to that folder with neo4j.bat file.
Stop the server: Type neo4j.bat stop and execute. It will ask for your permission .
after that, you can double check and type 'neo4j.bat status` t be sure it's stopped.
P.S. After Windows reboot neo4j server will be automatically restarted. If you don't want this (it consumes up to 500Mb of memory, at least in my DB ~64k records) you should uninstall the service.
Execute neo4j.bat uninstall-service in that directory.
Cheers!

I want to start a shell-script every startup of the openWRT Rooter. But moving it in the etc/init.d directory seems not to work. Want to delete one line in a specific file at every startup. But it does not work.
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
START=80
STOP=85
start(){
grep -vwE "password" /etc/config/glconfig > /etc/config/glconfig
}
What shall i do to execute this (and other) scripts at startup?
Thx for help
In openwrt if you want to run a script on boot you should do:
/etc/init.d/cust_script enable
then reboot the device, it will be effect after reboot.
I have several shortcuts for running scripts with different commands. For example:
<Command name="node-js-run" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="119">cmd /K node "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command>
(in my user's appdata/roaming directory.)
However, when a script has run, the cmd window exits at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++>
This is annoying as I may wish to do something else with the script without having to re-navigate.
Is there a way to tweak the command so that when the script ends, the current directory of the cmd window is the same as the script it just ran please?
I have a server written in Erlang, compiled with Rebar, and I make a release with Relx. Starts nicely with
/root/rel/share3/bin/share3 start
The next step is to start when the server boots.
I have tried different approaches, the last one is using the /etc/init.d/skeleton where I changed the following
NAME=share3
DAEMON=/root/rel/share3/bin/share3
DAEMON_ARGS="$1"
After that, I run update-rc.d, but I have not gotten it too work. (Ubuntu 14.04)
The service runs until the machine reboots, and I need to login and start it again.
For Windows, it is really elegant, since it can create the Windows service.
Ubuntu uses upstart as init system, so you could try something like that:
description "Start my awesome service"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec /root/rel/share3/bin/share3
You have to place this script in /etc/init/ directory with '.conf' extension like '/etc/init/share3.coinf'. To start it invoke sudo start share3.
At last, I solved it!
I have told to relx to place the result at /home/mattias/rel. The script from relx is /home/mattias/rel/share3/bin/share3
Replace the row
SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$0")"
by (you need to fix the path /home/mattias/rel)
HOME=/home/mattias
export HOME
SCRIPT_DIR="/home/mattias/rel/share3/bin"
Copy the file to /etc/init.d/share3 using
sudo cp ~/rel/share3/bin/share3 /etc/init.d/
Test that it works using
/etc/init.d/share3 start
and
/etc/init.d/share3 stop
In order to make it start at boot, install sysv-rc-conf
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
Enable boot at start using
sudo sysv-rc-conf share3 on
and disable
sudo sysv-rc-conf share3 off
Alternatives are welcome.
I am able to run my script successfully from jenkins when jenking is opened using war file.
If set the jenkinks as winservice my script is failing in middle.
I am trying to run a start.bat file from jenkinks, this bat file calls a java class. again this java class uses bat file to run a plink command.
Execution stops at this stepsif jenkinks is running as winservice and also I can't view the output as it is running in background.
Is there any way to make jenkinks behave normal while running as winservice
Thanks
Try this:
1. Go to services (hit windows key, type "services", select "Services" from the list of matches).
2. Find the Jenkins service and open it's properties
3. Switch to Log On tab
4. Change the service to run as you, instead of local system user.
5. Restart service.
Alternative is to fix local system user account (probably environment variables) so it works as local system user.
I'm trying to modify a legacy Delphi 5 app so that it can be launched either from it's icon/via Explorer, or from the console (command-line). When it gets launched from the console, I want the program to detach itself from the console process, so that the console can continue to execute other instructions without waiting for my program to terminate.
I want to use it in a 'batch' file, such that I might have;
#echo off
rem step 1 - do some stuff here
rem
rem step 2 - launch my app
c:\myfolder\myapp
rem
rem step 3 - do some more stuff here
and that the console process moves on to step 3 straight after launching my app in step 2.
I'm sure I've done this before, many years ago, but I'm puzzled as to what exactly I did. I don't want to write a tiny console app 'launcher' for my main Windows app - I'm 95% sure that there was a way of doing this within a 'normal' Delphi GUI app.
I guess I could use vbscript or powershell or something to 'execute' my program with some kind of 'nowait' parameter but the client is familiar with batch files and I don't really want to upset the applecart by suggesting he change his scripts or install additional stuff - I'm making changes to the executable anyway and it would be great to tick this box for him too.
Anyone? :-)
I think the START command is the one you're looking for. It starts a process separately to the console and it's part of cmd.exe so no extra software required.
But I was of the opinion that GUI apps did this anyway. Maybe Delphi is different to MSVC.
Open up a console and type "start /?".
As itowlson states in the comments, GUI application do generally detach themselves. It's the actual cmd.exe shell doing trickery in that it waits for it to finish if it's running from a cmd file.
So "notepad" from the prompt will start it in the background but "notepad" within a cmd file will wait. Within the cmd file, you need to use:
start notepad.exe
or whatever your application is called (not notepad, presumably).
try: start "" c:\myfolder\myapp (with the empty quotes)
I think Microsoft has been solve this problem in Windows Power Shell.
In command prompt, even if you use "start ", you cant detach your process really from cmd. If you close the cmd, you will die, suddenly. But In windows Power Shell, you can detach your program or command from Power Shell as default.
So, if you prefer to use Windows Power Shell instead of Command Prompt, just do this:
PS: X:\> <your command>
Here's one way that I've found. It works quite cleanly and doesn't leave any extra cmd windows around (the recommendation to use start c:\myfolder\myapp does not work:
cmd /c dir && c:\myfolder\myapp
To quote the CMD help:
/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
Note that multiple commands separated by the command separator '&&'
are accepted for string if surrounded by quotes.
Apparently it notices that the dir command terminates and exits, even though your app was launched on the same command. Chalk it up to one of Windows vagaries.
u should use the cd command example
cd/
cd myfolder
start myapp
exit
