Bat File and SQLPLUS - sqlplus

I have small .bat file that logs on to Oracle 11g database using SQLPLUS and executes a .sql file. The problem I am getting is exiting SQLPLUS via the .bat file. Searching the internet, I was lead to believe leaving a line and then write EXIT, but this does not work.
So, my question is, how do I exit SQLPLUS via a .bat file?

Add exit and | before sqlplus command.
exit|sqlplus
e.g.
a.bat:
exit|sqlplus system/system#orcl #1.sql
exit|sqlplus system/system#orcl #2.sql

Add a '/' (add it without quotes) at the end of the .sql file without any space in front of it. This will cause the control to exit from the .sql file and back to your .bat file.

powershell v2 possible redirection problem

I know this must be easy,
i have the following:
ls | % { file.exe $_.fullname }
What i want to do is just run the file.exe command on all files in the current folder.
Here is my problem: in powershell ISE console everything works out. The results from the file.exe (console program) are shown in the results pane for all files in the folder.
When i run the command in my shell though nothing is shown. All the results are redirected dont know where.
After that, whatever command i type in the shell i get no output.
Help!
Try opening PowerShell using PowerShell -NoProfile. Executing this command will open the shell igonring you profile script. This could be because of some conflicting setting in you profile script, if any.

How to call multiple bash command and ssh in Ruby?

I want to do the following commands in ruby.
ssh into another computer using ssh example#example
set source file source ~/.profile
cd to/some/folder
call my shell script with parameters, a json formatted string ,./my_script.sh my_hash.to_json
However I am facing these problems:
I call them in one line using backticks, it works, but it is a very bad practice in my opinion because it is not readable nor it is maintainable.
On the other hand, when I call my_hash.to_json, the resulted string has non-escaped double quotes, How do I escape them?
I would recommend to view this tutorial for ssh with ruby. then make a shell script and move it to server and then execute like a single command.
create a single shell script file for example script1 and then execute it at once instead of executing each command individually.
open file script1 using any editor.
copy all commands to script1 (each command in new line).
script1 file should look like this
#!/bin/bash
ssh example#example
source ~/.profile
cd to/some/folder
save file
make this file executable using chmod +x script
execute it in ruby like this [backtick]./script1[backtick]
note: copy script1 to usr/bin to avoid "./" and then try command only script1.
Reference for passing arguments in shell script is here.

How to stop/start Neo4j server via .bat script in windows

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!

Executing things on console2 startup

I am using console2 and I am trying to execute a few simple things when I fire console2 like
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\MyPgm\Git\bin
How can I do such things.
And on the side is there somewhere I can find example of nice configs of console2
The version I am working with is 2.00.148
First, create a batch file (*.bat) with any name you like ("shell.bat") and add the lines to be executed on the start up of the console.. additionally you have to add "cmd" (or "bash") command at the end of file to open up the command shell...the file will be like that
#echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\MyPgm\Git\bin
cmd
then run console2 ..from Main Menu > Edit > Settings > "Console" Node .. and press ".." button beside "shell" field ,select "*.bat" file type then select the file you created earlier OR write down the path to this file..(you can also set working directory in "startup dir")...save and restart
that's it !!
Enjoy !!
My use case is that I would like to run a command just after start the console2, in this case it is a command to set ruby version. The process is similar to #nobleCoder
create the .bat file, I name it ruby_setup.bat
#echo off
set init_ruby_243=uru 243p205
cmd.exe /k "%init_ruby_243%"
specify .bat file to execute when start the console2 by going to Edit > Settings then at the Shell field select the file ruby_setup.bat or manually input it like C:/users/myname/ruby_setup.bat then save and restart.
Hope this help.

Powershell ISE appears to hang with interactive commands.

I've just downloaded Powershell 2.0 and I'm using the ISE. In general I really like it but I am looking for a workaround on a gotcha. There are a lot of legacy commands which are interactive. For example xcopy will prompt the user by default if it is told to overwrite a file.
In the Powershell ISE this appears to hang
mkdir c:\tmp
cd c:\tmp
dir > tmp.txt
mkdir sub
xcopy .\tmp.txt sub # fine
xcopy .\tmp.txt sub # "hang" while it waits for a user response.
The second xcopy is prompting the user for permission to overwrite C:\tmp\sub\tmp.txt, but the prompt is not displayed in the ISE output window.
I can run this fine from cmd.exe but then what use is ISE? How do I know when I need which one?
In a nutshell, Interactive console applications are not supported in ISE (see link below). As a workaround, you can "prevent" copy-item from overwriting a file by checking first if the file exists using test-path.
http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2009/02/04/console-application-non-support-in-the-ise.aspx
Why would you be using XCOPY from PowerShell ISE? Use Copy-Item instead:
Copy-Item -Path c:\tmp\tmp.txt -Destination c:\tmp\sub
It will overwrite any existing file without warning, unless the existing file is hidden, system, or read-only. If you want to overwrite those as well, you can add the -force parameter.
See the topic "Working with Files and Folders" in the PowerShell ISE help file for more info, or see all the commands at MSDN.
