Kill processes by image name

Have a runaway process with hundreds or thousands of programs (eg: cmd.exe) all running and need to kill them all in one go?

taskkill /F /IM cmd.exe
taskkill /F /IM bash.exe

How to force logoff a session on another server

Method 1 with the TSM GUI

  • Launch Terminal Services Manager (in Administrative Tools)
  • In the menu: Actions "Connect to Computer..."
  • Enter name of server you want to get on to
  • Right-click and logoff one of the displayed sessions

Method 2 with Command prompt

  • Launch Windows (DOS) box
  • Enter "query session /server:<servername>"
  • Enter "logoff <ID> /server:<servername>"

Return the value of a function into a variable in DOS batch .bat file

What an awful language!

set NLS_LANG=
@echo NLS_LANG has been cleared
@FOR /F "usebackq delims=!" %%i IN (`sqlplus -s /nolog @set_NLS_LANG.sql`) DO @set NLS_LANG=%%i
@echo NLS_LANG has been set to %NLS_LANG%

Create a Scheduled Task from the command line

This one is particularly interesting as I need to start a shell Cygwin shell script on a regular basis
As crontab is not implemented by default, I use the Windows Scheduler to start the jobs.
This one creates a task called dbamon_dblist tat runs a shell every 10 minutes starting at 9 am and going on for 24 hours (so, forever).
It is run a user different from the logged on user. The echo at the start is to answer N to the question "Task exists, do you want to replace it". For some reason that doesnt work too well :(

echo N|SCHTASKS /Create /SC MINUTE /MO 10 /TN dbamon_dblist /TR "c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l -c /cygdrive/c/home/ibmtools/scripts/oracle/dbamon_dblist.ksh" /ST 09:00 /RU runasuser /RP runaspwd
