Calling GPG4win from Moveit central command line app - encryption

I received an error while decrypting a file encrypted by one of my vendor using moveit central(Ipswitch product ver8.0).
However it fails, alternately it works using gpg4win due to some legacy systems at vendor end.
Now I am trying to call the gpg4win using central's command line app process.
The command line app path- is the CWD where the application is installed on the server.
However I am confused with command line paramters.
What I manged is
Command line ap path: C:\PROGRA~1\DeCompress\
Command line app_appparms: >> [InputFile] [OutputFile] ascii crlf de3 the latter half of this parameter ascii and crlf de3 this I have picked up from another job I have. Not sure what parameters need to come herewith GPG4win.
Kindly consider this on priority.
Thanks

Udev-Rule with "PROGRAM" statement is nor executed anymore after update to ubuntu 22.04.1

I'm running a udev rule on my 3D printing server to automatically create easily identifyable symlinks to some attached microcontroller boards, which worked perfectly fine on ubuntu 20.04.
The rule triggers on the usb vendor and product ids and runs a python script via the PROGRAM directive. The script connects to the Microcontroller boards and reads it's init sequence to get the board's 'name'. It then outputs a string like "aaaaaaa b cccccc" and only the first block (containing the name) is used in the udev rule.
However, it seems like the whole PROGRAM directive is not executed at all anymore, since I updated my system to ubuntu 22.04.1.
My udev rule currently looks like this (While debugging. Regularly it just contained lines 1 and 3. I added #2 for testing purposes because the hook in line 1 works and that script is executed):
KERNELS=="ttyUSB*", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="0403", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="6001", ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}!="AI046A0Q", ACTION=="add|remove", RUN="/bin/su me -c \"/opt/me/deviceReg.py -d %k -a %E{ACTION}\""
KERNELS=="ttyUSB*", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="0403", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="6001", ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}!="AI046A0Q", ACTION=="add|remove", PROGRAM="/opt/me/serialUdev.py -s %s{serial} /dev/%k", SYMLINK+="%c{1}", OWNER="me", GOTO="script_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}!="AI046A0Q", PROGRAM="/opt/me/serialUdev.py -s %s{serial} /dev/%k", SYMLINK+="%c{1}", OWNER="me", GOTO="script_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A9QXPRV7", SYMLINK+="tty_MainSwitch", GROUP="dialout", OWNER="me", GOTO="script_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A9QOIMJ6", SYMLINK+="tty_Cooler", GROUP="dialout", OWNER="me", GOTO="script_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A9PTMHGV", SYMLINK+="tty_CurrentTransformer", GROUP="dialout", OWNER="me", GOTO="script_end"
The python scripts write to some logfiles which clearly indicate that only lines 1 and 4, 5 or 6 are executed.
Is there anything in line 3 that isn't supported anymore in the latest udev version? As I said, line 3 worked perfectly before I updated the system.
The last 3 lines are my current workaround. They work fine but that's not what I want to achive with this whole naming system at all.
The python script in lines 2 & 3 runs perfectly fine, either if called as standard user or as root. It would also deliver valid output if the '-s ' input data is not matching the uc board, is missing or is random garbage.
Does anyone have an idea why the script omits any line with a PROGRAM statement?
Ok, I was able to solve the issue.
I set udev's log level to debug too see what's actually happening when the device is handled. The script actually IS invoked but immediately failed during importing needed modules: The pyserial module could not be found.
The module is installed though, but obviously in a way it could not be imported.
However, I checked the python script again and changed the first line from #!/usr/bin/env python3 to #!/usr/bin/python3 and now it works again.
So my problem actually wasn't related to udev at all, it was just my python script.

How do I open a document from R?

I want to open a file from within R.
I can launch the software (graphpad prism) with the following:
system2("C:/Program Files (x86)/GraphPad/Prism 7/prism.exe")
I expected this to open my prism file as if I were double clicking on it or running it from cmd, but it didn't:
system2("H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx")
I am receiving the message:
Warning message: running command
'H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx' had status 127
I see that this is not an error but just a warning. Am I unintentionally "shelling" the document in the background? How would I make sure it pops up as a window?
Status 127 was addressed here, but for launching the software, not opening the document with it.
In Windows environments, you need to call a command line interpreter like CMD prompt or PowerShell. Also, any file path that has spaces needs to be enclosed in double quotes above the quotes needed in R for string literals (the case for your .exe not specific file).
With system() send entire command in one string:
system('cmd /c "H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx"')
# POWER SHELL REQUIRES MORE QUOTE ESCAPING (ONLY ONE PAIR W/O SPACES)
system('powershell & """H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx"""')
With system2() use the args parameter:
# FILES
system2('cmd', args=c('/c', '"H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx"'))
system2('powershell', args=c(' & """H:/Graphs/Shell/Templates/NASH4_Standard.pzfx"""'))
# EXECUTABLES
system2('cmd', args=c('/c', '"C:/Program Files (x86)/GraphPad/Prism 7/prism.exe"'))
system2('powershell', args=c(' & """C:/Program Files (x86)/GraphPad/Prism 7/prism.exe"""'))
shell.exec("C:/Program Files (x86)/GraphPad/Prism 7/prism.exe")
does it work for you ?
ps. and shell.exec("MyWorkbook.xls") open file with default program

Systrace - error truncating /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter: No such device (19) unable to start

I am currently working on a project which aims to find out what the system is doing behind a series of user interaction on the android UI. For example, if user click send button in Facebook Messenger, the measured response time for such action is 1.2 seconds. My goal is to figure out what the 1.2 seconds consist of. My friend suggested that I should take a look into 'Systrace'.
However, when I tried systrace on my HTC one M8, I have encountered some problems:
First, error opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/overwrite - no such file or directory. I solved this problem by building up the support of the kernel following http://opensourceforu.com/2010/11/kernel-tracing-with-ftrace-part-1/ and mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug. Then I could find the tracing directory. Besides, I set ro.debuggable=1 in file default.prop within Ramdisk and burn the boot.img into my phone.
Now I encounter another problem: when I run - python systrace.py --time=10 -o mynewtrace.html sched gfx view wm, the following error(19) pop up: error truncating /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter: No such device (19). I don't know if the way my building up kernel support for systrace is incorrect or anything is missing.
Could anyone helps me out with this problem, please?
I think I have worked out the solution. My environment is Ubuntu 16.04 + HTC one M8. I will write the steps as followed:
open terminal and enter: $adb shell
(1) $su (2) $mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug. Now you should be able to see many directories under /sys/kernel/debug/. (You may cd into /sys/kernel/debug to confirm this)
New a new terminal and enter: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img to generate the boot.img kernel image from your device.
Use AndroidImageKitchen to unpack the boot.img and find the default.prop within Ramdisk folder. Then change ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1. Repack the boot.img and flash boot it to your device.
Once the device boot, under terminal, enter: adb root and message like: restarting adbd as root may pop up. Disconnect the USB and connect again.
cd to the systrace folder, e.g. ~/androidSDK/platform-tools/systrace and use:
python systrace.py --time=10 -o mynewtrace.html sched gfx view wm
Now you may able to generate your own systrace files.

Configuring Nexus 3 (3.0m7) to run as a Linux Service

Can anyone help me translate the instructions for setting this up as a Linux Service (at http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.0/reference/install.html#service-linux) into English?
After following them as best I could, I get the following when starting the service:
su: user / does not exist
Here are the parts of the instructions which were unclear:
In the bin/nexus script remove the line below.
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX="su - $run_as_user -c"
The line in the file is actually
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX=""
but ok, I can remove that. However, the next instruction is:
Replace the entire link with this line:
exec su - $run_as_user "$prg_dir/$progname" $#
What is meant by "the entire link"? The thing I removed above? That was the first line in the file - therefore the three variables above have not yet been set.... and is probably the reason the script currently fails.
I'll get the book fixed, it shouldn't have this in it anymore.
Download the 3.0 release, this was just a bug in 3.0m7, and it has been fixed. You don't need to make these changes.
https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/217965118
The only things you need to do is edit $NEXUS_HOME/bin/nexus.rc, uncomment the run_as_user line, and set the value for it appropriately. Then just symlink $NEXUS_HOME/bin/nexus to /etc/init.d/nexus, and after that run chkconfig or update-rc.d depending on your Linux version.

Installing an MSP using Powershell works on the local machine, fails remotely. Why?

I need some Powershell advice.
I need to install an application's MSP update file on multiple Win08r2 servers. If I run these commands locally, within the target machine's PS window, it does exactly what I want it to:
$command = 'msiexec.exe /p "c:\test\My Application Update 01.msp" REBOOTPROMPT=S /qb!'
invoke-wmimethod -path win32_process -name create -argumentlist $command
The file being executed is located on the target machine
If I remotely connect to the machine, and execute the two commands, it opens two x64 msiexec.exe process, and one msiexec.exe *32 process, and just sits there.
If I restart the server, it doesn't show that the update was installed, so I don't think it's a timing thing.
I've tried creating and remotely executing a PS1 file with the two lines, but that seems to do the same thing.
If anyone has advice on getting my MSP update installed remotely, I'd be all ears.
I think I've included all the information I have, but if something is missing, please ask questions, and I'll fill in any blanks.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My process for this is:
Read a CSV for server name and Administrator password
Create a credential with the password
Create a new session using the machine name and credential
Create a temporary folder to hold my update MSP file
Call a PS1 file that downloads the update file to the target server
>>> Creates a new System.Net.WebClient object
>>> Uses that web client object to download from the source to the location on the target server
Call another PS1 file that applies the patch that was just downloaded –>> This is where I’m having issues.
>>> Set the variable shown above
>>> Execute the file specified in the variable
Close the session to the target server
Move to the next server in the CSV…
If I open a PS window and manually set the variable, then execute it (as shown above in the two lines of code), it works fine. If I create a PS1 file on the target server, containing the same two lines of code, then right click > ‘Run With PowerShell’ it works as expected / desired. If I remotely execute my code in PowerGUI, it returns a block of text that looks like this, then just sits there. RDP’d into the server, the installer never launches. My understanding of the “Return Value” value is that “0″ means the command was successful.
PSComputerName : xx.xx.xx.xx
RunspaceId : bf6f4a39-2338-4996-b75b-bjf5ef01ecaa
PSShowComputerName : True

__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 2
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
ProcessId : 4808
ReturnValue : 0
I even added a line of code between the variable and the execution that creates a text file on the desktop, just to verify I was getting into my ‘executeFile’ file, and that text file does get created. It seems that it’s just not remotely executing my MSP.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Here's the strategy I used to embed an msp into a powershell script. It works perfectly for me.
$file = "z:\software\AcrobatUpdate.msp"
$silentArgs = "/passive"
$additionalInstallArgs = ""
Write-Debug "Running msiexec.exe /update $file $silentArgs"
$msiArgs = "/update `"$file`""
$msiArgs = "$msiArgs $silentArgs $additionalInstallArgs"
Start-Process -FilePath msiexec -ArgumentList $msiArgs -Wait
You probably don't need to use the variables if you don't want to, you could hardcode the values. I have this set up as a function to which I pass those arguments, but if this is more of a one-shot deal, it might be easier to hard-code the values.
Hope that helps!
using Start-Process for MSP package is not a good practice because some update package lockdown powershell libs and so you must use WMI call
