General Software Discussion / Re: Free Task Manager total resources for multiple instances?

And how are you running this script?  I don't think I've seen a powershell I've tried that ran as advertised.  There's always some gotcha'


 
But no need for PSv4, the above script even works in PSv2 and v3

One can test in launching PS as: powershell -version 2.0

And you can force a script to run a specific PS version

(Both above mentioned ways if required PS and .NET version is installed)



Code: C++ [Select]
  1. #Requires -version 2.0
  2. $host.version
  3. $myProcess = "TOTALCMD"
  4. $ProcessData = get-process $myProcess -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  5. if ($ProcessData -ne $null)
  6. {
  7.         $m = ps $myProcess | measure PM -Sum ; ("$myProcess Physical Memory {0:N2}MB " -f ($m.sum / 1mb))
  8.         $m = ps $myProcess | measure WS -Sum ; ("$myProcess Working Set {0:N0}MB " -f ($m.sum / 1mb))
  9. }
  10. read-host Done! Press Enter to exit...


 Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
4      0      -1     -1
TOTALCMD Physical Memory 20,09MB
TOTALCMD Working Set 37MB
Done! Press Enter to exit...:

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------

TOTALCMD Physical Memory 20,15MB
TOTALCMD Working Set 37MB
Done! Press Enter to exit...:
-Output

In the Other options in the help it says there can be a command to run before the copy starts.  I don't see where to specify it.  But since it is a move you could conceivably scan looking for collisions and do a rename on the target end and do the move.  Once those are all out of the way, assuming we figure out how to do the command, the regular copy process commences.  Since the source has already been deleted the collision should not recur.

It says on Technet I have to get W 8.1 to install PS 4.0 :down:
-MilesAhead (July 01, 2015, 05:45 AM)

Not according to this Technet page.

Windows PowerShell 4.0 runs on the following versions of Windows.
  • Windows 8.1, installed by default
  • Windows Server 2012 R2, installed by default
  • Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1, install Windows Management Framework 4.0 to run Windows PowerShell 4.0
  • Windows Server® 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1, install Windows Management Framework 4.0 to run Windows PowerShell 4.0
-4wd (July 01, 2015, 06:17 AM)

Nowhere in the list do I see Windows 8.0


I never like PS anyway.  :)

That's just the age old fear of the new and unknown talking  ;)

I don't think so.  I did bash sh and zsh scripting on Linux where there was some rhyme and reason involved.  :)

Anyone know how to get Windows 10 to update immediately? I've checked for updates and it often says "We found updates, we'll download them later."

Uh, no. Now is good for me, thanks. But I can't seem to find the option to force it to download now.

I'm on the fast ring, with "Delay Updates" disabled.

I would also ask here:

Lots of people with multiple machines running various preview builds installed both through update and ISO images.  Plus the Main Mod Brink has a tutorial for just about everything.  He may chime in.

-MilesAhead (June 30, 2015, 03:33 PM)

Given what @Cocoa has just gone through with my Powershell script here, it may pay to check what version you're running and update if necessary.

To check the version, open a Powershell and enter: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

You should get 4.0 if you're running the latest.
-4wd (July 01, 2015, 03:31 AM)

I get 3.0.-1.-1

I could write a program by the time I can figure out how to turn this thing on.  I guess that's why I've never used Powershell.  The enable command line never does.

To get the total memory of a multi-process you can use a little PowerShell script

There are not company identifiers.  It's not a company.  It's just personal sites that I've registered.
-wraith808 (June 30, 2015, 12:15 PM)

In that case I would agree with you.  Especially after having my free domain yanked without consulting me.  It is really a paranoid world these days.  If you subject your code to 57 virus scanners and get 2 red flags and 55 green ones, nobody says "you got 55 green flags out of 57."  They say "you got 2 red flags."  It's retahded as we used to say in Boston.  :)

I don't doubt they changed the name from Spartan to Edge just so they could use a morphed blue E.  After all, there were probably hundreds of variations of blue Es just lying around gathering dust.  :)

« Last post by MilesAhead on June 30, 2015, 11:53 AM »
In the WHOIS and web searches, my address does not come up, and neither does my name.  The privacy concern is the one that comes up.  The only way it is even associated is if you did not do so at the time of registration it hit the internet, so is saved if you know how to look for it, or if you, as you said, registered as a company, which is not my concern.
-wraith808 (June 30, 2015, 11:09 AM)

I understand. But I suggest searching with the regular search engines if there are any company identifiers on your site.  I guess the guys at ICCAN may be too lazy to use more than a whois search.  But once the state and name of your LLC are out there it is a matter of public record if anyone wants to take the time to look for it, the contact info of the manager/agent.  For a few dollars it may be worth it I suppose.

Living Room / Re: Save Domain Privacy
« Last post by MilesAhead on June 30, 2015, 10:15 AM »
I noticed this change too when I just registered a new domain.  I didn't shell out the extra bucks for the fake WHOIS info this time around.  Not only that but if you registered a company and you are the registered manager such as for an LLC, the stuff is coming up in web search anyway.  Anyone knows the name of the LLC then very likely the search engine is going to spit out your street address and phone number.

Yet another reason I stopped shelling out for company names just so I could shell out more to file annual reports.  I suppose if you have a company making real money you have to.  But people don't even have to go to the government web site to search out the LLC manager's contact info.  It just comes up.

Time to move to a gated community or dig a moat around the house.  :)

You can change control shift v to another hotkey

-kunkel321 (June 29, 2015, 10:15 AM)

The other tough thing is a free grammar checker that doesn't crash the editor you are using it in. I tried Ginger and a couple of others.  Nothing really amazed me.  It seemed the better the program handled the grammar the more unstable it was.  Trying to brush up with online lessons is discouraging.  So many exceptions and bizarre rules.  I don't remember it being that complex when I was in grammar school.  :)

I'm switching a friend on an older box over to Linux. Tired of trying to make W7 work speedily. I've got Puppy Bang on it now, and it's very impressive for speed. I might switch to Lubundu though, for the sake of a smoother ride.
-Paul1149 (June 29, 2015, 10:22 AM)

I'm not sure what distro I would use.  But it would be Debian based.  I always struggled installing programs back in the RedHat 6.x days.  When I got Mandrake 9.1 it made life so much easier.  Advanced Package Tool was an order of magnitude improvement on RPM. Perhaps not totally RPM's fault.  I think on the APT side there was much more agreement what directories stuff should go in.
