Hi all,

Now finally I have released version 1.3 that supports PCM API 3.0 Input controls
A whole new range of scripts can now be created and executed from within POTS.
Go and check it out http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/274-poweroftheshell-plugin-13/#entry1117

Please let me know if you have any questions for this build, or you experience any problems.

Thanks again for using my plugin.
Cheers

Or you can create a .reg file for the enabled and disabled file and call it from terminal like this:


regedit.exe /s path_to_your_reg_file or even better you can create batch scripts that contain the command and place them in your PATH variable (by default system32 and windows are included in path) then you can type: enablemaintenancemode.bat and disablemaintenancemode.bat

With PC Monitor the posibilities are endless

Paul.

Or, you could use the Powershell Plugin (Poweroftheshell) to change the registry.

Hi there

Is it possible to start the maintenance mode via the commandline? (e.g. PCMonitorManager.exe call with param).

My server performs a weekly reboot. I have a shutdown script which ends all services, task, etc. and a start script which starts them again after the reboot.

Now, i have to manually start the maintenance mode, wait until the reboot over night is done, and then end the maintenance mode manually again.

Is it possible that i can start the maintenance mode in my shutdown script, and exit maintenance mode in the start script?

Thanks for any hint :-)

Regards
Simon

Here are some app screenshots.

Hello,

This is commonly caused because someone or something kill the pcmontask process. Please check if the pcmontask is running and if it's not running then someone must have closed it. To prevent someone from closing it make a scheduled task that runs only on manual call and has an action to start the pcmontask. Then you can create a rule that will check if the process closes then fire the sceduled task, this will restart the process every time someone kills it and eventually the person will get bored.

Cheers.

I encourage all to advertise a little bit for PC monitor on e.g Facebook or linkedIn.

The more users, the bigger community we can build, and great ideas are shared.

Hi Support,

Firstly I have to say that I really love this program, it has really put a spotlight on efficiency and making day to day server support a breeze.
I also have to commend you on your ongoing commitment to the community in providing updates and improvements.

As for my feature request, is it possible to have a LOCAL UP ADDRESS added either before or after the EXTERNAL IP ADDRESS option.

At the moment I have to fire up the command prompt widget and hit an IPCONFIG to get the address.
A quick visual would help improve remote troubleshooting when getting users to ping servers and such.

Thanks again for the great work
Daniel

I am sorry but the API doesn't expose such feature, if you want I can add on the opened file details page an email button however this would work if:
I add email configuration to the plugin configuration form and you will have to configure it in order for it to work.
PC Monitor's API is getting changed to expose email sending methods.

I'm going to wait for a response from MMSoft to see what they think of this and I will post back with the results.

PS: Also if you would like to email to someone that is not pre-configured in the plugin's configuration form you will have to wait until API v3 will get released as it will include input boxes which will make it possible for you to write the email address you want to send.

Pulseway msi files support unattended installation.
 
Pulseway_xNN.msi /qn config=FFF configpassword=PPP
 
where:
FFF - The UNC path for the configuration file (required)
PPP - The password for the configuration file
 
or:
 
Pulseway_xNN.msi /qn username=UUU password=PPP group=GGG server=SSS

where:
UUU - account username (required)
PPP - account password (required)
GGG - group name (optional). If not specified it will be "Default"
SSS - dedicated server address - used only if you have a Pulseway Enterprise Server and it's required in this case.

AD Group Policy can now be used to install the software. After the installation the Pulseway service will start automatically and you will be able to see the computer in the computer list.

The next version will add support for Computer Configuration Policy - the Pulseway Agent will contact the server to read and assign the policy assigned for it's specific group or a general policy.

You could install the 'Power of the Shell' (POTS) plugin and write a Powershell script to tun the installer. However, you need to get at that machine to install POTS first. But then you installed PCM. Or, did you prep machine and then despatch it somewhere?

Additionally, you could use the terminal option within PCM and run the commands to install the software silently (no user prompts required).

Hi Paul,

Glad that you could use some of it

It's strange that you are having these issues then. I think when I created the two scripts I was on Windows 7, so they should defiently also work there(workstation), so properly also on Server 2008R2, which Nick123 also confirms this in his post.
http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/319-session-control-plugin/page__view__findpost__p__1389

Let me know if I can assist in anyway.

Hello Johnni,

My plugin is 98% based on the openSessions script from your plugin so I can tell you for sure that if something is not working on my plugin you will have the same problem with the script.

I am installing a SBS 2011 and 2008R2 right now to perform more testing.

Paul.

Hello ,

Session Control allows you to view active sessions on Windows server machines and their associated files. No commands are currently implemented but I have in plan on adding a few like (Close sessions, List Shares, Delete Share).

Please take your time and read the 'readme.txt' file as it explains everything you need to know about installing, using the plugin.

My release is open-source bound by no license. That being said you can freely modify, distribute, claim as your work, sell and / or include in your copyrighted material as long as it doesn't breach Pulseway's license or terms and conditions.

Download Link: PaulCsiki.SessionControl.zip. (Version 1.3).
Changes Since 1.2
Added support for Windows Server 2012+ Changes Since 1.1
Fixed a bug where newer operating systems would not be recognized. IP address that resolve to a hostname will now print out the hostname along with the IP address. Any feedback and plugin ideas will be appreciated.

Screenshots:

We are working on it

I am looking at making available delete files/directories using the Plugin PoweroftheShell (http://pulseway.com/downloads.php)

You may like to see my list of scripts released in v1 (http://workanywhere.dk/Download/ps1.pdf). v2 is on its way probably for this week-end, which takes the list of extra features for PCM to 110. v3 will be avlaiable once v3 of PCM api is available, which allows for user input. So in theory, my script could prompt you and ask which directory and contents do you want to delete, you enter then name and the script will delete it (no going back!!!)

great:) thanks Guys. Don't worry Johnni, Paul only beat you by a minute;)

Hi all,

Just released V1.2 of my plug-in. http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/274-poweroftheshell-plugin-10/page__view__findpost__p__1117
It now supports nested pages in the menu layout, please see documentation in the zip for more information on how to use this.
More information in log(trace) and on the clients themselves if the plugin is having an issue with e.g XML config or scripts.

The package contains like previously config examples ,but also now a script_pack is included with a pre-configured XML file ready to use all of them.
The XML file uses the nested layout to gather everything in one place, looks great.
Please have a look at the (readme-first) before you get started with this,

I could not have provided you this complete example, without all the help from digbyp.Thanks a lot for using my plugin.

Please, if you have any ideas to useful scripts or already uses some that we haven’t added yet, please submit them and I will add them in the next package.

Enjoy.

Hi Paul

If you look in the zip you will actually see that you have the release folder that includes a very simple XML with only one script to try out. If you know the plugin and want to go full Monty. Then you can just use the script pack with a lot of scripts to try out

Hi there,

Yes if go in PC Monitor Manager and select the Notification tab -> Status. The second to last entry is "Installed Software" Here you can select if you want a message if an application is installed or uninstalled.
