[launch EXE files with pulseway]

hello, i just want to share my solution for this problem: often the parameter -i 1 will not work when your current user has a different interface ID, so when launching some programs, like PLEX Web Server for example the program will be launched with wrong settings/default settings instead of your current users settings. For some programs there are no difference but i found this problem for plex and others.

You can get the current ID with this command on powershell: query session and use it on the script/remote powershell every time or if you want here my solution

 

my solution, i hope can help someone

on pulseway script editor run as powershell this script :

cd\
cd "C:\myScriptRUN\PSTools"
.\id_plex.cmd

 

the script with this mod:

id_plex.cmd

for /f "tokens=4 delims= " %%G in ('tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ctfmon.exe" /NH') do SET RDP_SESSION=%%G
echo Current RDP Session ID: %RDP_SESSION%
cd\
cd "C:\myScriptRUN\PSTools"
.\psexec.exe -i %RDP_SESSION% -d -u YOURUSERNAME -p YOURPASSWORD "S:\....\plex.exe"

 

This script will get the current ID from a classic process cftfom.exe (for example) that is usually with the current ID of the user and than run psexec with that ID

Username and password are optional but I recommend them.

PS: yes the first time run /accepteula and follow the guide to add psexec for windows %path%

 

Also i will link my script (for windows), instead of running this script for every kind of program/path i will just run my own program with different parameter

so replace this .\psexec.exe -i %RDP_SESSION% -d -u YOURUSERNAME -p YOURPASSWORD "S:....\plex.exe" with : .\psexec.exe -i %RDP_SESSION% -d --u YOURUSERNAME -p YOURPASSWORD "S:\myREPO\pulseway\pulseway.exe" 1

Where : pulseway.exe is this script and 1 = your program, in my example 1 = plex, 2 = Team Viewer , 3 = etc..
