| 09:16 | <@mac> | Mahal: You do Windows sysadmin, right? I need a couple short scripts; I could write them easily in Bash, but I need it in CMD, or failing that Powershell. |
| 09:16 | <@mac> | Script 1: find every instance of firefox.exe which has '-contentproc' in its arguments and is uing >32MiB of memory, and kill it. Print the list of killed processes, including command line and memory used, and wait for me to hit a key before closing the command window. |
| 09:17 | <@mac> | Script 2: Same as script 1, except instead of witing for a key and exiting, it loops once per second until I kill it with Ctrl-C (or windows equiv.) |
| 09:44 | <@mac> | Would you be able to give me any advice? |

| 20:57 | < mac> | Mahal: TY! |
| 21:40 | < Mahal> | I'll be functional in about 20 minutes I reckon mac |
| 22:17 | | Kizor [a@Nightstar-nfsqa7.yok.fi] has joined #code |
| 22:34 | < mac> | Mahal: Alas, in 15 minutes, I need to leave for square dance. |
| 22:34 | < Mahal> | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/rUSPO8jR/ |
| 22:34 | < Mahal> | this'll get you started, then |
| 22:34 | < Mahal> | (it's option 1; just run it from an open Powershell window) |
| 22:34 | < Mahal> | (save it as a .ps1 file!) |
| 22:36 | < mac> | TY! |
| 22:37 | < Mahal> | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Arbtl7Qz/loopy%20version |
| 22:37 | < Mahal> | Loopy version is a really shit way - it's just doing until a condition that will never exist happens |
| 22:38 | < Mahal> | (so you'd have to kill it with ctrl c) |
| 22:38 | < Mahal> | There are MUCH MUCH better ways |
| 22:38 | < mac> | Mahal: Loopy version - I don't see a loop delay? |
| 22:39 | < Mahal> | -whistle- you do not |
| 22:39 | < Mahal> | you do *now* |
| 22:39 | < Mahal> | Also, your commandline is never going to fit on the screen |
| 22:40 | < Mahal> | so now it's wrapped |
| 22:40 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz] |
| 22:41 | < mac> | If I invoke this *not* from an existing Powershell window, will it close instantly after it finishes like CMD scripts do? |
| 22:41 | < Mahal> | Yes, because that's the entire point of how Powershell works |
| 22:41 | < Mahal> | I did point out this is a "get you started" point not a full solution |
| 22:41 | < mac> | Noted. |
| 22:42 | < Mahal> | you'd probably have to prompt for user input with read-host or somethign |
| 22:42 | < mac> | TY! |
| 22:42 | < Mahal> | (although frankly with the way _I_ usually need powershell if you need user input you're _doing it wrong_, and if you _do_ need user input then just run it from an open powershell window already?) |
| 22:43 | < mac> | The only user input I actually need is 'let me see what you did before the window closes'. |
| 22:44 | < Mahal> | then invoke it from an existing powershell window with .\"scriptname" -shrug- |
| 22:44 | < Mahal> | I mean, you have to run it somehow anyway |
| 22:46 | < mac> | I don't usually /have/ a powershell window open. This script is supposed to be my 'arg firefox is consuming 98% of my memory again' button. I'm probably going to bind it to an icon on the quick-access toolbar. |
| 22:47 | < Mahal> | Can vouch (have just tried) if you run this with Powershell (the loop version) it'll stay open |
| 22:47 | < Mahal> | after all, the loop intentionally has no end conditon :) |
| 22:48 | < mac> | Thanks again. Now I'm off to dan\ce. |
| 22:48 | | mac is now known as macdjord|Dance |
| 22:48 | < Mahal> | You won't be able to link directly to the scrpt; you'll need the shortcut to execute something like "powershell.exe "c:\scriptdir\script.ps1"" |
| 22:49 | < Mahal> | and probably set the executionpolicy in the shortcut to unrestricted, possibly...? |
