batch file logging windows 7 home how to question

[snowcatman]

I have windows 7 home. As admin I did a ver. in the cmd.exe, results were "Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]"

I am making a patch file that changes your logon wallpaper. What can I say. I want to learn how.

The question is! How do I log whats going on it the patch file?

Whats happening is a cmd window opens up and just sit's there doing nothing. The files output.txt and error.txt are made put there is nothing in them. Eventually I just x out of the window.

Here is the code I am using so far. Or what mess I have made so far. Its a work in progress. 

I am using "resource hacker [version 3.6.0.92] by angus johnson"
i have a picture file that meets microsoft's requirments

once i see i have my thoughts about me i was going to make a cleaned up version of the batch. but i see that i am just learning and doing it over again better. i hope. thank  you.

[Salmon Trout]

patch NEQ batch.

[Salmon Trout]

defualt batch script.bat>>log.log

What is that line supposed to do?

[snowcatman]

logonwallpaper.bat 1> output.txt 2> error.txt
or
defualt batch script.bat>>log.log
is me flirting with the commands to log to file of the batch files
like in this link
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/22253-how-to-log-the-results-of-a-dos-batch-file/
i am learning here and if i get this right  ">"  clears and logs to a file and  ">>"  appends to a file.

but my first post is not doing anything and i was wondering what i was doing wrong.
and my second post is not leaving anything to my log files. so i am in hopes that someone can tell me what simple step i am missing.
thank you

defualt.batch.script.bat>>log.log
i did do this to see if the spaces were the problem but no changes happened. still no info in the log

[foxidrive]

Code: [Select]

@ECHO OFF
logonwallpaper.bat 1> output.txt 2> error.txt
Is this batch file above called logonwallpaper.bat

If so then the 2nd line in the code will launch the same batch file again and again, and never stop.  Nothing will happen.

If logonwallpaper.bat is a different batch file, then it will launch and none of the code below that line will run, because CALL is needed to launch
a batch file, so it then returns control to the original code.

[snowcatman]

Thank you fox drive.

so if i dont want to use another file to log this one what do i do?
1> output.txt 2> error.txt
do i just forget the name of the file and run this?
How do i log the file i am using i wonder? without creating another...

[foxidrive]

To log an entire batch file you use this at the command line or in a separate batch file:

Code: [Select]

logonwallpaper.bat 1>output.txt 2> error.txt
The 1 is optional.

But this will also remove any text that you want to see, and if you have an input command in the batch file then it is not the right way to log it.
You use the technique above when the batch file is not interactive.

To get around that you can use a tee filter
Here is one in a separate batch file and you can use it like this: 

Code: [Select]

logonwallpaper.bat | batchtee logfile.txt

Read the limitations in the batch code below, and there are other tee filters for modern Windows like Swiss File Knife on Sourceforge.

Code: [Select]

::batchTee.bat  OutputFile  [+]
::
::  Write each line of stdin to both stdout and outputFile.
::  The default behavior is to overwrite any existing outputFile.
::  If the 2nd argument is + then the content is appended to any existing
::  outputFile.
::
::  Limitations:
::
::  1) Lines are limited to ~1000 bytes. The exact maximum line length varies
::     depending on the line number. The SET /P command is limited to reading
::     1021 bytes per line, and each line is prefixed with the line number when
::     it is read.
::
::  2) Trailing control characters are stripped from each line.
::
::  3) Lines will not appear on the console until a newline is issued, or
::     when the input is exhaused. This can be a problem if the left side of
::     the pipe issues a prompt and then waits for user input on the same line.
::     The prompt will not appear until after the input is provided.

ok i uncled a little and made a test.batch with: defualt.batch.script.bat 1> output.txt 2> error.txt

but it did not bring up the second cmd window. and the log file did show my echo's so now i must have a cmd window in the background just sitting waiting for input or not.

As you can tell this is an interactive script. so i was hoping that i could just log it. but so far it seems i have yet to learn what i need at this time, logging. i have pieced this together this. test.bat
       cmd /k %~dp0\defualt.batch.script.bat 1>> output.txt 2>> error.txt   ~~~ just sat there too. did append to log files first echos in my script.

so do i append  of a command every time? do i have to do this with multiple files or is there a way to do it from the first batch file i am using interactively?

log after command
echo test>>log.log 2>&1
mycmd 2>&1 | othercmd
or
log one batch with another batch file "a" runs batch file "b"
cmd /k %~dp0\defualt.batch.script.bat 1>> output.txt 2>> error.txt
or
is there a way to do it from batch file "a" altogether interactively?


==================================================
thank you "foxidrive" i think you set me in the right direction if not answered my question.
i ran a test of what you posted and just to see what i could see.
the error log seem to put what was echoed, but very little on the errors. again my learning curve gets in the way. i have been piecing this together. not going to claim it as my own put will say i was learning and this is what i came up with along the way. i guess i want to understand what i am seeing. is there a way to see the errors to. i understand you mentioned there are limitations..
looking and reading what you posted still. forgive my rudeness please.

[foxidrive]

One of the most useful things you can learn is that long filenames with spaces etc can be wrapped in double quotes, and that is how they are used.

As an example in your code you use this, and your batch file will fail if you launch in in a folder with spaces, or where there are any folders below it with spaces.  Or & characters.

Code: [Select]

%~dp0\reshacker
but if you use double quotes around the path\filenames then it will always work correctly.

Code: [Select]

"%~dp0\ResHacker.exe"
As for logging individual lines, you can use this, assuming your commands are correct: note all the double quotes.

Code: [Select]

2>>"error.log" "%~dp0\ResHacker.exe" -addoverwrite "%~dp0\temp\imageres.dll", "%~dp0\temp\imageres1.dll", "%~dp0\cat.jpg", image, 5031,
2>>"error.log' xcopy "%~dp0\temp\imageres1.dll" "%~dp0\temp\imageres.dll" /c /y /h

In that way you allow regular text to appear on the console and error messages will appear in the error.log file. 
Note that double quotes can be used on short filenames as well, so you never have to think about where they should be used, you can always use them.

Another thing that Salmon Trout brought up - these are not called a patch file, they are called a Batch file.  It is essentially a batch of commands.

[snowcatman]

your one step ahead of me. thank you. "foxidrive"
ok you posted before me. np. i will make those changes will take some time. I catch myself in a lot of spelling mistakes. yes i use patch and batch wrong. thank you for pointing that out. "Salmon Trout"
i will repost this when i am done and after a test drive thank you.

Think if i talk about the rest of my code i might need to start another post.
I have been cleaning it up.
but just for the record. i get to a certain point all seems to stop no error code just what was last echoed. the log shows no error.

:: THIS IS RATHER LONG...
:: In a external usb hard drive I have a folder
:: I have windows 7 home. As owner admin I did a ver. in the cmd.exe, results were "Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]"
::A picture that meets windows requirements in said folder
:: I am using "resource hacker [version 3.6.0.92] by angus johnson" in said folder
:: using the script provided "batchTee.bat" in said folder.  thank you "foxidrive" i omitted reposting that file for you already posted it. there were no changes to name or content. a shorter post this way. feel like i am righting a book. smiles

IF /I '%INPUT%'=='1'

How many cases can a number have?

[snowcatman]

i expect or assume that if a file already exist's it get's overwritten imageres.dll.old

cls
echo Make back up of imageres.dll
2>>"error.log" "xcopy" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll.old" /c /y /h | echo make backup copy attempted
ECHO.
echo press anykey
PAUSE > NUL

when in xcopy it freezes and in copy it closes the cmd window.
when look at the log i get this:
nothing for xcopy, but the with copy i get this---
['"copy"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.]
my fault i should have know better.
thank you i see the error batch logging starting to work.

[snowcatman]

ok fixed my own stuff 

cls
echo Make back up of imageres.dll
2>>"error.log" copy "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll.old" /c /y /h | echo make backup copy attempted
ECHO.
echo press anykey
PAUSE > NUL

do you see what i did. xcopy will ask if it is a file or folder. copy already thinks it a file

[foxidrive]

Salmon Trout pointed this style of line out:

Code: [Select]

IF /I '%INPUT%'=='1'
and it is wiser to use double quotes as below so that a blank enter, or a space, will not break the input checking.  The /I is not needed for numerals, but it won't hurt either.

Code: [Select]

IF /I "%INPUT%"=="1"
You have many instances of %~dp0\filename  which also need double quotes to make the batch file robust.  Even the lone %~dp0\ needs double quotes, see examples below:

Code: [Select]

"%~dp0\filename"
"%~dp0\"

In a number of places you are piping through an echo command, and that isn't usual practice.

copy %windir%\system32\imageres.dll %~dp0\ | echo attempted copy imageres file to this folder

The line above is usually written in this style: where the >nul eliminates the normal text to the screen and you can add
the 2>>"error.log" if you want to log any error messages.  Note the double quotes.

Code: [Select]

copy "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" "%~dp0\" >nul
echo attempted copy imageres file to this folder


[snowcatman]

I have changed a view things.

still i am thinking, can i join or have  1>>  2>>  together to log some lines?

this is what i have so far. i am still fine tuning. your still ahead of me.
got to think about were to put the ">nul" now will keep reading over what you post.

Thank You both, foxidrive and Salmon Trout

this is where i am at so far...

[foxidrive]

This is causing a lot of your error messages. 

Code: [Select]

set path=%~dp0\
I didn't check why you were using path as a variable name but if you want to add a directory to the path statement then use this:

Code: [Select]

set path=%path%;%~dp0
Otherwise, never use path as a normal variable name.

can i join or have  1>>  2>>  together to log some lines?

You can add this to redirect all output to a file.  It redirects the STDOUT stream where normal text goes and then redirects the STDERR stream to the same place that STDOUT is going.

You can add this to the start or the end of a line.  If placed at the end then ensure a space is before the first >>

Code: [Select]

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1


1=STDOUT (standard out)
2=STDERR (standard error)

[snowcatman]

just to be clear this would work?

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 command "file"
2>&1 >>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" command "file"

because its opening notepad and showing the previous errors.

[foxidrive]

Both these will work - but include a line at the top to delete the log file before it uses it again:  del "%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>nul

Code: [Select]

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 command "file"

command "file" >>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1

[snowcatman]

um, i found a major mistake of mine i had doubled my effort to have the log path down. it was opening up the notepad and i was ready to say it not working. but now i am dealing with the cmd window opening up briefly. will go at this tomorrow

these are the first two log me commands i used this way
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1  if not exist "%~dp0\temp" mkdir "%~dp0\temp" >nul

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 "%windir%\System32\reg.exe" ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f >nul

[foxidrive]

The first one doesn't need logging - try the second one in a command line by itself to see if it works.

I did see that you seem to be trying to disable UAC and that hasn't been possible by command line to date. 
There is no way to programmatically disable UAC at this point in time.

Code: [Select]

if not exist "%~dp0\temp" mkdir "%~dp0\temp"

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 "%windir%\System32\reg.exe" ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f


[snowcatman]

good morning. um, when it comes to the UAC i just want it to stop messing with the imageres.dll file long enough for me to to modify it and replace it. i found it helpful. to simple to change it's registry.
if i wanted i could have the user reboot several times to make the change have more of an impact. but did not see a reason way i should.

this script is already looking better. thank's to all your help, "foxidrive" and "Salmon Trout"

I am still seeing errors in console and not in the errors log. a good example would be the "killing of processes".

information you did not have is i am using a virtual box to test this in.

I added the two pause commands and when they appear check "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" to see what attributes it has, and if it is being deleted.

Code: [Select]

cls
Echo Delete imagers file in system folder
1>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" echo delete system imageres.dll file
2>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" %windir%\system32\attrib -r -s -h "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll"
pause
echo attrib changed attempted
2>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" del /q /f "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll"
pause
echo imageres.ddl delete attempted in the system folder
ECHO.

[snowcatman]

ok there were no errors but something is still amiss because i see the rest of the script going really fast. like  its missing the imageres file.
plus i see error in the console instead of the error log. i don't mind seeing them in the console but would like to see them in the error log too.

i guess its just looking better. it's getting harder to tell whats going on in there too.

i have been wrecking my brain on how to deal with this one file. it plague me. its like windows makes use of this file in a multitude of ways. imageres.dll has icons and a sound file as well as wallpaper it . i seen some programming too. i think what i am going to have to do is start windows in dos mode and run the batch file. maybe it will work then. don't know

[foxidrive]

There's a command line tool here to change wallpaper.

http://sg20.com/techblog/2011/06/23/wallpaper-changer-command-line-utility/

[snowcatman]

Good morning.
Thank you for that link foxidrive

not chewing you out. this just fyi. thank you.
din't know if you noticed. but this is not the wallpaper on you work space that i am changing. it's the wallpaper on your "logon screen" that i am changing. windows does not provide a user friendly way to change this. If at all. I know there is programming out there already that does this. I am just am trying to learn how to do it. so to learn and leave steps or notes on how to do it. For the fun of it.

for the most part it works. i just keep finding the errors in a batch script and want to clean it up.
the problem is a user is going to use this multiple times. and windows seems to use that file "imageres.dll" in multitude of way's.
hence my problem. the "imageres.dll" gets locked up easily. from permissions to uac to attributes, file in use, etc

keeping on topic.
--------------------------------------------------------

1>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" command file >nul  ---> works well
2>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" command file >nul  ---> works well
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 command file >nul  ---> works well

the problem notice here is "cls" gets modified and the screen just allowed to scroll up. nice but not very friendly.

To log an entire batch file you use this at the command line or in a separate batch file:

Code: [Select]

logonwallpaper.bat 1>output.txt 2> error.txt
The 1 is optional.

But this will also remove any text that you want to see, and if you have an input command in the batch file then it is not the right way to log it.
You use the technique above when the batch file is not interactive.

To get around that you can use a tee filter
Here is one in a separate batch file and you can use it like this: 

Code: [Select]

logonwallpaper.bat | batchtee logfile.txt

Read the limitations in the batch code below, and there are other tee filters for modern Windows like Swiss File Knife on Sourceforge.

Code: [Select]

::batchTee.bat  OutputFile  [+]
::
::  Write each line of stdin to both stdout and outputFile.
::  The default behavior is to overwrite any existing outputFile.
::  If the 2nd argument is + then the content is appended to any existing
::  outputFile.
::
::  Limitations:
::
::  1) Lines are limited to ~1000 bytes. The exact maximum line length varies
::     depending on the line number. The SET /P command is limited to reading
::     1021 bytes per line, and each line is prefixed with the line number when
::     it is read.
::
::  2) Trailing control characters are stripped from each line.
::
::  3) Lines will not appear on the console until a newline is issued, or
::     when the input is exhaused. This can be a problem if the left side of
::     the pipe issues a prompt and then waits for user input on the same line.
::     The prompt will not appear until after the input is provided.
::

i am looking at the different ways to log the errors and want to see how to fix my issues.

you have been a asset and thank you for your help. i don't know all there is to know put am putting the effort into learning what i can. thank you for your patience.

Hope i put enough info out for review and not to much. again thank you.

i think in order to slow down this script i need to switch to if then statements and do something about check the file states. just a thought.

[snowcatman]

thinking about just not deleting the imageres.dll. causes too may issues. instead i will considerate on replacing it.

[snowcatman]

ok i seen something that makes cents to me now. kinda went way over my head...

1>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" command file >nul
Works well, ya it worked but you are not going to get a much of message in your error.log.

1>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" command file                     <-----note no >null
Ok this works too. but now you will see the STDOUT and STDERR messages in your log file.

1>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log"            notice no comand file or >nul
I also noticed if you don't complete you line then you break your cmd the window closes.

[Squashman]

Seems like it would be a lot easier to do this. You could script this as well but  you would still get UAC prompts.

Thank you for that link. I see the instructions all over the place. but i found that it does not seem to be that easy. not all windows 7 home threw ultimate are alike. thank the venders( hp, dell, etc ) maybe even windows microsoft. you make these settings and even on a reboot or hard boot nothing happens. not always anyway.
i hear some are successful. not me i am not one of them.

so i did a little more digging and found out were the main files are located and one stuck out like a sore thumb. imageres.dll. also in the imageres.dll file is were you can change the wallpaper, start-up sound that is unavailable, and most if not all the icons windows uses. there is even some programming in there, i have yet to figure out. guess its a matter of time before i figure it out.

i am just learning batch and "logging" while honing in on how to change that wallpaper for the logon.

thank you for your info and time.

[foxidrive]

din't know if you noticed. but this is not the wallpaper on you work space that i am changing. it's the wallpaper on your "logon screen" that i am changing.

Oops. No, I didn't notice at all.  Mea Culpa.

From Squashmans's link there is this, which may apply to your case too.

Two other things to keep in mind: First, the actual file size of backgroundDefault.jpg cannot exceed 256 KB. Second, you'll want to use an image whose dimensions match the screen resolution that you are using. If you use a file whose dimensions are smaller, the image will be stretched and may appear distorted.

[snowcatman]

foxidrive   

Thank you for pointing that out.

I already knew this information.

i should have stated it in a clearer way earlier.

again Thank You.

P.S. there are plan's in the iron work down the road that will address and implement all the different screen resolutions. that are in the imageres.dll file. again thank you..

Back to how:    batch file logging windows 7 home how to question
================================================

all this in owner administrator

i find in my log:
script piece used:
 >>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1" copy "imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" /y
error --> The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

when i go to a cmd: access using admin rights
copy "imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" /y
error --> Access is denied

in the consel: batch ran with admin right
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1" copy "imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" /y
I don't see any error!

anyone have anymore about logging while i look at way i am getting these errors.
thank you for you time and effort in advanced.


here is what i have changed so far. i change a few thing and did a little more orginizing. really not too much of a change

FOR THOSE JUST LEARNING THIS MAY BE HELPFUL TOO YOU
O'k here
I stumbled onto something in my learning's. Thought I would share with the world right here

Yes in my head account's, and thoughts.. sorry I am a bad speller!

Here I am looking and wondering why I keep getting errors I log and set my path and yet it's
like I am not making the right commands or something!
so I go back and am trying to pick up on anything that might make cents.

why did I need to set path? I just over looked this and thought well if I set it then I am working in it. right?
Wrong!!!
i did a
set path=%~dp0\
and foxidrive set me strait.
set path=%path%;%~dp0
but i don't think i made myself very clear that i was running this in owner administrator and useing cmd in administrator mode.
idk maybe i did... but here is what i put together

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 set path=%path%;%~dp0
nothing is in the log about it ether

then i do something like this, put remember i am not getting what i am expecting so i am going the extra mile.

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1  copy "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll_%date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-10,2%%time:~-11,2%%time:~-8,2%.old"

or

>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1  copy "%windir%\system32\imageres.dll" "%~dp0\"

do you see what i am doing. i am being very specific were i want my files. why are you doing that snowcatman?

well thank you foxidrive? for teaching me about logging. i keeped wondering why i keeped getting errors. and so i keeped adding more logging. then i wanted too. i keep trying to be more exact and trying to get it right.

so i keeped going back and looking at all the code in the batch file. looking at this site and low and behold i am searching google too.

not thinking common cents. sorry the Oakey in me. lol

So I finally did a search with these words: "batch file default directory". thinking i must be reschooled right? I was thinking what is my directory and so earlier i was doing this too.

@rem----------idea know my path--------------------
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 echo path is %cd%
@rem-----------------------------------------------

and in the log i find this. and with this information it hit me harder then someone throwing a rock my way, hitting a tin roof.
the light had finally lit.

path is C:\Windows\system32

why was i seeing this all the time. i know i set my path right?
and that web page i stumbled on:

http://shortfastcode.blogspot.com/2012/07/running-bat-file-as-administrator.html

now i know there is a link from this site that must say the same thing. but i was just doing my ussual search find and ask questions later thing.

so when starting my script i need to:

@SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
 @cd /d "%~dp0"

so to learn the birds and the bee's of batch scripting bun intended. lol

this is the first little chunk of my script. added the lines after i did a quick check from my dos mode script

@rem logonwallpaper.bat
@ECHO OFF
@SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
@cd /d "%~dp0"
@rem----------idea know my path--------------------
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 echo  path is %cd%
@rem-----------------------------------------------
set path=%path%;%~dp0
>>"%~dp0\temp\error.log" 2>&1 echo path is %cd%

i can now show you the differences of my logging and what in pack of adding those few commands to the beginning of my script did
