Turning on Wifi for Windows using Command line

The configuration on my notebook in the office automatically disables my wifi when I connect to our network by cable. On several occasions, the wifi dos not turn back on after I remove my PC from the docking station. I was also unable to find anything in the control panel on Windows 7 to help me do this, luckily, I found the solution from this article. The solution is shown below. An alternative way would be to right click on the network icon and click on troubleshoot problem.

Using netsh command

Get the Interface Name:

netsh interface show interface

Enable the interface:

netsh interface set interface "Interface Name" enabled

To complete the solution to your problem, you could create a shortcut, and make it run on the startup of Windows. For example, if the name of your wireless adapter in netsh is Wi-Fi, the shortcut would look like this (one line):

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:administrator "C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe interface set interface \"Wi-Fi\" enabled"

The runas command ensures that the command is ran as administrator, which is required to bring the interface up or down. The /savecred switch will save the credentials, which might be asked the first time, but usually not after that.

Using wmc command

wmic nic get name, index

Enable NIC with index number: (eg: 7)

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call enable

Disable NIC with index number: (eg: 7)

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call disable

Limiting GApp search to a folder

Found this trick in a discussion on the topic. This is a feature lacking in the new search operator.

1. Click on folder so you are only viewing within the folder you want to search
2. The URL in your browser location bar will change to something like:
   https://drive.google.com/?ui=4&authuser=0#folders/0B6AzksONG.....
3. Copy the text from the URL which comes after "folders/"
4. Insert that text instead of THELONGFOLDERID into the following URL string:
   https://drive.google.com/?ui=4&authuser=0#advanced-search/q=dummy&view=2&parent=THELONGFOLDERID
5. When you go to the URL you have just constructed, you can then use the search box to search inside that folder --- for convenience, I suggest you bookmark the URL if you do such searches often

In the example above, the url will become:

https://drive.google.com/?ui=4&authuser=0#advanced-search/q=dummy&view=2&parent=0B6AzksONG.....

I tested it using Chrome and it works and TheMathGuy used Firefox so it works for both browsers.

Java Script to Produce Proper Capitalization

The code is as follow:

/*
* Title Caps

*/
(function(){
var small = "(a|an|and|as|at|but|by|en|for|if|in|of|on|or|the|to|v[.]?|via|vs[.]?)";
var punct = "([!\"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\\\\\\]^_`{|}~-]*)";
this.titleCaps = function(title){
var parts = [], split = /[:.;?!] |(?: |^)["Ò]/g, index = 0;
while (true) {
var m = split.exec(title);
parts.push( title.substring(index, m ? m.index : title.length)
.replace(/\b([A-Za-z][a-z.'Õ]*)\b/g, function(all){
return /[A-Za-z]\.[A-Za-z]/.test(all) ? all : upper(all);
})
.replace(RegExp("\\b" + small + "\\b", "ig"), lower)
.replace(RegExp("^" + punct + small + "\\b", "ig"), function(all, punct, word){
return punct + upper(word);
})
.replace(RegExp("\\b" + small + punct + "$", "ig"), upper));
index = split.lastIndex;
if ( m ) parts.push( m[0] );
else break;
}
return parts.join("").replace(/ V(s?)\. /ig, " v$1. ")
.replace(/(['Õ])S\b/ig, "$1s")
.replace(/\b(AT&T|Q&A)\b/ig, function(all){
return all.toUpperCase();
});
};
function lower(word){
return word.toLowerCase();
}
function upper(word){
return word.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + word.substr(1);
}
})();

Code is taken from:

http://ejohn.org/blog/title-capitalization-in-javascript/

In order to get use the above, create a file and place the following code and save it. You can then run it locally to automatically show you the proper capitalization of the title. Just key in the title in the text box and click the submit button, it will then display the result above. Note that the script does not work in IE, it works in Chrome and Firefox.

JDBC Connection String to Use LDAP

If LDAP allows anonymous.

String ldapHost    = "ldap-server:389";
String context     = ",dc=nl,dc=abnamro,dc=com";
 
String serviceName = "mts-a-de-grid";
String user        = "aldo";
String pass        = "aldo";
String url         = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://" + ldapHost + "/" + instance + ldap_context;
 
OracleDataSource o = new OracleDataSource();
 
o.setUser(user);
o.setPassword(password);
o.setURL(url);
 
Connection conn = o.getConnection();

If authentication is required:

String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://ldap-server:389/CN=Admin,O=COHERIS,C=FR";
 
 
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("java.naming.security.authentication", "simple");
prop.put("java.naming.security.principal","CN=Admin,O=COHERIS,C=FR");
prop.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "password");
 
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL(url);
ods.setConnectionProperties(prop);

sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440

If you encounter the following error, it is likely because you ran the su command while your current folder is /etc and the sudo is in the same folder.

Retrieving JDBC version information

The following is how you can retrieve the jdbc version:

import oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection;

import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData;

import java.util.Properties;

 

 

public class JDBCVersionInfo {

   

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {

      // Set up user connection properties

      Properties prop = new Properties();

      prop.setProperty("user","hr");

      prop.setProperty("password","password");

       

      // open the connection

      OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();

      ods.setConnectionProperties(prop);

      ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@//prod:1521/proddb");

      OracleConnection ocon = (OracleConnection)ods.getConnection();

       

      DatabaseMetaData dbmd = ocon.getMetaData();

       

      System.out.println("Driver Name: " + dbmd.getDriverName());

      System.out.println("Driver Version: " + dbmd.getDriverVersion());

     

       

    } catch(SQLException e) {

      System.out.println(e.getMessage());

    }

  }

}
