I wrote a small tool, what receives the uptime of an running process. Simply choose a PID of a process and enter it into the tool. This is possible trough input box or over a commandline call.

Debug Chooser – A tool to choose between multiple Debugger in the Taskmanager

Roland — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:30:44 +0000

The “Debug Chooser” is a tool primary developed to have multiple debugger applications/options in the taskmanager available.

What else can i told you about this tool. All options are configured trough an INI file, you can configure an application timeout, wich ends the debug chooser after a time period and launches the selected application. Its a tiny little application, what saves a lot of work if you have to work with multiple debugger. But it also runs stand alone as well and you mustn’t register it to AeDebug

Here is an sample how the debug chooser is called over the taskmanager.

Please feel free to download it, test it and post me some comments, or feature request for this tool.

Tool for setting default printers (on Users, local & remote computernames)

Roland — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:22:56 +0000

I know there are a lot of tools on the web for setting a default printer depending on different cases. But for me they were all to complex a little bit. I want it more easier and wrote my own SetDefaultPrinter tool wich tries to set a default printer, depending on a username or a local computername or a remote computername (if your users working in terminal server sessions and you have to set the default printer wich ich connected to a special local client).

My tool works as follows…. Just simply implement this tool during the logon process or where else you need it, and if it’s called, the tool parses the “sdp.ini” file. If there is a valid entry, then a set default printer call will be executed through the tool. It always follows the order: Local computer, remote computer and username. So the local computer is always the highest value in the hierachy.

Backup Tool for Cisco Devices

Roland — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 07:40:20 +0000

Because i have a lot to do with cisco network environments, i searched for a tool, wich i can use, to backup a amount of cisco network devices quick and easy through TFTP. But i didn’t find any good tool, wich provides this feature. After a lot of research work, i deceided to write my own “Cisco Device Backup Tool”.

The basics on my tool based on a simple theory. One unique username must be configured on all cisco devices, and an easy configurable .ini file wehre i can do the main configuration and backup settings.

For my tool i used the scripting language AutoIT Script. A powerful development kit where you easily can create GUI’s, fuctions and much more things. Since version 3.2.x AutoIt even supports commands to control the Windows TCP stack.

The function of my tool is very simple. It opens a TELNET (23, TCP) socket and connect to the remote device. After a successful logon, the application set off some commands onto the device, to trigger the backup process. This would be done 1:n times, as much devices are configured in the CDB Backup configuration file (bakconfig.ini).

See Cisco Device Backup in Action:

Here you can download a clean version (V1.3.0.6) of
Cisco Device Backup (cdb_setup_v13.exe, 349KB)

Please test my tool and leave some positive or less positive commects about my tool. – Have a good time!
