The immediacy of news medium today still amazes me and how quickly word travels around the world. Especially in the realm of IT security, we come across instances of system/network attacks (eg. DoS, etc.) where systems are brought to their "knees" but we don't really see un-intentional situations of this magnitude very often. This is mainly because of strategic monitoring, configuration, and load balancing performed by IT professionals. Yet, the Internet traffic spurred by this one news story can demand such resources that it causes major interruption and difficulties for large [technology based] companies such as AOL and Google - among others. Very interesting...<br /><br />http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/26/michael.jackson.internet/<br /><br />- Escape Technology Group, LLC<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5778992061929240282-6994482498239832851?l=escapetechnologygroup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07277960635570322864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778992061929240282.post-43795177135264084522009-06-09T22:14:00.003-04:002009-06-09T22:17:14.781-04:00The start command allows you to run DOS and Windows programs from a batch file. The "/w" switch allows the program to finish running before the next program starts running.<br /><br />For example, if you want to run scandisk before shutting down, you need the following batch file:<br /><br /> "@echo off start /w c:\windows\scandskw.exe /a /n start c:\windows\rundll32.exe c:\windows\system\shell32.dll, shexitwindowsex 1"<br /><br />Create a shortcut to your batch file, then click it when you want to shutdown.<br /><br />- Escape Technology Group, LLC<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5778992061929240282-4379517713526408452?l=escapetechnologygroup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07277960635570322864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778992061929240282.post-86805784839564635602009-05-24T00:02:00.005-04:002009-05-24T00:35:35.376-04:00This might seem like a silly trick or even a useless function, but I've found a use for it in the past and I'm sure that you'll be able to use it at some point.
