Does anyone know how to run a .cmd script from VA Smalltalk with admin privileges?

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to run a .cmd script from VA Smalltalk with admin privileges? I know how to run command files but I need to run one with privileges. I expect there is some structure I need to fill in and I'm looking but I will gladly take some help.

Lou

Hi Louis

try to logon as administrator using an OSCall, run the script and logoff / "revert to self".

We use this to start / stop / restart a Windows service like SNMP

OSCall>>#logonUser:lpszDomain:lpszPassword:dwLogonType:dwLogonProvider:phToken:

"LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT50 = 3
LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS = 9"

OSCall>>#revertToSelf

Hi Norbert,

Thanks for the post and sorry for the noise. The service had admin privileges and they flowed down to the command file. The problem had nothing to do with privileges, it just looked that way.

the simplest way could be

OSHwnd getActiveWindow

shellExecute: 'runas'

lpFile: 'cmd.exe'

lpParameters: nil

lpDirectory: nil

nShowCmd: PlatformConstants::SwShownormal

but, ask google about shellexecute and shellexecuteex. A link to a solution for another lang: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15319158/use-shell-execute-to-run-cmd-as-admin
