Command Prompt

If you have an antivirus program, you have that option when initializing that program to run. No reason to do it from the command prompt. The Command Prompt is only used when there are systems needed to be accessed for maintenance or system changes that need to be done within the "shell" of the OS.

command is sfc /scannow

I know three different ways of opening command prompt and at least one of them should work. 1. Click the Start button and then click run. In run, type "cmd" 2. Click the Start button and then click search. Click all files and folders and then type in one of the boxes "command prompt" or just "command". After that it will search for it and when it finds it just open it 3. Open Notepad or Wordpad and in it, type "command.com". Then go to file and click "Save as" In save as, save it on your desktop as a .bat file Example "command.bat" (without the quotations) And remember in file type to click ALL FILES Also if you want to find if you have Notepad or Wordpad you can just go back to search and type in Notepad or wordpad and you'll find it

The Java executable comes with a showversion flag, so typing:

java -showversion

Will display something like:

java version "1.6.0_16"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)

Note: This seems to be bugged on my machine. After printing out the above information, it also prints out the rest of the command line switches. If this happens to you, you may have to scroll up to see the important information.

run cmd as administrator

click start, type cmd in the "run" or "search" dialog box.

Right-click the "C:\ Cmd" icon and click "Run as administrator"

Yes. cmd.exe will allow you to execute shell commands and scripts, although you should consider using the newer Powershell instead if your version of Windows supports it.

To be prompt means to be according to schedule or delay. It means to be on time.

After reading the prompt, decide what information is missing and fill in the chart below.

Somebody wanted... (a want/need)

But... (Conflict)

So... (what they are doing to fix the conflict)

Then... (what they are doing to fix the conflict)

Finally... (How it gets resolved)

In the end... (extended ending/ learning)

After filling in the chart, use the information to create a detailed narrative with beginning, middle and ending paragraphs.

Shell scripting is scripting that uses the Windows Script Host shell.

While the above answer may be true for Windows based systems, for Unix and Unix-like systems shell scripting is the ability to create a file of commands and to have them executed automatically, including unattended operation. It is used in the cases where one wishes to automate a process with a given series of commands to be used many times.

Shell scripting allows one to automate processes, thereby reducing errors and misspellings by putting the commands in a file and telling the system to execute the commands.

No!

You use a greater than symbol after the command, then a filename after that symbol to specify the file path for the redirected output. (e.g. cmdline-program.exe > redir-output.txt).

A wildcard character is a character that can stand in for any other character.
On the command line, the normal wildcards are * (match zero or more characters) and ? (match exactly one character).

You use them for example when listing or selecting files, like the command
c:\>dir t*
would list all files in that directory with a name starting with "t".
