more than fifty ‘first person shooters’ commit suicide, undermining not just the object of the game but also alluding to charged connotations around suicide (attacks).

We are developing a Grails application. Maven for build. We use continuum and Jenkins (Hudson) for continous integration (CI). When we install/uninstall a new Grails plugin, grails prompts a question, something like,

“Do you want to update the plugin/Do you want to remove the plugin?”

When this happens on a CI, because we cannot answer the questions, build never completes.

Solution:

It turned out that Grails-Maven plugin has a non-interactive option. Turn that on in your pom.xml.

Here is a sample,

 <plugin>
  <groupId>org.grails</groupId>
  <artifactId>grails-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${grails.version}</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
      <nonInteractive>true</nonInteractive>
    </configuration>
  <executions>
   <execution>
    <goals>
     <goal>init</goal>
      ....
     <goal>maven-functional-test</goal>
    </goals>
   </execution>
  </executions>
 </plugin>

You can also enable script extension debug logging if you are using GP-based logon scripts and not legacy NT4 logon script processing:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
GPTextDebugLevel = 30002

IIS environment variables.

I’ve no idea if this is useful, but I’ve found that for every service, there is an option to add environment variables directly to a service.

It is done via the registry.

Say the key to your service is …

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\YourService

Create a REG_MULTI_SZ called Environment.

Now you can add entries like …

Var1=Value1
Var2=Value2

Sometimes, you need to put a non-interactive passwords using scripts, as you can see, you can’t use passwd tool, because it only works using interactive way.

On Debian, and of course lot of distros, you can use chpasswd instead (create, update & modify)

From chpasswd manual:

chpasswd reads a list of user name and password pairs from standard input and uses this information to update a group of existing users, so you can update passwords in batch mode.

echo “user:pass” | chpasswd
