Delay .bat script

Windows is a strange thing, especially at startup. Things are just loading and loading:) Sometimes strange things happen if a program in startup folder starts before everything is loaded. There is simple way to delay your program to start with ping command.

Save bellow command to file and name give it an arbitrary name with bat extension. For example: run.bat

ping -w 1000 -n 10 localhost
D:\MyProgram.exe

 Create link to this file in windows startup folder and your program will start after it pings itself 10 times. Bellow I also copied explanation about ping command.

PING is used to test TCP/IP connectivity with another host and
gives information about the length of time test data takes to be sent to the
host and a reply received.
Its most basic use is as follows:

C:\ping IP address or hostname
Pinging 160.82.52.11 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 160.82.52.11: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=252
Reply from 160.82.52.11: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=252
Reply from 160.82.52.11: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=252
Reply from 160.82.52.11: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=252


From the above you can see it send 32 bytes to host 160.82.52.11 and each
time a reply was received in 10ms or less, this shows a good connection.
PING does have a number of option parameters to accomplish different
objectives.

In Windows 2000 you can press Ctrl-Break when running the -t option for a
list of statisitics. Press Ctrl-C to actually stop the ping.
It can be useful to have a small batch file ping various hosts and terminal
servers at regular intervals to ensure all are still present (although there
are commercial software packages that do this). A simple command like:

C:\ping -f -n 1 -l 1 148.32.43.23
Pinging 148.32.43.23 with 1 bytes of data:
Reply from 148.32.43.23: bytes=1 time<10ms TTL=128
pings a host once with one byte of data.

You should be aware that PING works by sending ICMP echo packets and some routers etc may filter
these out meaning a PING will not work.

Certificate conversions etc...

https://www.xolphin.com/support/Certificate_conversions/Convert_pfx_file_to_pem_file Convert pfx file to pem file Conversion to a combined PEM file To convert a PFX file to a PEM file that contains both the certificate and private key, the following command needs to be used: # openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -out cert.pem -nodes Conversion to separate PEM files We can extract the private key form a PFX to a PEM file with this command: # openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem Exporting the certificate only: # openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem Removing the password from the extracted private key: # openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key https://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/xmldsig-verifier.html https://www.cryptosys.net/sc14n/example-signed-xmldsig.html https://github.com/robrichards/xmlseclibs

Copy array from round buffer with memcopy()

Since I started to work with embedded systems I had to start thing about pointers... A subject foreign in my previews Java development. Bellow is a small spinet of my code to copy arrays with pointers. Also the use of some Microblaze functions use are shown... void BufferMemoryCopy ( void * dest , GPS_BUFFER * buff , u16 buff_offset , u32 size ) { // Microblaze -- typedef Xuint16 u16; u16 pos = ( buff -> Tail16 + buff_offset ) & GPS_FIFO_MASK ; // Fifo mast is used in roun buffer         if ( ( pos + size ) <= GPS_FIFO_SIZE ) {         memcpy ( dest , & buff -> Buffer [ pos ] , size ) ; } else { memcpy ( dest , & buff -> Buffer [ pos ] , GPS_FIFO_SIZE - pos ) ; memcpy ( dest   + ( GPS_FIFO_SIZE - pos ) , & buff -> Buffer [ 0 ] , size - ( GPS_FIFO_SIZE - pos ) ) ;
