command line tool

[gelöscht]

Is it possible to use SuRun from a command line (for usage in the scripts for example), not from Explorer?

Kay

Yes it is.

Just run [m]"SuRun <program>"[/m] to start <program> as Administrator.

Additionally SuRun supports the following command line switches:
[m]/QUIET do not display an messages
/RUNAS <program> start <program> as different user
/RESTORE <file> restore "SuRun Settings" from <file>
/SETUP start "SuRun Settings"
/INSTALL Install SuRun unattended
/INSTALL <file> Install SuRun unattended and do "SuRun /RESTORE <file>"
/UNINSTALL remove SuRun from the system[/m]

Native support for console applications is already in the wish list but not done yet.

cheers,

Kay

Thank you for the answer. Could you please add this text (just paste it :) to the ReadMe.txt?
Also I see there is /RESTORE <file>, is there a corresponding /SAVE <file>?

Good idea! Also place the info into the PDF-docu, please.

Kay

"/BACKUP <file>" now is on the wish list.

The info is already in the german documentation.
I've put it to the english readme. :-)
Unfortunately there is no english documentation yet.

cosmo

Regarding the German docu: My fault, I did not check. Sorry for that.

I ran surun /RESTORE file.txt (file.txt was backed up from the gui, and one setting was changed), but after that I see the setting is not changed in GUI.

Kay

I want to dig that up: What setting was changed?

[gelöscht]

I changed UserTSA=2 to 0:

[User0]
Name=aa
IsLocalUser=1
NoRunSetup=1
RestrictApps=0
UserTSA=0
HideFromUser=0
ReqPw4Setup=0

Backup was done on the same PC. When I restore from command line gui still shows "Display user status in taskbar" checked for this user. If I restore using gui, it is changed properly ("Display user status in taskbar" becomes unchecked). I used full path for the file as I read in another post - surun /RESTORE "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\surun2"

Kay

I found the bug!

SuRun did not unquote the file name ("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\surun2").

Thanks for reporting! :-)

I fixed this internally.
The next Beta will contain the fix.
Until then just run surun /RESTORE C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\surun2 without any quotation marks.

Kay

Please try the latest SuRun beta.
