You can use the ROBOCOPY command. It is very simple and can also be used to delete empty folders inside large hierarchy. ROBOCOPY folder1 folder1 /S /MOVE Here both source and destination are folder1, as you only need to delete empty folders, instead of moving other(required) files to different folder. /S option is to skip … Read more
Shutdown hooks execute in all cases where the VM is not forcibly killed. So, if you were to issue a “standard” kill (SIGTERM from a kill command) then they will execute. Similarly, they will execute after calling System.exit(int). However a hard kill (kill -9 or kill -SIGKILL) then they won’t execute. Similarly (and obviously) they … Read more
Easiest way to remove ‘MINGW64’ is to comment two lines in file: \Git\etc\profile.d\git-prompt.sh … # PS1=”$PS1″‘\[\033[35m\]’ # change to purple # PS1=”$PS1″‘$MSYSTEM ‘ # show MSYSTEM
Here’s what’s going on: default_random_engine in libstdc++ (GCC’s standard library) is minstd_rand0, which is a simple linear congruential engine: typedef linear_congruential_engine<uint_fast32_t, 16807, 0, 2147483647> minstd_rand0; The way this engine generates random numbers is xi+1 = (16807xi + 0) mod 2147483647. Therefore, if the seeds are different by 1, then most of the time the first … Read more
Let’s dissect it. There are three parts: cd — This is change directory command. /d — This switch makes cd change both drive and directory at once. Without it you would have to do cd %~d0 & cd %~p0. (%~d0 Changs active drive, cd %~p0 change the directory). %~dp0 — This can be dissected further … Read more
Googling gives me this: Command A & Command B Execute Command A, then execute Command B (no evaluation of anything) Command A | Command B Execute Command A, and redirect all its output into the input of Command B Command A && Command B Execute Command A, evaluate the errorlevel after running and if the … Read more
