Unable to get console input mode - 0x80070006 The handle is invalid

[fcjoe]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the output from running a command. I copied the example from AutoIt's help file but I keep getting an error: Unable to get console input mode - 0x80070006 The handle is invalid

I'm trying to run the Bitsadmin.exe program. Bitsadmin

If I change the command line and remove the "/getstate test" I get the output without any errors. But if I add any options to the command line I get the same error. The error message comes from StdoutRead, StderrRead doesn't return anything.

My code is below.

Thanks,

Joe

#include <Constants.au3>

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c C:\bitsadmin.exe /getstate test", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDERR read:", $line)
Wend

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "Exiting...")

Sometimes certain command line utility give nothing in output.

I think bitsadmin is in this case...

It does give output, it even has option flags to make the output easier to read for parsing (/RAWRETURN] [/WRAP | /NOWRAP)

#include <Constants.au3>

$_bitsadminPath = 'C:\bitsadmin.exe'
$_Pid = Run ( @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $_bitsadminPath & '" /getstate test', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD )

While ProcessExists ( $_Pid )
    $line = StdoutRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $line = '' Then $line = StdoutRead ( $_Pid, True, True )  
    If Not @error And $line <> '' Then ConsoleWrite ( "STDOUT read : " & $line & @Crlf )
    $line = StderrRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $line = '' Then $line = StderrRead ( $_Pid, True, True )      
    If Not @error And $line <> '' Then ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $line & @Crlf )    
Wend

I get "STDOUT read : Unable to get console input mode - 0x80070006 Descripteur non valide"

Perhaps parameters are wrong ?

I changed the code to this

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c C:\bitsadmin.exe /rawreturn /getstate test > c:\line.txt","C:\",@SW_MINIMIZE)

The only thing I changed was adding " > c:\line.txt" to the end of the command.

The output went to the text file correctly. If I addedd $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD optional flags, then the text file would have the "Unable to get console input mode - 0x80070006 " error message. So the problem is with $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD optional flags. I'm going to try your code without it and see what happens.

Same result

I guess I'm stuck with sending output to text file and reading the text file. This sucks

STDOUT read :

I figured it out. I downloaded bitsadmin from Windows XP Support tools, which is an older version. I did some searching and found that there is a newer version in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 32-bit Support Toolslink

This newer version works with no problems.

So the problem wasn't with my script, but with bitsadmin.exe itself.

Thank you for all your help Wakillon
