How to run a CMD command as administrator?

[zoel]

Hello people, I have a script which calls CMD and executes the netstat command, but when I run it through SCITE the GUI opens but I have no output, How can I run the command as administrator?

Here is my script so far

expandcollapse popup

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <ScrollBarsConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#RequireAdmin
Local $aWndPos
Local $hWnd = GUICreate("Form2", 900, 420, -1, -1, Default + $WS_MAXIMIZE)
    GUISetBkColor(0xE4E4E4)
Local $idFilemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
Local $idExititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $idFilemenu)
Local $idInput = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 210, 10, 660, 360)
        GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKBORDERS)
        GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, Default, "COURIER NEW")
Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("NetStat", 10, 10, 190, 25)
    GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $idExititem
            Exit
        Case $idButton
            GUICtrlSetData($idInput, _CmdInfo() & @CRLF)
            _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($idInput, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
            _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($idInput, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _CmdInfo($_sCmdInfo = "netstat /b")
    Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $_sCmdInfo, "", @SW_HIDE,  BitOR($STDERR_CHILD, $STDOUT_CHILD))
    ; Wait until the process has closed using the PID returned by Run.
    ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
    ; Read the Stdout stream of the PID returned by Run. This can also be done in a while loop. Look at the example for StderrRead.
    Local $sOutput = StringReplace(StdoutRead($iPID), @CRLF & @CRLF, @CRLF)
    Local $sOutErr = StringReplace(StderrRead($iPID), @CRLF & @CRLF, @CRLF)
    Local $sReult = $sOutput <> "" ? $sOutput : $sOutErr
    Return $sReult
EndFunc

Replace the run line with this one :

Local $iPID = Run($_sCmdInfo, "", @SW_HIDE,  BitOR($STDERR_CHILD, $STDOUT_CHILD))

As with cmd it is not elevated, but now netstat is.

I think you like to see the output as it comes in ...right?

Your script currently waits till it is finished.

Thanks for the help my friend, I changed the line but still I have no output, nothing happens.

It is working for me.  You need to click the button, right ?

Of course, I click the button but nothing

I see. On win7 the response is immediate.  But on Win10 it takes forever.  This is what @Jos was referring to.

I see!

Use "netstat /b /n" for immediate response as the ip->name is making it pretty slow.

Yep! That made it work, thank you Sir!!

So tell me: Why did you expect it to work fast at all?
Didn't you test it by running the command from the commandline itself on that slow computer?
Debugging isn't really that hard when you put your assumptions in the fridge and test when things aren't doing what you expect.

I did test it by running the command from the commandline, and it runs immediately, I'm on a windows 8.1 PC.

Thanks for the advice.

So from the commandline it works fast and slow when ran with Autoit3?

Correct!

[Jos]

Also when that cmd is ran as Admin as I don't understand why there would be a difference?
For me they are exactly the same.
