Ping in interval on Windows with commandline

How do you ping in interval in Windows ? This is how you do it. Just type this in Start => Run

cmd /c "for /L %i in (1,0,2) do @ping 1.2.3.4 > nul & sleep 10"

This would ping an address in interval of 10 seconds without echo the results but if you do then use this next command

cmd /c "for /L %i in (1,0,2) do @ping 1.2.3.4 & sleep 10"

Notice the '>nul' is exclude.

Happy trying and now you don't need all those fancy utilities.

Why I Can't Move/Import VM in XenServer.

Ok this is what i found out, the metadata export/import via ' Backup, Restore and Update ' menu in xsconsole OR using ' xe vm-export filename=xxx metadata=true vm= ' will export all vm's metadata eventhough you've specify the vm in the latter, the former is ok because it is backup & restore tool. Problem happens when you want to restore the metadata or import to another xenserver. If you follow the method from 'Backup and Restore' in the reference guide, it should be ok if you're using pool because all pools are using shared storage; and if you don't use pool, your xenserver store all the VMs in the shared storage ONLY, means the Local SR is not use at all. This way, you wont face any problem. But, what if you have a mix of local & shared storage use.

SQL Tips : EXTRACT function as alternative to TO_CHAR

You want to create a sql to list data group in year (datetime datatype). Example as below : The table is smp.SC03F_TEMP with over 10 million rows. Usually, if there something deals with date we will use to_char function. As an alternative, you can use extract function to extract certain part of the date. In belows example, we extract the year of a column. As we can see the time taken is almost half for 10 million rows. Happy trying. select count(*) from smp.SC03F_TEMP; -- 10,866,921 records select count(*), to_char(A.SC03TARIKH, 'YYYY') from smp.SC03F_TEMP a group by to_char(A.SC03TARIKH, 'YYYY'); -- Time taken 54sec
