Nircmd v2.20

Cornflower · **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2009 5:56 am

not a portable freeware because it is command line, but since virtually everything else by Nils Sofer is portable, I am noting its update:

New in v2.20
* New commands: waitprocess, setprocesspriority, qboxtop, qboxcomtop.
* New action in clipboard command: copyimage (Copy image file to the clipboard)

Does anyone know an easy way to integrate this with existing automation tools?

Like making .bat files (in same folder as nircmd.exe) and executing them using any hotkeys app (admin rights needed)?

Code:

Echo off
start nircmd.exe monitor off
Exit

Or Executor keywords (put nircmd.exe in same folder as executor.exe and use the exact commands from nircmd.chm)?

I think I have one or two nircmd commands in my PowerPro config.

Or you can use Total Commander's button bar for example:

Code:

Go to path on clipboard (in Total Commander):
"%commander_path%\..\nircmd\nircmd.exe" exec show "%commander_path%\TOTALCMD.EXE" /O /T /S /L="~$clipboard$"

As you can see, all paths are relative.

@joby

You can use relative paths in PowerPro too:

Code:

pprofolder++?"..\..\Total Commander\TOTALCMD.exe"

Yeah. I think any note about this program should come with a few quick ways to use it like what you and tproli added. Thanks to both of you.
