EKON 21 – The Conference for Delphi & More

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/10/24

I barely made it to EKON21 mainly because of extensive family members care-taking, so could not attend everything and archived the site for

The Conference for Delphi & More | 23 – 25 October 2017, Cologne | presented by Entwickler Akademie and Entwickler Magazin

[WayBack] EKON 21 – The Conference for Delphi & More:

It seems one older conference is archived.

Delay running a script after restart – MikroTik RouterOS

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/10/24

Start Time special value `startup`

Start Time special value `startup`

There is a special startup value for “Start Time” you can enter which makes it runs once 3 seconds after reboot.

If by then your router isn’t fully “up” yet (i.e. waiting for PPPoE or DHCP network settings), then inside the script you can perform a delay global command as shown in the code fragment from the below forum post.

Don’t you love how people still tend to both repeat themselves and abbreviate stuff even though they have code completion at their disposal?:

{:delay 10};
/log print file=([/system identity get name] . "Log-" . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6]); \
/tool e-mail send to="xxx@xxx.com" subject=([/system identity get name] . " Log " . \
[/system clock get date]) file=([/system identity get name] . "Log-" . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] . \
[:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6] . ".txt"); :delay 10; \
/file rem [/file find name=([/system identity get name] . "Log-" . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] . \
[:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6] . ".txt")]; \
:log info ("System Log emailed at " . [/sys cl get time] . " " . [/sys cl get date])

Windows/*n*x: Getting curl to output HTTP status code – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/10/24

The first trick works in Windowa and nx (thanks [WayBack] pvandenberk):

curl -s -o /dev/null -I -w "%{http_code}" http://www.example.org/

Inside a Windows batch file you need to escape the % to %% so you get this:

curl -s -o /dev/null -I -w "%%{http_code}" http://www.example.org/

The second is slick but only works on nx (thanks [WayBack] Heath Borders):

#creates a new file descriptor 3 that redirects to 1 (STDOUT)
exec 3>&1
# Run curl in a separate command, capturing output of -w "%{http_code}" into HTTP_STATUS
# and sending the content to this command's STDOUT with -o >(cat >&3)
HTTP_STATUS=$(curl -w "%{http_code}" -o >(cat >&3) 'http://example.com')
