Start Oracle in Vista with one click

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I have been using Vista for about 3 months and finally found a way to start my databases with a single click :)

The method I used until yesterday was a .BAT file that starts the services, I had then to right click on the shortcut, run as administrator, confirm the UAC warning. 3 Clicks. Way to much…

I have googled quite a lot and found Vista setuid - How to elevate without prompting

Ok, here we go :

1) run mmc
2) file - add snapin
3) Task Scheduler Library - Create Task
4) Name: startoracle
Run with highest privileges
Actions - New - Start a program - Program:net - Arguments: start OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
Actions - New - Start a program - Program:net - Arguments: start OracleServiceLSC01
Actions - New - Start a program - Program:net - Arguments: start OracleServiceLSC02
…
5) create a batch file that runs : schtasks /run /tn startoracle

Same for stoporacle

It seems to work fine. Do not play too much with mmc if you do not know it. It is a powerful tool :!:

Resize partition in Vista

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

It is quite a while I have not posted about Linux. The reason is I have bought in new notebook three months ago with Vista and did not have a program to resize the partition…

Do I need a program?
NO, I do not !!!

Vista has disk management that can resize my online partition.

Run: compmgmt.msc /s
Or go to control panel.

And shrink/extend your volumes!
