Supress echo carriage return?

[vamsiCloud]

Hello Experts,

Please help in in supressing the carriage retun of echo.

I want to have the output of  green and red coomads in the same line.

for /f %%i in (%1) do (echo  %%i & sc \\%%i query SSHSecureShell2Server|find "STATE")

The following the the complete script.

REM This script is used to check the status of SSH service on the given list of servers on host.txt
rem usage: c:\>sshcheck host.txt

cls
@echo off

if "%1" == "" goto :EOF

for /f %%i in (%1) do (echo  %%i & sc \\%%i query SSHSecureShell2Server|find "STATE")

goto :EOF

:EOF
echo.

I'm not that fluent in commandline scripting to know how you can solve the question you asked. But because you asked your question in the PowerCLI Community, I will give you a PowerCLI answer. I think the next PowerCLI script wil give you the output the commandline script was supposed to give you,  for all your hosts.

Get-VMHost | `
Sort-Object -Property Name | `
Get-VMHostService | Where-Object {$_.Key -like "*SSH*"} | `
Select-Object -Property VMHost,@{N="Service";E={$_.Key}},Running

Hello, vamsiCloud-

If you wanted to stick with using DOS/cmd.exe for this,  you could do something (somewhat kludgy) like:

REM This script is used to check the status of SSH service on the given list of servers on host.txt
rem usage: c:\>sshcheck host.txt
cls
@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto EOF
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (%1) do (
    set strComputer=%%i
    for /f "tokens=*" %%s in ('sc.exe \\!strComputer! query SSHSecureShell2Server ^| find "STATE"') do set strState=%%s
    echo !strComputer! !strState!
    set strComputer=
    set strState=
)
endlocal
goto EOF

:EOF
echo.

Had to dig up the oolldd skills there.  Or, you could get the service info in a bit more contemporary fashion using PowerShell like:

$strSvcToFind = "SSHSecureShell2Server"
Get-Content C:\Temp\myMachineNames.txt | select `
    @{n="ComputerName"; e={$_}},
    @{n="SvcStatus"; e={
        $strStatus = (Get-Service -Computer $_ -Name $strSvcToFind -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Status
        if ($strStatus) {$strStatus} else {"svc not found"}}}

How do those do for you?

Thanks

Hello, Vamsi-

Hmm. I cannot reproduce the problem.  I tried on a WinXP client and Win7 -- same successful results.  Though, I did notice that there was a syntax error in the "goto" lines -- they had a colon preceding the label.  The colon should appear at the point that the label is defined, but not along with the label name when using it in a goto call.

I do not think that would cause the issue that you are seeing, though.  To help troubleshoot, comment out (or remove) the "@echo off" line from the batch file, and see what the results are.
