Force a file to be closed. Is it possible?

Is it possible to force a file (opened on a local drive of a machine)
to be closed in order that it may be written to with updates?

You could close the applications keeping the files open
('System.Diagno stics.Process' class provides 'CloseMainWindo w' and 'Kill'
methods).

Is it possible to force a download without using the readfile function? My website setup consists of my server that serves the web pages plus a high-speed file server elsewhere on the internet that servers my files. I'm currently using header("Location: abc.com") to redirect my users to this other site but can't force a download. I can get it to work using readfile() but that means the file moves from the high-speed server through my...

Hello gang, My coworker and I are writing a Python class for the other developers within our team. This class is supposed to encapsulate several things, including daemonizing, setting up logging, and spawning a thread to host an XML-RPC server. I'm having a real problem with logging.Logger and threading.Thread. In the main thread, we set up two loggers, each with file handlers. We then spawn the xml-rpc server thread, and allow the...

I have a .NET datagrid that has a column of dropdownlist controls. If the user changes the value in the dropdown in one or more rows I will set a flag. If the user subsequently attempts to (1) leave the page, or 2) close the window, I want to present an Alert reminding them to first submit their data. Anyone know how to do this? TIA, Dewey

How do I force a browser to download a file instead of displaying it? In other words I have a page with MP3 and WMA files on it and I would like for the visitor to download the file instead of play it without having to right-click and save. How can I force the browser to pop up the "save file as" dialog box instead of playing it? I know that I can encapsulate it in a zip file which will download and open WinZip. Thanks

I wrote an app that alerts a user who attempts to open a file that the file is currently in use. It works fine except when the file is opened by Notepad. If a text file is opened, most computers are configured to use Notepad to open the file by default and if they are configured to use Notepad by default I want it to remain that way rather than retrieve the text into my app or force the user to use another app to read the file. I'm...

I am wondering if this is possible. I have a file that is accessed by multiple users and keeps track of activity (the file is polled by flash every 2 seconds). As users leave, the flash program tells the php program to remove them from the activity file, and as users access this activity file, users who have timed out (haven't been heard from in 60 seconds) are removed. Using a combination of flock, microsecond sleeps, loops and the flash...

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to detect if a socket is closed or not. Outside of using read()/write(). I also don't want to set the socket to non-blocking if at all possible. I wrote a function that reads a single char(or byte, whatever) and wanted to use it in a simulated blocking and nonblocking way. It works fine for waiting for the correct timeouts, but since I use ioctl() to detect if there is data to be read, I won't...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
