Hi I have been trying to get the ownCloud client running from a procedure but so far have been unsuccessful. The executable is owncloud.exe and the default location for it is “c:\program files (x86)\owncloud”
I can run it from a command prompt and I can run it from powershell but cannot get it to run as part of a procedure. Can you please assist me with this.
Thank-you for your help, John
Please use the script for your request.
Enter your command at the variable command=‘your_command’ that you want to execute with owncloudcmd.exe
Additionally, Please try your command with the file owncloudcmd.exe instead of owncloud.exe with your procedure 
command='--version' ## enter the command here, the command should be the actual commmand comes after the owncloudcmd.exe, please ensure that there is no leading space on your command
def ecmd(CMD, OUT=False):
import ctypes
class disable_file_system_redirection:
_disable = ctypes.windll.kernel32.Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection
_revert = ctypes.windll.kernel32.Wow64RevertWow64FsRedirection
def __enter__(self):
self.old_value = ctypes.c_long()
self.success = self._disable(ctypes.byref(self.old_value))
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
if self.success:
self._revert(self.old_value)
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
with disable_file_system_redirection():
OBJ = Popen(CMD, shell = True, stdout = PIPE, stderr = PIPE)
out, err = OBJ.communicate()
return out.strip()
import os
pfile86='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ownCloud\\owncloudcmd.exe'
pfile64='C:\\Program Files\\ownCloud\\owncloudcmd.exe'
if os.path.isfile(pfile86):
print ecmd('"'+pfile86+'" '+command)
elif os.path.isfile(pfile64):
print ecmd('"'+pfile64+'" '+command)
else:
print 'the files not found:

'+pfile64
