Dammit

Used to express anger, irritation, contempt, or disappointment.

Dammit Windows let me delete that file.

Features

• No external dependencies.
• Easy to install
• Support for cmd, Cygwin, GnuNT Bash and Git Bash.
• Answering s will attempt to activate the window associated with the to-be-killed process.
• Restarts explorer.exe if it needed to be killed (see below)

Installation

Option 1: From T:\ drive (binary distribution)

This is the preferred installation method for employees at MAYA.

• Browse to T:\selimb\dammit.
• Run install.bat.

Option 2: From source

• Clone the repo locally.
• You are probably going to want to remove check_for_update() and its call in main.py.
• cd into folder.
• Run python setup.py install.

Options

Run dammit -h to get a list of the options:

• -s: enables "y" and "n" hotkeys after activating a window (by answering s) without Alt-Tabbing back to the terminal window. The appropriate command will be sent to the terminal you were using.
• -y: Kill without permission.

Explorer was not restarted

dammit tries to start explorer.exe after it has been killed. However, it may occur that this is not executed properly. If this occurs, you can run the following to start explorer.exe again.

dammit --explorer
