Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install ControlMyMonitor, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade ControlMyMonitor, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall ControlMyMonitor, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download controlmymonitor --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade controlmymonitor -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade controlmymonitor -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
$process = Get-Process -Name $processName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($process) {
Write-Warning "$softwareName is still running despite stop request, force stopping it..."
Stop-Process -InputObject $process -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
Write-Warning "If upgrading, $softwareName may need to be manually restarted upon completion"

VERIFICATION
Verification is intended to assist the Chocolatey moderators and community
in verifying that this package's contents are trustworthy.
The packaged ZIP archive is sourced via the project's page on Nir Sofer's website.
The project's page is located at the following URL:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html
For convenience, the packaged archive was downloaded via the following URL:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/controlmymonitor.zip
Nir Sofer also publishes official checksums for the packaged archive at the following URL:
https://www.nirsoft.net/hash_check/?software=controlmymonitor
Note that the download URL is not versioned, and that the checksums page only contains information
for the latest available version. Therefore, these URLs will only be a valid reference source if
the latest available version and packaged version are one and the same. A newly released version
should be expected to invalidate a checksum verification for an older version when using these URLs.
As a workaround, this package's creation process includes the creation of historical snapshots via
the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to create a permanent backup source.
These snapshots can be accessed at the following URLs:
Download: https://web.archive.org/web/20240401210053/https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/controlmymonitor.zip
Checksums: https://web.archive.org/web/20240401210020/https://www.nirsoft.net/hash_check/?software=controlmymonitor
For convenience, the following checksums were published at the time of this package's creation:
MD5: 0f06c7b4449413162a36038e31ad89ad
SHA1: 221a8e744eb1ccf69211618ea0d401cacd005bba
SHA256: e0752096ee7dfd17e6ae91eefaaecff900055ba1462f9c845ce237f18a1d5386
SHA512: ff0b3de4f4e1bba5467c0bd81ee879e37e835131ee6b884c664b20b07696580e51ba7bd8d8c3300448a532848d88eb6ec12446b32afadcc39560fe38c3405a7b
Note that the MD5 and SHA1 hash algorithms are no longer considered secure by modern standards.
For tamper protection, it's recommended to validate against either a SHA256 or SHA512 hash instead.
The following PowerShell block will calculate and print a hash for each supported algorithm:
$hashAlgorithms = @('MD5', 'SHA1', 'SHA256', 'SHA512')
$hashAlgorithms | ForEach-Object { (Get-FileHash -Path controlmymonitor.zip -Algorithm $_).Hash.ToLower() }
This block should be executed against an independently downloaded archive, as well as the copy
distributed with the package. All of the calculated hash values should match the published checksums.
Matching hash values should confirm that the published checksums are valid, and that no corruption or
tampering has occurred during this package's generation process.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
