Scheduling, how does at work?
Hi! I would like to execute commands at certain times. I know there is always cron which is good but looking for something simpler. Kalarm is nice if you are running X and sleep always work but I'm looking for something more like "at" - problem is I can't get at to work.
at 00:00
...returns 'warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh' then gives at-prompt.. but how do I get at to use bash?
The other problem is that at executes urxvt on time fine but it doesn't execute any other apps that i throw at it.. any ideas why? is it broken? not configured properly? Thanks!
Sure, here's a sample.. in the first screenshot the third terminal is launched by at.. in the second screenshot xmms is not launched. I haven't got it to launch anything but urxvt. Same thing when entering a bash script at the at-prompt ie I can launch urxvt from within the script but not for example xmms. Specifying the file with the at -f option same thing. The script can of course be launched from a terminal and works. Is at or sh not configured properly? Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

What is UMA exactly? How does it work?
What is UMA exactly? How does it work?
I have T Mobile but am not subscribed to Hotspots at Home. I do pay for the BB unlimited internet package.
When I am connected to my router at home, it goes to UMA. But other times, it just says wifi and is still connected to my router -- but NO UMA. I haven't made any changes.
What is this?Here is a KB that discusses UMA:

Call Horizon - How does it work
Hi All,
I have a doubt related to call horizon and how does it work.
We have a strategy with the following cycles:
C1 - 250 Hours
C2 - 500 Hours
C3 - 1000 Hours
C4 - 2000 Hours
In strategy, if we define a call horizon of 90% how the system generates the schedule calls?
C1 - 250 H - 250 H * 90% = 25 Hours earlier
C2 - 500 H - 500 H * 90% = 50 Hours earlier
C3 - 1000 H - 1000 H * 90% = 100 Hours earlier
C4 - 2000 H - 2000 H * 90% = ~2000 Hours earlier
Is that correct?
Regards,
Rogério Reishi
it is not the case of cycle unit ,it is the combination of current counter,and annual performance .
for example i have created a maintenace plan of 1000h,2000h,3000h with the call horizon as 90% and with the annual estimate as 3650 ie 10 h/day
then while scheduling system will calculate the call day as per the least couter cycle ie in normal reaching 1000 h will take 100 days ,since the 90% call horizon is there system will consider 10 days in advance or 100 hrs
hence for the next cycle aslo sysem will consider the 10 days advance or when the counter reaches 1900

This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?
The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application. -
My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.
Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. -
Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?
You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware. -
So how does this work on Mountain Lion? I cannot seem to ignore the iTunes 11 updates, which now seem to appear every 5 minutes!!
Fantastic! Didn't work at first so restarted App store and tried again. This time it asked 'ignore update'. All gone!

My co-worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer. How does this work?
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before. -
Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work
Hi all.
I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
task is triggered.
As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
Cheers
JakesWhat permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, TomRemote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.
Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files. Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file. Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
Just a for-your-info:
Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh. -
Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?
Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works

What is efax and how does it work?
Hi!
eFax® is a service provided by eFax®, not Hewlett-Packard, that allows you to send and receive faxes using the Internet rather than a phone line. eFax® is easy to use, but it is different than a typical phone-based fax machine. You don't require a phone line to use it, so you don't have to worry about busy signals and you can place your printer where you want it, not where the phone jacks are located! The fax number you are provided will not typically be a local number, and may even be in a different country. You will receive 20 incoming and 20 outgoing fax pages per month for free with this service. Your page counts will reset at midnight Pacific Time on the first of each month. You can also subscribe to eFax® Plus to obtain additional pages per month by visiting: http://www.eFax.com/products/internet-fax.
How does it work?
eFax® uses the printer Internet connection to send and receive faxes. When you send a fax, it is sent over the Internet to the eFax® server and then eFax® sends your fax to the recipient's fax machine over a standard phone line.
Your faxes are received in a similar manner, but the order is reversed. The sender sends the fax over a phone line to eFax® and then eFax® sends the fax to your printer using HP's ePrint service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Im_cheesecake,
Great information, if you don't mind I just wanted to piggy back off of your post, to clear any potential confusion.
The 20 free incoming & 20 free outgoing faxes are with HP printer's that include the eFax service print app. As of now, we have three printer series' that include the pre-installed eFax print app: HP Photosmart 7510 Series, HP Envy 110 Series, and the HP Photosmart eStation C510a.
eFax also has a free plan which allows you to receive a limited number of faxes but does not allow you to send any faxes. If you exceed the number of received faxes allowed, eFax will prompt you to upgrade to a paying account. Here are the main details of the free plan:
One remote (i.e. non-local) eFax number
Area code/prefix is selected by eFax and cannot be changed (unless you upgrade to a paid account)
20 incoming fax pages per month (receive-only)
You are prompted to upgrade to a paying account if you exceed 20 incoming pages, or if you need send capability.
