Script to auto start and stop an application

Ok, I'm looking for an easy solution, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
I have a security camera program that runs on a Mac Mini that I would like to start and stop at a specific time of day. Is there an easy way to create an Applescript to do that?
Thanks much in advance.

Two scripts and iCal can do this for you. However, it assumes that your workstation is always logged into the Finder and that your app can be scripted beyond start and stop.
--Script 1, launch application
tell application "name of security app"
activate
-- do more stuff here like start capture
end tell
--Script 2, quit the application
tell application "name of security app"
quit
end tell
Save them both as scripts and then use iCal to make two repeating events. One to start the app and the other to stop it. Attach your scripts as event actions. Then sit back and let the iCal schedular the rest.

How to start and stop Oracle Application Server from ANT

How to start and stop Oracle Application Server and Web application from ANT
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You can use: startManagedWebLogic.sh, it is in your domain directory and you have to execute it in this way
./startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServerName http://adminServerHost:adminServerPort
For instance, in my case I use:
unixserv01:/webportal/domains/appServerWeb/bin>startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServ01 http://pelma3w3per01.mesaperu.next:7001
You have to run it on the machine where the managed server was installed.

Flashing stacked sequence auto start and stop

Seems like this should be so easy but I'm stumped.
I want to use some flashing leds while some of my data is plotted but can’t figure out a way to programmatically start and stop a simple flashing stacked sequence.
thanks for any help.

OK. Then put the flashing in the loop with Stuff 2, which I presume is the one for which you want to show activity. I modified your program to do this. I also eliminated the sequence structure by using dataflow. You can probably get down to one loop by changing to a state machine structure.
If the flashing rate needs to be a different rate than the Stuff 2 logic, put the slower part into a case structure which only executes one time for every n iterations.

Dbora auto start and stop

Hi all:
This is on HP-UX 11.11 .I have created the dbora script under /sbin/init.d/ and linked as below.
/sbin/rc2.d/S900oracle -> /sbin/init.d/dbora
/sbin/rc1.d/K100oracle -> /sbin/init.d/dbora
I tested the script manually as ./dbora start and ./dbora stop it worked perfect.
The script is listed below
ORACLE=oracle; export ORACLE
ORACLE_HOME=/dba00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
#PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin; export PATH
case $1 in
'start')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart"
'stop')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop abcdwlist"
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit
esac
exit
When the server is rebooted the script fails with the following message.
usage: /sbin/rc1.d/K100oracle start ................... FAIL *
The permission on dbora is root:dba 750.
Can anyone let me know what i am missing.
Thanks,
Ganesh

According to the document
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b15658/strt_stp.htm#sthref249
It recommend to link to rc3.d
HP-UX
# ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc3.d/S990dbora
# ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc3.d/K001dbora
And dbora is somewhat different
BTW, why the PATH is comment out in your script?
#! /bin/sh -x
# Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
# directory for your installation.
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
# oracle owner at your site.
ORACLE=oracle
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
HOST=`hostname`
PLATFORM=`uname`
export ORACLE_HOME PATH
if [ ! "$2" = "ORA_DB" ] ; then
if [ "$PLATFORM" = "HP-UX" ] ; then
remsh $HOST -l $ORACLE -n "$0 $1 ORA_DB"
exit
else
rsh $HOST -l $ORACLE $0 $1 ORA_DB
exit
fi
fi
case $1 in
'start')
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME &
'stop')
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME &
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit
esac
exit

Starting and stopping applications via a Java-application on Windows/Unix

Hello,
I want to start java and other applications via a java application.
This java application should start several different applications on windows and
on unix systems and take care of their current state (e.g. running/not running).
For all applications to be started there are .sh-scripts for unix and .bat-scripts
for windows. In the scripts there could be a java call, e.g. "java someApplication",
or some executables could be called. These scripts set the applications' environment etc.
and start the application finally.
My java application calls these scripts via the ProcessBuilder API, which is working fine.
But there is the following problem: on windows, when executing a script that starts
some other application, the ProcessBuilder gives me process-handle to the started
process. If calling destroy() on this handle, only the cmd.exe gets killed which
started the application. The application itself is running on. This is undesired behaviour
since I want to be able to control the started applications, at least start and stop it which
is impossible that way.
On unix, it is working when using
"exec java someApplication"
instead of just
"java someApplication"
in the .sh-scripts. The exec command substitutes the shell process with the underlying
process started in the script, so everything is working as expected on unix.
But how could I get this working on windows systems? Is there any equivalent to the exec
command on unix? Any suggestions appreciated.
If something's unclear in my description, please let me know.

Yes - after looking at this option - I think that's the direction I am going to go. It probably makes sense to give my JMS topics and my BPEL server their own OC4J instances anyway - for a number of reasons.

CC&B start and stop script

Hi,
has any one automated the start and stop script for backup.
Please share the script.
Regards
TAI

Hi,
I don't believe there is a single script that can fit all installation of CC&B .
Backup usually has a strategy and a plan.
In our installation we run incremental backup daily for the database, and full backups weekly and montly. As for the application, full backup daily. Also we have several application servers running and the database has RAC installation.
So I guess you will need to review your backup strategy consider existing backup solutions in the market.

Stinking up the iPhone: auto-start and/or auto-stop iTunes playback

The feature to auto-start and/or auto-stop iTunes playback is a disaster. A good idea poorly implemented perhaps, or maybe not possible to implement well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a setting to turn this off! MANY MANY ENTRIES ACROSS MANY FORUMS! (e.g. Apple Discussions messageID=9937311) I will consider switching to another smartphone for this reason alone, it's that big a nuisance.

Action Script 3 code not working for start and stop button?

Ok so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.
Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test-
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopCircle);
function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function stopCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
green_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, greenCircle);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, redCircle);
function greenCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function redCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
Here are my output errors-
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/redCircle()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/greenCircle()

ok so my circle is my movie clip and it is titled circle and the instance name is circle. Am I supposed to change MovieClip to circle? I put the code at the top of my actions script but for some reason it did not work. I did change play to stop and it got the movie clip to stop when I do test movie but my buttons still do not work. So I changed stop back to play. Strange.
I did try changing MovieClip to circle but that did not work so I did Circle with a capital C and that did me no good eigther.
I meant to add that I did get an error that said- 1180 Call to a possibly undefined method circle.

Batch file to start and stop services

I've setup a CF Probe on my Development Server to ensure my
CF Production server is up and running (services = Apache and CF
Application Server). It checks the PROD login page and if it times
out in 30 sec the probe fails. I understand I can execute a file
(batch file with net start and net stop) but the problem is I need
to have the probe somehow point to the .bat file on the PROD server
and not on the local machine. How can I remotely access this batch
file and execute it? I don't know how to point to the file on the
other server... can anyone help?

Hi Ken,
You had pointed me in the right direction regarding the
psstools in order to create a batch file that can remotely start
and stop services.
i used the psexec command and am able to successfully restart
the services needed remotely... however when i pick the file in the
coldfusion administrator (in the probes section) how to i point to
the batch file to run? it seems like the probe is not running the
script like i want... the file is located on the c:\ so i entered
c:\test2.bat...
Thanks,
Matt
Matt,
You should review the online help in the cfadmin for probes
and the links it points you to in the developer's guide. Basically
you need to define a new probe in the cfadmin by clicking the
"Define New Probe" button. One of the probe's attributes will be
what action. Define the action as a program and point it at a batch
file running psexec. You will probably need to run CFMX as a
specific user and not as localsystem, which is the default.

Batch file to start and stop

Hi All,
Can we create a batch file to start and stop the services. I need to start all the services like shared, essbase, eas, planning, webanlysis and financial reporting, and at also need to stop them using windows batch file.(Using windows 2003 server....service pack 1). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The simplest script would be something like this. Save it as a .bat file, set all your services to manual and then set up a scheduled task to run this script when the computer starts.

Starting and stopping SAP in Unix

Hi,
Pls tell me the command to start and stop sap in Unix.
I dont want to start and stop the Database
Pls help

Log on in UNIX as a user with SAP administrator authorization (<sid>adm).
To start the central instance, call the shell script
startsap_<host>_<instance no> in the home directory
of the <sid>adm user. If there is only one instance for each application server, the
alias startsap points to the script startsap_<host>_<instance no>.
The script startsap first starts the saposcol process which collects statistical
data for the operating system that it provides to the SAP system.
The next step is a check to see if the database is running. If not, the script
startdb is called to start the database.
The final step starts all of the processes for the instance (message server,
dispatcher, work processes, and so on).
After the central instance is started, you can optionally start other instances.
The startsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: starts the database system
R3: starts the instances and associated processes for the instance
ALL: starts the database system and the instance (default setting, can be omitted)
To start the SAP system, the startsap script calls the sapstart process with
the start profile specified in the script in the variable START_FILES.
The stopsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: stops the database system with the help of the stopdb script
R3: stops the instances of the SAP system
ALL: stops the database system and the instance (default setting, can be
omitted)
The database can be stopped separately with database tools.
