Unable to capture startup and shutdown event of Photoshop in automation Plugin.

Hi,
I am creating an automation plugin and I want to register some events. I have seen listener plugin sample to register event in startup and unregister event in shutdown. I have used same code in my plugin but I am unable to capture the startup nad shutdown event of Photoshop. On clicking the menu item of my plugin the calls come inside the AutoPluginMain but during the startup or shutdown of plugin, the calls does not come inside the AutoPluginMain.
I am unable to detect the cause of the problem. Can someone please giude me??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, I am working on Windows. As you suggested, I compiled .rc file but the compile option for .r file was disabled. After compiling the .rc file, I again rebuild the complete project and tested my build. But still I was not able to achive the desired result.
Any other thing that I need to do to make it work?
Thanks

How to capture show layer and hide layer event in photoshop through a plugin???

How to capture show layer and hide layer event in photoshop through a plugin???for mac

Use the Listener plug-in found in the SDK to see how you can monitor the show/hide layer event. You can also use the Getter plug-in to show what information you can find out about the current state of Photoshop.

Using launchd to send an email on startup and shutdown

Hello All !
I'd like to get an email whenever my Mac starts up and shuts down, since I have to leave it unattended for quite some long periods of time (and even with the help of a UPS, power goes out anyway...). My Mac runs under Mac OS X Lion.
I found some help on the Internet, mainly from this page : http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2009/06/email-on-shutdown-and-restart/ , which applies to Linux, and hoped it could work on Mac OS X (I thought at first I could just drop a script in something like /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d but well... we have launchd instead...).
The first method listed in the page above worked well, but sends an email only on startup (for a reminder: you add a line that starts with @reboot in your crontab, and a command that sends directly an email).
I then tried to adapt the second method to Mac OS X, and succeeded partially: I wrote a small script based on what was shown on that page (a start and stop function, start gets called when the script is started, and stop gets called based on a trap on various kill signals, with an infinite wait loop: see below). I also wrote the plist file, loaded it in launchd and rebooted my Mac several times to test everything.
I get an email on each startup (yeah!), but the shutdown mail gets sent only at the next startup. So I guess that postfix gets killed by the shutdown process *before* being able to send my shutdown email :-(
So here are my main questions, if someone can help me:
1. is there a way to precisely call a script during the shutdown process, meaning giving it a priority so it gets called before postfix dies ? (like the rc directories and the naming conventions (KnnScriptName and SnnScriptName) found on some Linux/Unix).
2. is it possible to do that with launchd ? if not, what would be the Mac OS X sanctionned way of doing this ?
Other things:
3. my shell script writing ability is kind of rusty, so maybe I made some "very bad shell writingTM": l'm not sure putting an infinite while loop with a 15 second pause in it is the best way of telling a script to do nothing. There might other things in there that would make an Unix guru jump out of his chair: please tell me :-)
This is my plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>

Thanks a lot for your answer, Camelot, even if it sorts of confirm what I suspected. Pinging a machine from an external observer is a solution, but it will also report broken links problems and not only a computer shutting down, and it raises the next tier of problems, general network reliability after individual system reliability. It's something I'll have to look at for sure.
It's weird there isn't any way to access the way the shutdown process works.
One of the commenters (#14) on the page from Syntaxtechnology had a similar problem: he added a "sendmail -q" in his script to force sendmail to go to work and service the queue before shutting down, which I can try, but he also added a delay to the stop process of sendmail, which is something I'm not sure I can do on Mac OS X (and that might disappear one day with one of the OS updates).
Unless there is a way to change the launchd.plist file for postfix and add an ExitTimeOut option in it (I found this idea here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/17229690#17229690 )
Cheers,
Paul-Henri

10.6.1 Slow Startup and Shutdown

Did anyone notice the difference between the 10.6.1 startup and shutdown times and the 10.6 times ?
I had to do a clean install of 10.6 and ignore the 10.6.1 update to get back speed in startup and shutdown.
Is there anyway to solve this.
Thanks.

I had the same problems, and I figured out the cause. It seems that somehow the ownership of my root directory (/) wasn't assigned to the root account anymore, but to myself instead. This made the kernel prelinking fail since it requires that root is the owner. This is how you solve this after launching the Terminal app:
{quote:title=terminal commands}sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches{quote}
You'll have to enter your password after the first command.
Hope this helps someone, since it was really frustrating to have these slower startup/shutdown times for me.

Shell Script for Startup and Shutdown the database

SHUTDOWN
SHUTDOWN ABORT]
Shuts down a currently running Oracle instance, optionally closing and dismounting a database.
Terms
Refer to the following list for a description of each term or clause:
ABORT
Proceeds with the fastest possible shutdown of the database without waiting for calls to complete or users to disconnect.
Uncommitted transactions are not rolled back. Client SQL statements currently being processed are terminated. All users currently connected to the database are implicitly disconnected and the next database startup will require instance recovery.
You must use this option if a background process terminates abnormally.
IMMEDIATE
Does not wait for current calls to complete or users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
NORMAL
NORMAL is the default option which waits for users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
TRANSACTIONAL [LOCAL]
Performs a planned shutdown of an instance while allowing active transactions to complete first. It prevents clients from losing work without requiring all users to log off.
No client can start a new transaction on this instance. Attempting to start a new transaction results in disconnection. After completion of all transactions, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected. Now the instance shuts down just as it would if a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement was submitted. The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
The LOCAL mode specifies a transactional shutdown on the local instance only, so that it only waits on local transactions to complete, not all transactions. This is useful, for example, for scheduled outage maintenance.
Usage
SHUTDOWN with no arguments is equivalent to SHUTDOWN NORMAL.
You must be connected to a database as SYSOPER, or SYSDBA. You cannot connect via a multi-threaded server. For more information about connecting to a database, see the CONNECT command earlier in this chapter.

Spontaneous startups and shutdowns

Ever since I got my G5 in 2004, I've had spontaneous startup/shutdown problems. I will wake up in the morning or come home from work and find the computer on and at the login prompt (I have set no such predetermined startup time.) Or, I'll be working and all of a sudden it powers down and then powers back up (it will bring me back to the same screen and what I was doing), but after repeated occurrences of shutdown/startup, usually in short succession, it will permanently shut down, requiring me to shut off the battery backup into which it is plugged to reset the whole system. Then things settle down for a while. Then a month or two later, it will go through another bad spate of spontaneous startups and shutdowns, almost like it just got over a cold only to contract a new one.
At first, Apple said it was a motherboard problem which they replaced; that didn't solve my problem. Then they said it was a bad video cable to the monitor and repaired that; that didn't solve my problem, either. They asked if I had any peripherals (printer, scanner, external HD) hooked up and said such items can cause erratic behavior (to which I felt like asking "then why do you manufacture your computers with ports in them so users CAN plug in other devices?") I've given up taking it to them because I can't make it replicate its erratic behavior and unless they see what it's doing, they can't do anything about it (and I don't think they really believe me, anyway...)
I've reset my PRAM. I've reset my SMU (actually that happens every time I shut down the computer because I shut down the battery backup every time to prevent unsupervised morning startup.) I've run Disk Warrior. I've checked and confirmed my power source. I've literally unplugged everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) and re-connected all components. All to no avail. I even have video of it happening because Apple doesn't believe what I'm describing. Is it possible that my computer has been infected and is one of those "slave computers" that hackers use to do their bidding? I've wondered about that...
Has anyone else experienced this?

It almost sounds like a bad UPS.
Have you tried bypassing the UPS? What is the rating of the thing?

IOP startup and shutdown as windows services

Hi,
Is there a way can we have IOP startup and shutdown as windows services instead of running the bat files?
Thanks,

Yes. You can install IOP as NT service and start/stop it.
Please refer to "Installing Integrated Operational Planning as an NT Service" in the IOP install guide.

Startup and Shutdown classes in OC4J (Oracle 9i App Server)

Hi,
We are in the process of porting our application from Weblogic 6 to Oracle 9i app server. We have a requirement for developing startup and shutdown classes. These need to be instantiated from Java code (and not through console).
If anyone knows how this can be achieved or have any documentation on the same, please reply back to .
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Moin

The oc4j commands in the documentation for shutting down the server are:
STARTUP
java -jar orion.jar -install
SHUTDOWN
java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost/ <admin> <admin-password>
Can you just access these classes directly?

Startup and shutdown of 11i Services in windows

Hi friends, I am new for windows.
how can we startup and shutdown of 11i instacne under windows.
can we do it through services screen
or
can we do it through scripts as we do it on Unix/Linux
which is the best method

Either way is fine. Use the method which you feel if more comfortable to you. But I would suggest keep using scripts, as in future if you move to other platform you will not get surprised.
Thanks

Startup and shutdown from command line with version 9i

Hi, i'm an Oracle newbie. I heard it's possible to startup and shutdown an oracle (instance? or database? which one is it) from the command line.
A little background on what it is that I want to do:
I'm looking to backup a database by copying the files that make up the database to a location from where they will be commited to tape media. To do this I must shutdown the database, copy the files, and startup the database again.
At the moment the backups are full exports which I find unnecessary since it is a development database which is never used at night. It is therefore not an issue if we want to shut it down and re-start it after a few minutes. (I think it would take longer to export as opposed to copy the files right?)
I need help and advice :
1. Is my way of going about this correct ?
2. How do I startup/shutdown from the command line (sqlplus user/password command) or should I use another utility ?
Thanks,
Gabriel

Startup and shutdown of standby database

Hi
Expert,
i want to know step by step process of startup and shutdown of standby oracle 10g database on windows and linux server.
thanks

Any form of integration with standard oracle startup/shutdown scripts for a dataguar configuration?
Or this is targeted by the broker perhaps?
For example putting Y inside /etc/oratab but also with other flags inside it or any other files around?
Or something like this:
- make a startup mount
- select switchover_status from v$database
in case output is "TO PRIMARY"
alter database recover....
otherwise if it is "TO STANDBY"
alter database open
or somethjngi similar...

Startup and Shutdown class not found

Hi, I try to use a startup and shutdown class on my WLS, but on startting show
this exception : weblogic.t3.srvr.FatalStartupException ... class failure post_java.class
, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
the post_java.class is in .\mydomain\lib the same of weblogic.jar, in startWebLogic.cmd
is add it on classpath
Where is the place of Startup and Shutdown class ?
I use WLS 6.1 sp3 on Windows and UNIX (Soalris)
Tanks.

Hi.
You need to add the directory where you have your startup class to your classpath. The
weblogic.jar file is named specifically in the classpath, so it's not enough to put your
classpath in the ./mydomain/lib directory.
The easiest thing to do would be to add ./mydomain/lib to your classpath in your start script.
Regards,
Michael

Startup and shutdown sequence in MSCS clustered EP

Hi,
We are running an Enterprise portal in a clustered environment with 2 nodes (HA). Please advice the best practice
on startup and shutdown order and procedures for the instances, SCS, CI and database and cluster (nodes).
This is essential for maintenance and patching.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
Your wish you can stop using cluster manager or using script.
You should always shut your central instance lastly,enque server should be also shutdown before the central instance,as far as i know.

Startup and Shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows?

Hi,
I wanted to know if startup and shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows are available.
I am thinking something like the ocsctl_sample scripts that OCS10g included.
I have checked the OCS 9.0.4 documentation and not a lot of information for the windows platform is avaiable.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ana

There is no scripts that comes with 9.0.4.
One possibility is to just write the commands you normally use in a batch-file, but note that then you have no checking, and if OCS runs on several machines you should have some checking for required processes etc.
We are using some scripts that does this, but I'm not shure where they came from, possibly from Metalink or from this forum. Try a search. Our scripts are changed quite a bit for our needs, but I might be able to find the original ones.
