App reverts to old Executable Name when run by AppleScript?

Currently I have an app that I made in AppleScript that does a variety of different tasks when it runs. Part of the task that it performs includes opening up another app which I did not build but downloaded off the Internet (secondaryapp.app).
The original executable name (i.e. the listing under CFBundleExecutable in the Info.plist) of this secondary app is something that is kind of obnoxious and I would really like to change it because I type it in to Terminal a lot so that I can quit the app using the kill command. For the purposes of this post lets just say the original executable name was "old-exec-name." I would really like to change "old-exec-name" to "new-exec-name." To do this I changed both the Info.plist entry and the name of the executable file in the Mac OS folder to be "new-exec-name" and then I archived and unarchived the app to make sure the changes stuck.
When I click on the secondary app (secondaryapp.app) and tell it to open in Finder the program runs fine and the new executable name seems to be working and responds when I use 'killall QUIT "new-exec-name"' in Terminal. However when I use my AppleScript application which launches secondaryapp.app as part of its script the secondary app is run under the old executable name and can only be quit using 'killall QUIT "old-exec-name"' which is exactly what I was trying to change in the first place.
Can anyone explain why is happening and/or how I might fix it please? Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. I am aware of some other solutions to this such as using aliases in Terminal to avoid typing out the Exec name all the time but I would really prefer to just change the the name. Also I have tried restarting my computer and rebundling the entire AppleScript app from scratch in order to get the app to run under the correct name but I have had no success.

Sherry,
I've had similar problems in the past, and it usually ends up being that FORMSnn_PATH contains a directory with an older version of the form in it. Alternatively, I have found that if the "new" form is invoked from a form that I already have open, then the O/S seems to use a cached version of the target form. Exiting Forms and re-running the app sometimes helps.
Hope this is of some use.

  • KSLD how to specify kernel name when run ksld command on host

    I am trying to use KSLD v1.0 and I could not reproduce similar result shown on KSLD User Guide. I followed almost everything on KSLD User Guide except I don't know how to specify kernel name when running ksld command. Here is what I have tried.
    #ksld -t debug /ksld-space/slo8/proto/root_sparc/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix 99
    I can only get unix and krtld read in. (ksld_dbx)modules could not show any modules *.o
    When I use this
    #ksld -t debug /ksld-space/slo8/proto/root_sparc/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/genunix 99
    then I can only read on genunix.
    Example on KSLD User Guide use unix.281, what is unix.281 created or obtained from target.
    I noticed some SUN Tachnical Support Guru are online to answer questions, thank you for your quick reply.

  • Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

    Guru's
    We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
    The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
    Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
    A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
    The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
    Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
    Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Essbase Server
    Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Framework Services, FR Print Services
    We have tried doing the following:
    1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
    2.  Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
          - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
    3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
    4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
    NETDELAY 2000
    NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
    Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
    Thanx

    Hi Rahul
    The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
    We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
    Thanks

  • Changed File Name but reverts to original file name when exported or copied

    I created a folder of 150 photos for a video montage and numbered them all by editing the file name. When I export (or copy and paste) the images to a folder on my desktop, the files all revert back to their original file names. Any ideas?

    In iPhoto what you see originally is the file name as the title. Any changes to it remain in iPhoto unless you export out with the appropriate options to either same the title with the file and/or use the title as the file name.
    When you export the photos via the File->Export->File Export menu option there's a File Name drop down menu at the bottom from which you can select Use Title. That will give you the Titles you changed as the new file name.

  • How to revert to old site name and link?

    I just created a disaster. I had several videos pages published and the ugly links are connected to an email autoresponder. I recently tried to clean up the title of the links from within iWeb by changing the default site name and the result was the URL for the links on each page were changed. Now the old links to the site doesn't work cuz the links are different cuz of the new site name. How can I revert back to the old name of the site so my old backlinks to the site work?

    Change the site name back to the original in iWeb and then republish the whole site.

  • TS1389 Similar problem with our iPad.  Apps purchased with "old" USR name that is not an email address can not be updated.  Free Apps update OK, but purchased ones show box asking for the non-email USR ID which Apple no longer recognizes.  HELP

    Have tried to get Apple Tech Support and local Apple techs to deal with this problem to no avail.  Apple store "genius" throws up hands and says nothing can be done.  Root of the problem seems to be that the old non-email AppleID is stuck in their system creating a catch22 that it appears as the account purchasing Apps, then is not recognized as a valid ID, and then disallows any attempt to change it to a recognized email address.
    Consequence is that Apps appropriately purchased can not be updated.  Apple store advises us to delete them and repurchase, but this seems more Windowsian than Applian.  Any Ideas??

    Hello J_DougBC,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I found an article that addresses Apple IDs that are different than the Primary Email Address on the account.  You will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same."
    If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them.
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same." This will automatically unverify that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
    3. If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to your Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
    Note: If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.
    You can find the full article here:

    I hope this helps get you back on track!

  • Apps reverting to old versions.

    My iPhone 5 automatically updates applications but once they've finished downloading they revert to their old version?
    Also my emails will not delete, they keep on re-syncing not matter how many times I put them in the trash. I'm talking thousands of emails from over a year ago.
    What could be causing these issues?

    Rolling back to previous versions of iOS is not supported.
    Regardless, doing so cannot fix a SIM card not supported message.
    Try the basic troubleshooting of reset, restart, restore.  If none of those resolve the issue, then either the SIM card is bad/failed/not supported or the SIM card reader in the device has failed.

  • Error 10810 when running applescript remotely

    So "final" product here. I'm no applescripter so my code is probably inefficient. As such I keep running into a -10810 error and from my googling and research I think it's a runaway process (or a few of them) created by this script. I run it through Casper remote. It's a compiled script for compatibility with Casper Remote. Running as a standalone app (or as a compiled script on the local desktop) it works just fine. It's only through Casper Remote that I get this error and only sometimes. The script works even when no one is logged in. Casper Remote runs as an admin and forces sudo when it needs to.
    Any ideas as to what might be causing the failure? The script fails very quickly when it does. It certainly does not get to the point where it gathers all apps on the computer.
    TIA!

    So AS can't get the physical size of the folder it finds. I think I know the reason though. The script lists the contents of the Work volume in this snippet:
    set workPath to "Work" --we are only looking for partition "Work"
              tell application "System Events"
                        if workPath is in (get the name of every disk) then -- list all partitions and check for "Work." If found, set folderList to the contents of Work
                                  set folderList to list folder workPath without invisibles
    else if
    ... stuff ...
    end if
    end tell
    Then later I have it doing this:
    else if aFolder does not contain "Users" then
                                  tell application "System Events"
                                                 set folderSize to (physical size of aFolder) div 1024
                                  end tell
                                  set totalSize to totalSize + folderSize
      write aFolder & " - " & CalcFolderSize(folderSize) & " " & KBMBGB(folderSize) & "

    tell application "System Events"
              set folderSize to (physical size of aFolder) div 1024
    end tell
    and got the right result. So I think that I can't get the size because it is not showing the path to each of these items, just the name of them. Is there a way to set a variable to the path to each of the items it finds? I think then it'll get the sizes right....
    Thanks!

  • I recently changed my apple id and both my iphone 3Gs and Ipad 2 when synced went straight back to my old id name for my app store how do I change it to the new one and keep it that way?

    Try going into your account details on iTunes, change your info there, then sync your devices.

  • Computer Name Reverting to Old Name

    I have a Mac Mini running Server and use it for Profile Manager, File Sharing, Time Machine, VPN, DNS, and Open Directory.
    There are about 20 machines setup on this domain and I ran into an issue with a MacBook I wiped and am trying to use for a different user. I wiped the HDD and reloaded Mavericks. I can join the domain and enroll the machine for the new user just fine.
    However, once enrolled, the name of the computer is changed (and grayed out) back to the name that was used for the last user.
    Because I wiped it and I can change it when it's not on the domain, I know it's coming from the network / serer. But I can't figure out how to fix it.
    If I take it off of the domain and delete the profiles that were loaded, I can change it back and it will stick.
    If I force a change on the machine itself, logging out and back in reverts it to the old computer name.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    It seems that the server is binding to the MAC address and thus changes the name of the computer once connected to the network. So, you could change the MAC address; however, you need to be a super user to do that. Bear in mind the computer has two MAC addresses, one for the Ethernet and the other airport. Also, you would need to do it in Terminal...sudo ifconfig en0 ether 00:01:02:03:04:05 --example.

    hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
    Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
    Thanks

    com/kb/HT2411: Your camera can be used by only one application at a time.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Can you "debug" a form when running on the App. Server?

    We recently got a project to do defect fixing of a Oracle Forms 10g application.
    They have given us each developer a VM with an app. server, source code etc.
    Problem is, we cannot run the form using the Form Builder.
    They want us to always make changes to the form, deploy in the app. server and run the form using the Application Menu.
    Problem is, how can we do line-by-line debugging in a situation like this?
    Normally, we would press the "Run form debug" button to run the form in Forms developer in debug mode.
    What is the solution?
    Should we ask the owners to give us permission to run the form from Developer?
    Or, is there way to do debugging a form when running from app. server?

    So Craig, why is it prompting me with a File Open dialog box when it tries to run a DB procedure?
    What does the Forms debugger supposed to do? Run it and bring back result?
    Because Forms doesn't know how to load the object so it is prompting you to open it.  However, since the Forms debugger can't read the source of the database program unit (procedure, package, function) - you can't debug it from Forms.  At least, I've never been able to do it and I've tried making Forms open a source file for a database program unit.  It basically boils down to the fact that Oracle Forms can only debug objects that are within the scope of the Forms runtime/builder and database program units are not contained within the Forms objects (eg; Forms binary, PL/SQL Library or Menu Module binary).  I recommend you "Step-Over" any call to a database program unit when you encounter them in the Forms debugger.  The database program unit will take longer than normal to run, but it will eventually finish and take you to the next line of code to be executed.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Getting the variant name when the report program is run in background

    Hi All,
    How to get the variant name for the report program when run in background? My requirement is to create an email attachement with the name 'variant.XLS', where variant = selection screen variant, when the report program is run in background. The system field SY-SLSET holds the variant name only when run online.
    Any pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Nilesh.

    Hello Nilesh,
    Please find the algo:
    1. Call the FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO to get the background job details.
    2. Select data from TBTCP using these details:
    DATA:
    FP_EVENTID   TYPE BTCEVENTID
    FP_EVTPARM   TYPE BTCEVTPARM
    FP_ACTIVE    TYPE BTCXPGFLAG
    FP_JOBCNT    TYPE BTCJOBCNT
    FP_JOBNM     TYPE BTCJOB
    FP_STEPCNT   TYPE BTCSTEPCNT.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
        IMPORTING
          EVENTID                 = FP_EVENTID
          EVENTPARM               = FP_EVTPARM
          EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE = FP_ACTIVE
          JOBCOUNT                = FP_JOBCNT
          JOBNAME                 = FP_JOBNM
          STEPCOUNT               = FP_STEPCNT
        EXCEPTIONS
          NO_RUNTIME_INFO         = 1
          OTHERS                  = 2.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    *   Error calling FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
      ENDIF.
    DATA: FP_VARIANT TYPE BTCVARIANT.
      SELECT JOBNAME JOBCOUNT STEPCOUNT VARIANT
      FROM   TBTCP
      INTO TABLE L_IT_TBTCP
      WHERE  JOBNAME   = FP_JOBNM
      AND    JOBCOUNT  = FP_JOBCNT
      AND    STEPCOUNT = FP_STEPCNT.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        SORT L_IT_TBTCP BY JOBNM JOBCNT STEPCNT.
        READ TABLE L_IT_TBTCP INTO L_WA_TBTCP INDEX 1.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          FP_VARIANT = L_WA_TBTCP-VARIANT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    Hope this helps.
