Applescirpt for (Closing) and Application Window

I have Extensis Suitcase as one of my startup items, when it starts up I always close its window but leave the application running.
Is there a way I can write a script that will open Suitcase, then close its window?
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
activate
"something to close the window here"
end tell

Maybe the following would work? (Suitcase not auto-hiding like it should?)
Save the script as an Application by choosing that choice from the "File Format" popup menu. Uncheck all of the Options, and then click Save.
tell application "System Events"
    set applist to name of every application process
    if applist contains "Extensis Suitcase X1" then
        set visible of application process "Extensis Suitcase X1" to false
    end if
end tell
I'm pretty sure that when you attempt to close the Suitcase window, Suitcase just hides itself rather than closing the window.
Hope this helps.....

    Closing the window doesn't quit the application on Mac like it does in Windows. You have to select Quit (Program Name) from the top menu or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Q

    Have you tried a hard reset yet to see if that makes a difference?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take a couple of tries.

  • Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications?

    Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications? I do have some experience with industrial machine control programming. Not that it directly applies, however I have been involved in some types of programming.

    You might start by reading this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/feb/10/gameculture-apple
    I would check out the refurbished section of the online Apple Store before buying a used one from Craislist. They go quickly so you have to check often. It will be more than sufficent for you to work with.
    There are more than a few such books, go to a book store near you and browse them yourself to see which one works for you.
    For items 3 and 4 wait until you are ready for a commercial app and then seek help from a lawyer and an accountant.

  • Agents for database and application servers

    hi all,
    I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
    rgds
    alan

    When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
    To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.

  • New Blog for SOA and Application server,BPEL

    Hi Everyone,
    I have created a New Blog for SOA and Application server and BPEL and i would like everyone to have a look at it and give me some comments on it like what is the other information i can keep which can help us all etc....
    You can visit it at http://oraclefusionmiddleware.blogspot.com

    Oracle Application Server consists of Oracle HTTP and OC4J servers which deploys J2EE-based applications.
    Integration server manages all communication, process interactions, Data Transactions among different systems and applications. Oracle integration server consists of all the SOA elements (BPEL, ESB, Business Rules, and OWSM)
    when you want to deploy Java applications then you will deploy to Application Server.When you want to deploy BPEL,ESB Process you will use integraion server(BPEL Server,ESB Server).
    Integration server is just the web server which connects to application server which helps in administrating and managing different applications as a whole

    Hi,
    I dont think that you can code to close IE browser window as you cannot access MS IE APIs in WD ABAP. I looked into closing IE browser and got http://p2p.wrox.com/general-net/16588-handling-ie-close-event.html . reading this, it seems the coding can be done in C#(asp) etc.
    also refer Closing of IE window
    I hope this is useful for you.

  • How to have one centeral management console for DB and Application server?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I read in several places that ORACLE provide facilitis that help developers to have one centeral console to manage Application server / Database and what ever oracle products.
    I want to know that, when i have Oracle 10g r2 and Application server 10.1.3.1 installed, how i can use that centeral management console?
    is it some other application that i should install ?
    or it is just some more configuration?
    thanks

    What you are looking for is called Grid Control.
    You will need the Grid Control Agent installed on each server that has products from Oracle's technology stack installed (database, web server, app server, etc). You will also need install the Grid Control software and repository.
    You can download Grid Control from the following link:

  • What goes where when using separate drives for data and applications?

    Hello people!
    In Mac Guru's "Guide to Macintosh Performance Acceleration" it states " Separating your "User" data from the Operating System and Applications is the simplest and most cost effective way to enjoy a significant performance boost at
    minimal cost"...
    Now how exactly do I do that?
    I have a 40 GB HD with Panther on it and a 55 GB drive I want to use for the "data" drive. What goes where?
    Thanks for reading!

    Hello Danny:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I disagree with the premise in that article - "significant" is relative and depends on where you are. The only method I am aware of to "separate" would be to create partitions. OS X uses sophisticated algorithms to manage memory - both real and virtual. There are very few good reasons to partition an internal HD - and several that suggest you should not do that - absent a "good" reason.

  • SSIS - pass variables to Data Manager for Appset and Application name

    Hi folks,
    I'm building an SSIS package, and I can't work out how to set the Appset and Application names in the Convert Task item - I have created the item, and the variables, but I can't work out how to reference the two.
    Any tips or help greatly appreciated - this is one of the worst-documented pieces of software I've ever seen!
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi,
    Please refer to the other SSIS packages already created. We need not set these parameters while creating the SSIS package. When we link the SSIS to DM package, we can dynamically send the appset name and the application names.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a pratical size limit for an Air application window?

    I'm brand new to creating Air applications. I started to design a utility in Flash CS4 for my own use. I had originally intended for it to be a simple SWF, but decided to make an Air app as an experiment, and to perhaps share it with others in the future.
    Basically, the application allows the use to drag-resize a box to measure the pixel dimensions of an area onscreen (photo, Windows window, etc.) I wanted to allow it to be resized to any dimensions up to the size of the screen. The chrome is custom and mostly transparent with some alpha for the box to overlay on whatever you're measuring. However, I've run into a few problems, the primary one being that I cannot set the app to run maximized to the screen size and allow any graphics to extend beyond the dimensions of the stage in the source FLA (it all gets clipped at the edges of the stage). I decided to forget about this and just set a maximum size of the stage. So, what was originally a box that you could stretch out to any dimensions, can now only be resized to the upper limit I set (preferrably 1600px X 900px).
    Annoyingly, I've found that any stage size in the source FLA beyond 1500px X 850px causes the Air app to respond very slowly. At sizes below that, the app responds very quickly, as if it were a windowed SWF. My question is, is there a practical upper limit to the size of an Air app window? I mean, if I have an Air app with a window size of 1500px X 850px that can be resized without any perceived lag, why does the window resizing slow down so dramatically by just increasing those dimensions by 1px?

    These factors that determine the minimum and maximum width and height of a window:
    The minimum and maximum operating system limits, which are the values of the systemMinSize and systemMaxSize properties of the        NativeWindow object
    The maximum width and height of a window in Adobe AIR, which are each 2880 pixels
    The minimum width and height required by any displayed system chrome
    The minSize and maxSize properties of the NativeWindow object
    I cannot address the performance problems you are experiencing. I hope someone else can comment.

  • Html code for closing the browser window on logoff.

  • Finder and application windows, become inactive after a few seconds

    I just finished restoring a G4 from a disk crash, installed new disk drive and a clean OS X 10.3.9. Than I restored the user's home directory and all end user applications. I am not exactly sure when I noticed this behavior, but I performed the basic troubleshooting steps below already :
    • Removed any third party System Control panel
    • AppleJack complete routine
    • Removed Finder plist
    • Switched to another user, with same result
    • Booted up in SAFE MODE, no change either
    • Reviewed system logs and other logs, and found no hint to his problem
    • Monitored Activity Viewer for unknown services running
    About every 15 seconds, the foremost window becomes grayed out/inactive. Clicking on it makes it active again, and if you start typing anything, it will not complete, due to the window going inactive again.
    I have researched the net, but found not similar issue reported.
    So if anyone can shed some light on this, short of re-installing the OS, it would make my long day or night by now.
    Thanks in advance.
