Applications in the background

Hi,
On my tablet,
I installed a few applications that can run in the background.
I understand that they only work that app can display status
on the lock screen, and why?
It is only 7 app, my phone with
windows phone has more applications running
in the background.
Can i addsomething more apps?

I use a
tablet Colorovo Supreme Citytab

the status on the lock screen send me
notifications.

[Desktop][Running] Running Spotify Application in the Background...

Think it would be very convenient if we could run the Spotify application in the background. I remember it used to be an option under "Edit>Preferences..." before a certain update removed it... O.o

Updated: 2015-06-21Hello!
With "running in the background" do you mean minimize to system tray?
If so, version 1.0.7 added that option again.
Please check under Menu => Edit => Preferences => Startup and Window Behaviour => Close button should...
Or did you mean something else?

How to run an application in the background when iMac starts up?

Hi,
I installed TextExpander a couple of months back. It normally runs in the background and doesn't appear in my list of running applications when I cycle through them with Cmd+Tab. This is how I like it.
Of late though, TextExpander starts up when I switch on my machine, but it now appears as an application running in the foreground; if I Cmd+Tab through my running applications, TextExpander is listed among them.
I'd prefer if I did not see it when switching between applications.
I've tried restarting the machine, but to no avail. Also, there is nothing in the preferences to run in the background.
(Possibly unrelated: I don't recall doing anything in particular that might have caused this change in behaviour, but I have noticed recently that TextExpander has found an 'older version' and is asking me if I want to remove it. I don't remember updating it to a newer version, and I don't believe I have it set to auto-update.)
Can anyone explain how I can make it run in the background? I'd be very grateful.
Thanks and best regards,
Ken.

To run your app as a daemon (if you are really sure it can) check the app's preferences panel, there should be sometthing like "show in dock".
A little embarrassing, but +there is+ an option within TextExpander's preferences to "Hide TextExpander icon in Dock". Don't know how I missed it. I checked the preferences on two separate occasions! Feeling a little morto'ed.
In any case, to confirm what I've done:
-Within System Preferences > Accounts > Login items tab, I have selected the "hide" checkbox for TextExpander.
-Within TextExpander's preferences, I selected the "Hide TextExpander icon in Dock" checkbox.
TextExpander still runs, but doesn't appear in the Dock or in the list of running applications (that I can switch between with Cmd+Tab).
Result!
Tx for your help.

Running a Java application on the background

How can I run an applet on the background ? (UNIX and Windows)
Thanks!!

Running "in the background" is not really relvent on Windows as CMD[1] does not have this functionallty (that I know of) and you normally execute appliucations in the GUI, unless you are talking about making it a service, running when the user logs off (nohup in UNIX, Windows Services in windows), if thats what you are after, NT JAVA +Service in google.
[1] If you use a diffrent shell, such as Cygwin you can get this functionallity under Windows.

Minimizing and running applications in the background

I'm writing an app that I want to run in the background, executing a job every time period. My question is how do I minimize the JFrame so that is goes into the System tray(Y'know where you find the Volume control, PPP modem connection icon, etc...)
I know it can be done because LimeWire does it, but I don't see anything obvious in the docs how it was done. Help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

You can use the JTray API (Java System Tray API For
Windows) that can be found at http://www.JavaAPIs.com.
It supports several image types, animation, and
display of AWT and Swing Components as pop-ups. I always find it rather annoying when people scour past posts to promote a product that they have a vested interest in.
Especially when they don't point out that that they have such an interest.
Especially when they don't point out that the interest is monetary.
Especially when they do nothing but post ads - never actually answering a single question.
Just me I suppose.

Trying to run application in the background

Hello there,
I have written a small app using Apple Script. From the editor I have saved it as application and would like to run it as a background process. That is, I don't want it to show in the list of active applications I can switch to when I press command-tab. It does not matter if it is displayed in the dock or not. What I want to avoid is that every time that I switch to a different application that windowless application is also listed. By the way, I'm launching the application as a start up application and I have selected to hide the application, but it does not help, so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. Any advise will be appreciated.
MV

01. Save the AppleScript code as an 'Application Bundle', via 'Script Editor's 'File, Save As...' menu items' 'File Format:' popup buttons' 'Application Bundle' menu item.
02. In 'Finder' - '<control>' click (or right click, if using a multiple button mouse) on your just saved 'Application Bundle' application, and select the 'Show Package Contents' menu item. A window containing a folder 'Contents' will appear.
03. Double click on the 'Contents' folder. A Window, titled 'Contents' will appear.
04. Using 'Property List Editor' (installed when installing 'Xcode') open the file 'Info.plist'. A window titled 'Info.plist' will appear.
05. Click on the disclosure triangle (which is pointing to the right) to the left of 'Root'. The disclosure triangle will point down, and the contents of 'Root' displayed.
06. Click on 'Root'; the 'New Sibling' button will be renamed 'New Child' and will become enabled ... or ... Click on any item below 'Root'; the 'New Sibling' will become enabled.
07. Click on the 'New Child' or 'New Sibling' button.
08. Enter 'LSUIElement' (without the single quote marks), and then press either the '<tab>' or '<return>' key. The entry may jump to a new position.
09. Locate the 'LSUIElement' entry row (listing), and under the 'Value' column click twice, enter '1' (without the single quote marks), and finally press the '<return>' key.
You should now see (under 'Property' 'Class' 'Value' respectively) ...
LSUIElement String 1
10. Close the 'Info.plist' window. A drop down sheet will appear. Click on the 'Save' button.
11. Quit 'Property List Editor'.

How to start an application in the background using "oscmd" on windows

Is there any way to launch a windows application using oscmd without suspending xmath?
From a "cmd" window one can use the start command:
> start notepad
Which starts the application without suspending the "cmd" window.
From xmath command line, one may use:
> oscmd("start notepad")
This starts the application. However, the user cannot interact with xmath as long as the application is running.
Thanks

Hi Farshid,
There is a command in the Shell API of Windows that runs an executable:
#include <utility.h>
#include <ansi_c.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    int res;
    if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
        return -1;    /* out of memory */
    HINSTANCE stuff;
    stuff = ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "notepad.exe", NULL,NULL, SW_SHOW);
    printf("%i",stuff);
    return 0;
You can build a similar program into an executable and since the Parent
executable will finish executing, control will return to XMath even
while notepad is still open.

Run Automator in the background without status bar icon

Hello,
I hope this is the right place and thank you in advance for the help.
I am trying to run an Automator App in the background without running in the status bar as it takes the focus from the current application that I am working in. Is there a way to do this? Some Google Fu stats that I can make some changes to the info.plist of the package contents of the application by changing the LSUIElement. However when I follow those instructions, I am still unable to run the application in the background completely.
For what it is worth, I am running a brand new Mac Mini with Yosemite. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide any more detail.
Cheers!

Items from various actions such as Ask for Finder Items or Get Selected Finder Items can be passed to the Run Shell Script action. Saving the workflow as an application will run it without launching Automator.
A file with a .php extension would be associated with whatever application created it (or a default application that can handle HTML files). A Unix Executable File isn't seen as an "application" by the system, so you will need to call it directly with your parameters.

Can I design a web page to use the background image from the user's installed persona?

I build web applications, and I would like to have an application use the background image from whatever persona the visitor has installed, if any. Is this possible, using css/js/html?

No that is not possible with code on web pages (userContent.css could probably do this).<br />
The persona is only used as the background for the user interface (toolbar) area and not for websites.<br />
The dimensions of the persona with the height of 200px is also not enough to cover a page.

How do I turn off applications operating in the background

I used to be able to turn off applications operating in the background. Since the last software update, I can't do it.

Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the home button again to return to normal screen.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.
Regards
Dirk
