ARD logout without saving

I'm currently using ARD3.2 and doing some research into logging out users disregarding unsaved work or quit confirmation prompts from applications. I've been trying to do this via applescript, unix, etc. but was wondering if it was possible with ARD.
I came across two separate support articles that seem to contradict with each other
This one says that ARD3.0 allows you to choose a type of logout, one that cancels the logout if there's any unsaved work and another that forces a logout:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC355.html
The other one says that there is only one (logout canceled if there's unsaved work):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC870.html
What's the deal? currently i dont have the option to choose what kind of logoff. I'm an ARD newbie, so not sure if it was changed after a software update or not. Would something like that change so drastically if it's not a version update?!
Also, If anyone has any suggestions as to how i can accomplish a "force" logout of the current user disregarding unsaved data... please i beg you, enlighten me!

Might I ask why you don't just use the Log Out Current User command under the Manage menu? Are you trying to build this logout into another, more complex script? If you are trying to include this in a script, I don't know of any clean way to accomplish this without the wait time. There are messy ways that involve killing the user process

but I'm not sure I'd recommend that as a regular practice.

  • Display image in JPanel without saving any file to disk

    Hi,
    I am fetching images from database. I am saving this image, display in JPanel and delete it. But this is not actually I want.
    I wish to fetch this image as stream , store in memory and display in JPanel without saving any fiel in disk.
    I wonder if it is Possible or any used implementation that I can use in my project. Any idea or experienced knowledge is enough.
    Thanks

    In what format is the image coming to you from the database? If it's an InputStream subclass, just use javax.imageio.ImageIO:
    InputStream in = getImageInputStream();
    BufferedImage image = null;
    try {
       image = ImageIO.read(in);
    } finally {
       in.close();
    // ... Display image in your JPanel as you have beenIf you receive the image as an array of bytes, use the same method as above, but with a ByteArrayInputStream:
    byte[] imageData = getImageData();
    ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData);
    BufferedImage image = null;
    try {
       image = ImageIO.read(in);
    } finally {
       in.close();
    // ... Display image in your JPanel as you have been

  • Close Excel com object without saving changes?

    Hi, I am trying to write a script which opens each of 31 excel workbooks, retrieves a value from a cell, and closes each workbook after retrieving.
    My code so far:
    $day=1
    $excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
    $excel.Visible=$True
    $workbook= $excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Path|to\File\1_"+$day+"_14.xlsx")
    $workbook.sheets.item(1).activate()
    $WorkbookTotal=$workbook.Worksheets.item(1)
    $value = $WorkbookTotal.Cells.Item(7,13)
    $value.Text #this should give you back the Value in that Cell
    $excel.close()
    My problem is that when the code hits the $excel.close() method, the file stays open, and prompts for saving changes.  I don't know why it thinks there are changes, but what I want is to close the workbook without saving changes.
    I've just closed 44 open browser tabs, and have tried many things over the last hour, but can't seem to get this one.
    If anyone has any advice on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi,
    Please replace below code:
    $excel.close()
    with
    $workbook.close($false)
    $excel.quit()
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to use Thunderbird without saving e-mails to PC. How is this possible?

    I want to use Thunderbird without saving any e-mail to local folder in my PC.
    Can you please help me on this?
    thanks.

    There are two types - POP and IMAP
    You would need to logon to your webmail account using a browser and select the option to use IMAP forwarding - assuming that option is available.
    Pop mail accounts can only access the server Inbox.
    Emails are downloaded to your computer and stored in your Thunderbird Profile folder. So this type may not suit your requirements.
    IMAP mail accounts offer a remote view of folders and emails stored on the server.
    You subscribe to see those folders. Then Headers are downloaded and when you select to view an email, the email is downloaded to a temp cache.
    Subscribed folders that are synchronised, download a copy of the folder and store it in your Thunderbird Profile. But these folders are constantly updated to reflect what is stored on the server.
    So your best option would be to create IMAP mail account, subscribe to see folders on the server, but do not select to synchronise those subscribed folders.
    Emails stored in your Thunderbird Profile on your computer load faster than those that have to be retrieved from the server each time.
    Info on synchronising, so you can see how to enable/disable.

  • Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

    Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again?  My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract.  I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

    HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
    If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
    If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X  Mavericks.app"; see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
    Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

  • How can I get Firefox to directly open a file (like a torrent) without saving it at all

    It seems that up until about 3 months ago - I could get firefox to download a file and open it directly without saving it to any particular place. This is particulary useful for downloading say a torrent or, for that matter, any other file I wish to use within another program but do not need to save the file.
    Now I have to download the file, chose where it will be saved, open the folder click on the file, and then delete the now un-needed file. A huge hassle.
    I am sure I could do this until a few months ago. For some reason I cannot now.
    Please help

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • How do I print Mail attachment without saving it first

    I'm new to Mavericks.  With Mail in Lion, I could scroll to the bottom of an email and double click on the icon for the Word doc or pdf attachment to open it, then hit command P to print it. With Mavericks, it appears that I have to first "save" the document somewhere and then open it and print it. Is this correct?
    In most cases, this is an extra step that is unnecessary.
    Right now, the attachment displays (opened) within the email, but I don't want to print several pages of an email when all I want is to print the attached doc, for instance, an attached invoice. Also, I can't tell what kind of document it is without saving it, which I don't like. I've tried to find a way around this in preferences but no luck.
    I guess what I'd really prefer is to go back to the old Lion version of Mail, or something that approximates it more closely. Do I need to just get over it and realize that I'm going to have to save every attachment if I want to print it or is there a workaround of some sort?

    Hi tbirdvet. Even though the content of the attachment now displays as part of the email message, I tried clicking on that portion of the email and, sure enough, the "attachment" popped up in Preview, just like you said. (I kept looking for a Word doc icon or a pdf icon to double click on, but they're no longer found at the bottom of the email or selectable from a drop down menu.)
    I'm so glad this worked. Thanks.

  • .PDF files will not open without saving first

    Since downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on 5/20/14 .pdf files will not open without saving them first. I want .pdf files to open first BEFORE I save them (using Windows 7 and Firefox 30.0)

    Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

  • I would like to open attachments without saving them. Is there a way to do that in Firefox like in IE ?

    It is nice to open an attachment without saving it to a specific location. I am used to doing this with Internet Explorer. However,
    it does not seem that I can do that with Firefox. Is that true or am I missing something ?

    Goto Options > Applications > Click on 'Action' of the file that you want to change the properties of to: Save File/Always Ask or choose a program to open it with.
    Click OK to save.

  • Is it possible to insert a PDF directly(ie from Share Point) to email (Outlook) without saving it?

    Is it possible to insert a PDF directly(ie from Share Point) to email (Outlook) without saving it?
    I open several docs on Sharepoint that I need to send out immediately and waste a lot of time saving it to my computer and than opening an email and attaching it and than deleting the file bc I don't need it - its already on Sharepoint where I can access it. 

    I have the exact same problem.  I used to could do it without saving until I upgraded to a new version.  I cannot figure out how to send it without saving.

  • Is it possible to combine multiple pdf's into one without saving them onto your computer?

    Hello
    I open pdf's in an application (no add ons for acrobat exist), and want to combine them without having to use time on saving them before merging them into one single document.
    Is it possible to do this without having the files saved onto your computer? I use acrobat x pro.

    I dont think you understand my question. Of course Adobe reader cant combine pdf's, if it could I would not have had to purchase Adobe acrobat.
    The problem I am trying to solve is how to combine pdf files when they are not opened/saved locally on my computer.
    If I make Acrobat the standard program for opening pdf files on my computer - then will it be possible to combine the files that are opened without saving them first?
    I dont have the program installed on my computer now, and have to know this before we purchase it.
