"at" command line broken in 10.10.3? I get "at: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted"

After updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I notice that I can't use the "at" command from the command line in my account. I get the error:
at: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted
It does seem to work if I sudo, but I have some scripts which I don't want to change.
I don't need to do this very often, so something else other than the 10.10.3 update may have triggered this problem.
Solution?

Linc,
I tried creating the at.allow file, and it didn't help. It still gives me the same error message. Any other ideas?

DNG converter 4.5, command line broken

Hi,
The command line feature of the DNG converter appears to be broken on the latest version (4.5).
Version 4.4.1 still functions OK...
Anyone got a clue?
Greetings,
Auke

Yes there is a problem with 4.5, I is using it togheter with Downloader Pro and have recieved this from the developer:
It appears to be a bug in Adobe's DNG Converter: the -o command line option appears to be broken. This document lists the command line options: http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/pd...ommandline.pdf
If you type in the same command line options as DLPro's plug-in is using in a "Command Prompt" window Adobe's DNG Converter fails to create the DNG file using the pathname specified using the -o option. As far as I can see -o works if the output filename is specified but fails if a full pathname including the directory is used.
Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about this as the problem is caused by a bug in Adobe's software.

Command line transfer of TM backup to Time Capsule

I have just purchased a new 3TB Time Capsule to replace my ailing 750GB Firewire drive as my Time Machine Backup drive. However, the 750GB drive has none TM files on it, that I do not want to transfer to the new Time Capsule (see details below)
file://localhost/Volumes/LaCie%20BackUp/Backups.backupdb/
file://localhost/Volumes/LaCie%20BackUp/IBM%20DDRS-39130D%20Media/
file://localhost/Volumes/LaCie%20BackUp/Orphans%20Folder/
file://localhost/Volumes/LaCie%20BackUp/Files%20from%20Server/
The reason I am doing it this way is also because my old drive occassionaly goes into a 'pause' that requires me to disconnect it from my MacBook Pro and reconnect it to try again. Thus I need to be able to transfer my backup files in smaller chunks than a whole disk image would entail, so that if the drive stops, I can pick up from the point of failure and carry on rather than start from scratch again.
Only the Backups.backupdb needs to be transferred to the Time Capsule, so I don't want to use Disk Utility and have been trying to copy the relevant backup directories using Terminal and the 'cp' command as SuperUser. However, I am finding that even so I am getting error messages back stating 'Operation not permitted', mainly to do with cp trying to run 'lchmod'.
I have read the existing FAQ article https://discussions.apple.com/message/11422415#5 and have all the correct journaling settings, etc. and the data seems to be transferring fine. Just not sure yet if I will have fully functional backups when I have finished.
Any command line help such as using the appropriate flags, etc. would be helpful.
Thanks, Russ

Pondini's notes are quite useful and I tried using SuperDuper and Disk Utility. I transferred my backups from my old 750GB Firewire400 backup drive to my new 3TB Time Capsule using both of them. Each time I tried, the transfer took to an inordinately long time - it failed any time up to a maximum of 18 hours from starting, the best only achieved about 90% transfer!
Also, I discovered by monitoring my MacBook's performance with Activity Monitor that both these programs are CPU intensive and indicated between 150% to 200% activity (both CPUs virtually maxed out), mostly with Finder activity. This was the limiting factor in the transfer and the process was achieving peak Disk I/O and network transfer rates of 10MB/s. The MacBook's fans were running full-blast during this time just trying to keep the thing cool!
I eventually found the most efficient method to transfer backups by reading through some of the Unix command manual pages and discovered Apple Software Restore (ASR). This command is used as the underlying tool by both SuperDuper and Disk Utility and does all the actual work. The final transfer tool less than 7 hours.
Network Transfer Rate 36MB/s (sustained)
Disk I/O Rate 52MB/s (peak), >32MB/s (sustained)
CPU activity 20% (peak), <15% (typical)
Main process is 'diskimages-helper'
The reason it works much better is that only the essential work is being done and that the command allows you to alter the buffer size to make it more efficient for the larger file transfer method. The whole transfer was therefore limited purely by the maximum transfer speed of the Firewire 400 drive itself. So here is how I did it using terminal:
$ su
Password:
[change to superuser so you don't have problems with passwords and permissions, etc.]
sh-3.2# nice -n -20 asr restore --source <source drive> --target <target drive> --erase --noprompt --allowfragmentedcatalog --buffers 8 --buffersize 64m --noverify
Validating target...done
Validating source...done
Repartitioning target device...done
Warning: You may not be able to start up a computer with the target volume.
Validating sizes...done
Restoring ....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100
Remounting target volume...done
After mounting the resulting Time Capsule BackUp, it had the name of my old drive, which confused me somewhat, so I simply renamed it in the Finder.
Explanation:
The 'nice -n -20' command tells the OS X kernal to prioritise the commands that follow by giving them preferential access to CPU time (kind of like putting go-faster-stripes on).
The <source drive> is selected by dragging the drive icon onto the terminal window.
The <target drive> has to have been created first by running an initial Time Machine Backup on the Time Capsule, which creates the .sparsebundle directory. Once this is created, stop Time Machine, then use the finder to log onto the Time Capsule and double click the .sparsebundle file. This will mount a disk called 'Time Capsule Backup'. Drag this image onto the terminal window as the target drive.
--erase removes any other stuff on the target drive and matches the journaling to the source drive
--noprompt stops you getting "do you want to continue? messages
--allowfragmentedcatalog ensures the directory catalogue on the source drive is read as is
--buffers 8 the default is 8, but I tried it with different numbers of buffers, but it didn't affect transfer speeds much
--buffersize 64m this made the most difference as the default is 1MB. Changing the buffer size makes the biggest impact as large file transfers work better when you give them large buffers.
--noverify - I used this as the transfer itself takes so long that I wasn't really wanting to wait for it to verify as well. On the occasions that I left it to verify, that function operated at a VERY slow speed and would have taken more than 100 hours to complete. I did not have the patience to investigate as to why that was, but essentially the data transfer rate during that stage was <2MB/s. Whatever was causing it to run so slow was not limited by any resources on my MacBook Pro or the network connection, so I will let someone else work out what the issue was there.

/etc/profile: line 28: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Oper

Hi;
I writed one sh which is checking tablespace size and its working well ( i used this before for someother client) Now i try to run it on one server and i have this error:
/etc/profile: line 28: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted in /var/spool/mail/root
Anyone has idea what is problem?
Thanks

Well, check line 28 of /etc/profile, and see what command it is trying to execute. If it's a ulimit -l command, check if the value it is trying to set the limit to is higher than the current ulimit value of the current user. If it is, then that operation is not allowed. You can increase the limit for the current user (at login time) by modifying /etc/security/limits.conf . This is documented in the various guides, notes, whitepapers that talk about installing Oracle database on Linux.

Does Windows 7 come with a native uncompress (unzip) command-line tool?

Hi
Does Windows 7 come with a native uncompress (unzip) tool that can be run from the command-line?
I am looking for native uncompress solution so that users do not have to either provide a third-party Unzip tool or for me having to create a self-extraction file.
Thanks
Jeff in Seattle

OK so an update, on the 7-zip download page (http://7-zip.org/download.html) they have a specific command line version (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za920.zip).
It does not even contain a 7z.dll so I presume the poster above was jerry rigging the normal install version. The zip file contains 7za.exe and 7-zip.chm. The help files seems broken to me so I found the switches online, but I only could find them
on a japanese website, but it is english:
Syntax:
http://sevenzip.sourceforge.jp/chm/cmdline/syntax.htm
commands:
http://sevenzip.sourceforge.jp/chm/cmdline/commands/index.htm
Extract with full paths:
http://sevenzip.sourceforge.jp/chm/cmdline/commands/extract_full.htm
From the site:
Examples
7za.exe x archive.zip
extracts all files from the archive archive.zip to the current directory.
7za.exe x archive.zip -oc:\soft *.cpp -r
extracts all *.cpp files from the archive archive.zip to
c:\soft folder.

Can't run JavaFX app as a jar file from command line

I'm trying to build a JavaFX app from scratch (that is, by including the jar file from the JavaFX SDK rather than by using the special JavaFX project type from NetBeans). It runs fine in NetBeans. However, when I try to launch it as a jar file from the command line (using "java -jar dist\TestApp") I get the following. Has anybody seen this before, and if so how can I fix it?:
*** Fallback to Prism SW pipeline

Unsatisfied link means that Java is trying to access a native library, but it cannot be found. As to why this error is being thrown, here is my guess:
If you open up one of the sample jars with a zip viewer, you will see that the Manifest file has the following entries:
>
Manifest-Version: 1.0
JavaFX-Version: 2.0
implementation-vendor: Oracle
implementation-title: BrickBreaker
implementation-version: 1.0
JavaFX-Application-Class: brickbreaker.Main
Created-By: JavaFX Packager
Main-Class: com/javafx/main/Main
>
In other words, a JavaFX project works a bit differently than a normal Java project. com/javafx/main/Main is used as the Main class and your "Main" class is called later.
If you are trying to build this from a normal Java project, then com/javafx/main/Main will not be created and it will call your Main class right away. Thus, whatever setup is needed to run JavaFX will not occur.

How to set SAXParser at command-line interface to create a large XML file

Hi,
I am trying to create a large XML file (more than 50 MB) by selecting from Oracle database but failed because of "out of memory" error. According to "Oracle XML Developer Guide", we should use SAXParser to parsing a large XML file. But there is no example to show how to set SAXParser at command-line
Following is what I use to get xml files. It works only when the file is small.
java OracleXML getXML -DateFormat -withDTD -rowsetTag PO_HDR -conn
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@server_name" -user "ID/password" "select * from table_name"
When I set SAXParser at the way below,
java oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser OracleXML getXML -DateFormat -withDTD -rowsetTag PO_HDR -conn
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@server_name" -user "ID/password" "select * from table_name"
it failed with the error message: "In class oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser: void main(String argv[]) is not defined"
Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I'll be appreciated very much for your help.
Yi

here are my ideas.
register the xml schema.
using xmldom, generate the desired xml output and return as xmltype.
then you can use something like this to check.
declare
xmldoc xmltype ;
begin
   -- populate xmldoc from you xmldom function
   -- validate against XML schema
   xmldoc.isSchemaValid(schema_url, root_element);
   if xmldoc.isSchemaValid = 1 then
        --valid schema
   else
        --invalid
   end if;
end

Variable does not work for sqlplus (command line)

Here is an select:
variable x number;
variable y number;
variable a number;
define x = 2000;
define y = 2*1000;
define a = &x+&y;
select ener from adding where ener = &a;
When I execute it under SQL*Plus Worksheet (client installed on my PC) then I get output:
ENER
4000
1 row selected
When I execute this same under command line sqlplus (under unix shell) then I get output
old 1: select ener from adding where ener = &a
new 1: select ener from adding where ener = 2000+2*1000
no rows selected
What is worng ?

Nothing.
Sqlplus is correct and sql worksheet is buggy.
Define works with strings only. You cannot use it to calculate an expression.
Apparently sql worksheet did calculate the expression, and sqlplus didn't, submitting it as a string.
This is the expected behavior.
This behavior can likely vary by version, so thank you for not providing version info.
Will anything awful happen when you do, or is this just the lazyness epidemia in this forum?

MS TS RemoteApp Programs Command-line Parameters (%temp% or %appdata%)

Hello,
We are trying to get an in house Application published to the TS RemoteApp Programs. We are using a logon script that places the a cmd file in the users %temp% or %adddata%. We are using this so that there is no file locks that occur.
Then we wish to use the command-line parameter "Always use the following command-line parameters" as Local -t -c "%temp%\file.fp". However this is not successful. I have eliminated the %temp% with the temp directory path and the application
runs correctly.
It looks like to me that the environmental variable is not loading. Is there something that I can do for this to get this running?

Set audio on compressor using command line?

Anyone know how to supply the audio path using compressor on the command line?
Running compressor -help shows audio=/path/to/file but it's not too specific on how that looks in the actual command. I've tried every combination I can think of. Has anyone done this succussfully?
Thanks

When I try that format I don't get any response at the command line from compressor...it just exits. Here's my command:
compressor -clustername "Compressor" -batchname "test" -settingpath "/Volumes/theGrill/Resource_Library/Art_Anim/Presets/Compressor/Preview (H.264).setting" -asneededcopy -destinationpath "/Volumes/Scratch/temp/test/test.mov" -jobpath "/Volumes/Scratch/temp/test/Leadership_April_Update/" audio="/Volumes/Scratch/temp/test/Leadership_April_Update.wav"
The other formats I've tried include. Responses are what is returned in terminal.
-jobpath "/path/to/sourcevideo.mov",audio="/path/to/sourceaudio.aif"
     Response: Parameter error: Invalid Job path: /Volumes/Scratch/temp/test/Leadership_April_Update/,audio=/Volumes/Scratch/temp /test/Leadership_April_Update.wav
-jobpath "/path/to/sourcevideo.mov" -audio="/path/to/sourceaudio.aif"
     Response: None
-jobpath "/path/to/sourcevideo.mov" -audio "/path/to/sourceaudio.aif"
     Response: Invalid parameter: -audio
-jobpath "/path/to/sourcevideo.mov" -jobpath audio="/path/to/sourceaudio.aif"
     Response: Parameter error: Invalid Job path: audio=/Volumes/Scratch/temp/test/Leadership_April_Update.wav
-jobpath "file:///path/to/sourcevideo.mov?audio=file:///path/to/sourceaudio.aif"
     This submits, but the output doesn't have the audio.
Any other ideas?

Robohelp 7 HTML command line error

I am trying to setup command line compilation for the project
and i get this error from RHCL.exe
Scanning project for compilation....
Scanning finished.
Error: Failed to create TRS file. Please use RoboHelp to
recover the project.
Unexpected Error: Failed to prepare single source data for
RHCL. Please try to compile it in RoboHTML.
The project is under source control

Hi Mykola -
Welcome aboard! First, let me ask you this: have you used
command line compilation successfully before in this or any other
project? And can you generate successfully in this project using
the UI?
It would be helpful if you would post your command line so
that I can see the format.
I don't think it matters that your project is
source-controlled. I generate both types via the command line, and
it's not a problem.

Slim fails to login...how to get command line back?

Man, what a drag. I (seemingly) successfully installed Arch with xfce, which is a huge accomplishment for a guy coming from years of Ubuntu, and avoiding command line and config files every chance he gets.
Anyway, I'm using slim as a display manager, and it fails to login (I am choosing the xfce session). I can't seem to get to a command line so that I can try a different display manager. Google says that Ctrl-Alt-F1 should do the trick, but that just gives me a black screen and sits there. Any help?
Thanks.

Unable to set 'tap to click' by command line

Use case: I'm trying to write a script to set up new macbooks with a set of dev tools and usability configuration options.
Most configurations are simple enough to change by altering the global application setting e.g. setting the scroll direction with the command:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.swipescrolldirection -bool false
Apparently the following commands were able to enable the tap to click trackpad behavior in previous OSX versions:
defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
defaults write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
However, as of Maverick (and possibly Mountain Lion) these do not work.
I checked the defaults values and changing the scroll setting via the GUI does indeed change the actual variable (com.apple.swipescrolldirection) and changing the variable by command line successfully changes the setting. However, the tap to click variable does not exist in the defaults NSGlobalDomain read out and setting the tap to click via GUI has no effect on any variables in this list. When I create and turn on the com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior variable, oddly the GUI's checkbox is checked for tap to click but the feature remains turned off.
My best guess is that trackpad options have been moved out of NSGlobalDomain and there is still some vestigial code reading for the no longer functional variable that is setting the gui checkbox even though its not enabling the feature.
My question: how can I set tap to click (and other trackpad options) by the command line?
Thanks!

If you do "java -jar ..." on the command line then any "-cp ..." options are ignored. That's because "java -jar ..." assumes you will have set up the classpath in the jar's manifest file like you're supposed to.

Robohelp 10 command line crashes

I am trying to build a robohelp project at the command line and it crashes. Building manually in the IDE works.
The event log show:

The generated log shows that it crashes right after it logs 'Processing index data...'.
It appears to be the same issue found here: Generating either Multiscreen or Responsive HTML5 from command line (RHCL)
What can I do to get this building on the command line successfully? I have 4 other projects I am doing this the same way with and they are generating the output fine.

If the other projects work fine, there is probably someting in the project giving trouble. The best way to move fowards:
1. Create a COPY of the project.
2. From the project, delete some files/folders/
3. Try to generate again.
4. If the crash occurs, remove some more until it works.
5. If the project generates, check the last deleted files and try to narrow the issue down to a single file or multiple files.
6. Come back with details of the files that are giving issues (file name, any weird HTML, etc.) That way we can perhaps figure out why RoboHelp is crashing.
You can also file a bug report with Adobe: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
But they will want the same information and it's no guarantee it will be fixed (just as the forum, really)
Kind regards,
