Auto run a script in a .app build?

I have an applescript studio project that has two scripts. I want one of the scripts to autorun when the .app is opened, is there anyway to accomplish this easily?
TIA

Where to I enter the
All you need to is adding run script "so:and:so"
inside the handler.
Yup, inside the on awake from nib handler
BTW.... when I click "edit" the inspector goes away?
Yup, it switches to XCode, so you can edit the script.
Now, it can be pretty simple, but it's depend on how you structure you project, to be more exact, on where you keep your scripts. Because you need to get the path to script in order to run it. Here is my example:
tell me to (run script alias (POSIX file (path for script "base64_unicode" extension "scpt") as string))
path for script return the path, but your script has to be in the Scripts folder of your XCode project.

KODI/XBMC auto run and script problems?

I started a project a couple weeks ago to build a htpc using xbmc/kodi. I wanted to be able to play retro and steam games. So I've installed emulationstation and steam. Now comes the tricky part (for me anyways), writing bash scripts to access the programs through Advanced Program Launcher. Once I finally got that set up, I set the computer to login automatically and to auto run kodi. And here's where the issue happens. Normally when I run the simple script below, it closes kodi, and opens the program (so only one program is running at a time). However if I try to access the program from the auto-run instance of kodi, it doesn't close kodi before running. Instead, it opens the program and then opens another version of kodi. So if I press alt-tab it shows "kodi/emulationstation/kodi", so I have 3 programs open instead of 1 and trying to close any of them starts a cycle of new instances opening that causes a crash....
#bin/bash
killall -9 kodi.bin
emulationstation
kodi &
So since everything runs fine when I start kodi by hand (icon and terminal), I'm assuming the problem is the way I'm auto starting the program? I've used the autostart section under the LXsession configuration, trying @kodi and @lxterminal -e kodi but both produce the same problem. Is there another/better way to autostart a program that I can do this? Or do you guys think it's an issue with the script?
Thank in advance!!
I'm running Arch 64 bit with the LXDE desktop.

How do you autostart kodi ? By enabling the service ?
In that case killing kodi would make it restart.

Run PHP script in Java app.

Hi,
I have a PHP application that opens up a template (MS Word) invoice file, inserts some information in the file (eg. today's date, customer name) and then saves it as a new Word file. My questions are as follows.
1- How can I call this script from my Java application. Please note that I want to be able to pass parameters (eg. custome name read from a DB) from my Java app. to this script.
2- Is it possible to print already saved MS Word documents from Java? If so, how?
3- Is it possible to do what my PHP script is doing in pure Java? I couldn't find a simple way of doing this, that's why I used PHP but I would like to do this in Java if I can.
thanks in advance,
Mete

pass parameters (eg. custome name read from a DB) from

2- Is it possible to print already saved MS Word
documents from Java? If so, how?Try looking at the Jakarta POI project.

Auto run sql script when DB opens

Is it possible to configure a DB so a given SQL script is run each time the database opens?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks a lot in advance.Either include the script in a startup script for the database, dbstart on *nix you'd need to write your own on windows, or else move the code into a startup trigger.

Running Calc Scripts via Workspace

Currently users are given 'admin' access to Essbase. That way when they are in Workspace they can see and run calc scripts on their apps. Is there a more proper way to give users the ability to run a calc on their apps without giving them 'admin' access?

We have the calc scripts that run for data loads and other automated processes. Some of these calc's which are just AGG's and Calc Dim's I guess could be BR's too, but then we would have duplicates......
Thats the sorry reason :)

Release Management - too slow to run my scripts

I've setup Release Management 2013 Update 4 to use powershell scripts to do my deployments (I found limitations with both DSC and Agent releases so went down the powershell route).
Functionality wise it is all working exactly how I want it to and I am quite pleased, however the big issue I have is that it is very slow.
There are 5 separate scripts in my deployment (run DB scripts, deploy wep app, copy client MSI, copy service MSI, send email) and when I run these via PowerShell they run very fast - in a couple of seconds.
However, when running these from RM it takes about 5 minutes. It seems as if RM does the following:
Upload components
Say I'm going to do the Database scripts action
Wait 30 seconds
Run the database scripts (this is very quick - I log the output so I know this for a fact)
Wait 30 second
Say the database scripts have finished
Say I'm going to deploy the web app
Wait 30 seconds
Deploy the web app (this is also very quick - I also log the output so I also know this for a fact)
Wait 30 seconds
Say the web app is deployed
... and so on
Why are these 30 second pauses in there? It is making my release process slower than doing it manually!
(BTW - I have installed WMF4 on all servers, enabled PSRemoting, installed a certificate and set WinRM to run over https)
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
You added 5 Deploy Using PS/DSC actions in your release template to running that 5 separate scripts? RM need copy the component source package to component download folder in each Deploy Using PS/DSC action first, then run the script file which specified
in this action. So it will wait some seconds before script file be executed in each action. I test this scenario in my RM 2013 Update 4 release template, and received the same result.

Running Permission Scripts for App-V packages in VDI environment

Hi
We use App-V 5.0 SP1 in VDI environment.
We have a major problem with packages' permissions
Our users don't have administrative privileges on their machines.
As the option for "Security Descriptors" is discontinued, the only way to give permissions to a folder in a package is to use the VFSCACLS.vbs as a startup script of a package.
This way the first time users launch an application they're prompt to reopen it, and the second time they can use the application with the needed permissions.
The problem:
The script saves those permission changes under LOCALAPPDATA\AppV...
Therefore, everytime the users logoff the folder is deleted (VDI...) and again, they must run the script for the first again to get the permissions back after logon!
We cannot roam the LOCALAPPDATA\AppV folder as its size can be dozens of GBs...
Folder permissions with group policy is also not a solution, as the folder name changes everytime we upgrade a package and it's impossible to follow with hundreds of packages.
So it's either we're missing something critical in the architecture with VDI environment or there's a normal solution for these situations.
Would love to get some help
Thanks

Hi Nicke
that's what I did! the problem is that I find my self over and over again want to sequence packages in App-V 5.0 and forced to sequence it in App-V 4.6.
I really hope that it wasn't App-V team's goal. announcing App-V 5.0 and tell us it doesn't support many things so we will still need App-V 4.6 forever.
I have to maintain 2 different App-V environments with 4 different servers , 4 different sequencers and 2 clients on each computer. it doesn't make any sense for me to forced to stay with both of the versions forever.
correct me if I'm wrong but App-V 4.6 is a legacy application. the new versions cover only support on newer operating systems and nothing more. I won't be surprised if in the next version of MDOP won't come with App-V 4.6 anymore and Microsoft will announced
it's unsupported very soon.
Every time I open a ticket with MS Support the best thing I get is "It's a known issue, we can't tell when it will be fixed"
can you help me more ? move it forward to other people from the inside? at least agree with me that something is not as expected in App-V 5.0... :(
I love the technology, I believe in it, I'm kinda depend on it and I only want it to be better

My executable compiled with Real Time Engine 5.1.1 in App Builder gives error when trying to run in App Builder with RTE 6.1

Hello. I built an executable using App Builder in LV 5.1.1 and now, years later, I am trying to run it in LV 6.1 but I get an error stating a requirement for Run Time Engine version 5.1.1. To be able to run this, must I install the older version of Run Time Engine? If so, where can I find the older version? Do I have to install the older version of LabVIEW to get the RTE? Will having both versions on my pc be a problem?
I assume that once I am able to run the exe, that I will be able to recompile with the newer version of the RTE using App Builder. Is this correct?
I have been away from LabVIEW for several years and am a bit rusty on these details that I once knew. Any help is appreciated.
Alex

The version of the run-time engine must match the version of LabVIEW that was used to create the executable. You can get any version of the run-time engine you want here. The only way to create a version 6.1 exe is to re-build it from the source code with diagrams. An exe has no block diagram so it cannot be converted to a newer version.

App Builder/Run Time Install Broke?

I have full up version of LabView 5.1.1, running on Win98.
I went through the Application Building Example on page 12 of the
Application Buidler release notes.
I then installed the sample app on another Win98 box. The application
installation went OK until it ran the install for the LabVIEW runtime.
Then I got the following error:
"Setup Initialization Error
Setup requires a different version of Windows. Check to make sure that
you are running Setup on the Windows platform for which it is intended.
Error 102."
I also get this same error if I run the LabVIEW runtime install
directly.
As I said, both machines are Win98. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Mike T

I am not sure if this is your exact problem but you might try it . I found
with the run time in 5.1 would not install properly . On the target machine
I did a runtime engine install from the APP builder disk , not from the 5.1
disk . Then things seem to get sorted out after that . I still haven't been
able to do a stand alone disk that installs the runtime engine and
application together yet. More for the lack of trying after I got a work
around (I hope?) . That was with win95 and 5.1 , not sure if the same sort
of thing will be true for 5.1.1 and win 98.
Hope that helps

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

Auto Run script On Event

Is there a way to run a script (.command) on Events such as "Ethernet Cable Plugged"?

Whenever you run the script in your AppleScript Editor, the app will conveniently highlight the specific line of code that triggered the error.
That will go a long way towards narrowing down the problem.
At first glance, though, I'd guess the problem is in the line:
set theEvent to the last event of calendar "Work"
That's because the preceding line says:
tell calendar "Work"
In other words, you're already focussing on the 'Work' calendar, and telling it to find an event in its own 'Work' calendar isn't going to work (no pun intended).
The solution is simple. Since you're already focussed on the 'Work' calendar, just edit the line to say:
set theEvent to the last event

Can I run perl scripts on a iplanet App Server instead of web server

Hello,
We have some perl scripts running on a iWS 6.0 in DMZ (Tier1) which acess Oracle Server(Tier 3). I want to restrict machines on DMZ access Oracle server directly. Instead I want all the database calls to orignate from iPlanet App server on Tier 2. To make this happen I have to run Perl scripts on App server. Is this feasible as the J2EE iPlanet App can run only C++ or Java.. Any leads helps me lot..
Thanks
Sudhir Nallagangu

According to the J2EE specs you should use EJBs and Servlets in the iAS! Running a perl script for db access sounds like good old cgi times.
But generally it is possible to call a perl script from within iAS. But don't do it!

Building a LabVIEW installer that auto runs

Hello,
I am looking for a tutorial that gives the steps on creating an installer. I need to have the installer copied to a DVD for distrubution. I am wondering if there is a way to have the install run once the DVD in inserted like an "Auto Run" Is this possible? The next best I guess would be to include a readme file which I will probably have anyways. I have always written the program on the PC that it will be used on so creating an installer is new to me.
Thanks,
John

Depends on the environment, but if we are talking Windows you need to make an autorunrun.inf, then burn the DVD with the software and the autorun.inf on the root of the DVD.
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000670.htm
Keep in mind that in Windows can be configured to not use the autorun.inf for security reasons. If this is enabled you won't be able to use this feature.
