Auto-run Application After Bluetooth Connection *solved*

I was wondering if there was a way to immediately run an application after establishing a connection to a specific Bluetooth device.
For example, I have a DualShock 4, and there's an application out there that lets you customize the LED and use the touchpad to control the mouse.  I would like it if this application would run as soon as I am connected to this controller.  I don't want it to run when I establish a connection to just any Bluetooth device.
Does anybody know of a way I can do this?  I'd rather not use cron, since it's a bit slow and this is something that only needs to happen once.
If it matters, I'm using KDE.

  • Auto Run Application On Network Connect

    I have a very simple application that I created in Automator. I want this application to automatically run only after I connect to a *particular wireless network*. I want this all to happen in the back ground (hence the "automatic". Is there any way to do this?
    In case it helps, it is an application that mounts a network drive. I want this program to run only when I connect to the network that has the drive connected to it.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Auto run application

    I want to develop a application that auto run on the server everyday.
    The application should be satisfy the following requirement:
    1. auto run on scheduled time
    2. immediately run after the server restart
    I suppose to use Servlet. plse give me any idea.
    sample code or example is helpful, Thank a lot !

    hi,
    if you use the solution with the crontab your java program is monitored. if the program crashes the cron starts it again. put you have to write a shellscript to start the javaprogram and to check out the program already runs.
    here a little script to start
    #=====================================
    CLASSPATH=**your CLASSPATH**
    JAVA_HOME=**your JAVA_HOME**
    PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
    **your environment**
    export CLASSPATH JAVA_HOME PATH **your environment**
    #is the program running? (not the best solution but it should work ;-))
    a=`ps -ef | grep **your programm**`
    if [ "$a" == "" ]
    then
    nohup java **your program** 1>**your logfile** 2>&1
    fi
    #=====================================
    the crontab entry:
    */10 * * * * your program
    the 5 starts mean:
    minute,hour, day,month,day of week -> look at the man page (man 5 crontab)
    to edit the crontab use the command crontab -e under the useraccount where the program should run.
    to write a startscript (rc-Script) you can look at the skeleton-file. normaly it is in /etc/rc.d. name skeleton.
    copy that file and edit it. after that link the file to the runlevel-directory.
    hope it helps

  • Autologin as user, auto run application as admin

    Hello, I am just trying to figure our if there is a solution for my problem.  I do not want to give the user full admin rights.
    Every time when Windows Server 2012 reboots, I need a user to login automatically and one of the applications should run.
    I am able to login after server reboots, the problem is with application.  It has to run with full admin rights.  If I try to configure to always run it as administrator, it asks for the admin's password. It should run automatically, so I cannot
    enter the password after reboot.
    Any ideas? Or should I give the user full admin rights?  I do not want to do this.
    Thank you.
    Thank you. Eric.

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, there is no build-in way to allow a standard user to run as Admin. For more detailed information, please refer to the similar
    thread below:
    Auto run as admin in non admin accounts
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/59f91c21-0d1c-47e2-ad6f-1272000fc5ee/auto-run-as-admin-in-non-admin-accounts?forum=winserversecurity
    In addition,
    you should only allow an application that you trust to run as administrator because the application will have full access to your computer.
    If you don’t want to
    configure an application to always run as an administrator, you can right-click the application’s shortcut
    and make change in the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog box.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Not enough virtual memory to run applications after Blackberry Desktop software installation

    Hi,
    I've an issue with Blackberry Desktop Software application, after installing it (versions 4.7) my laptops cannot open more applications after certain time, even you cannot open the Start menu or any other kind of window, it just shows a little box as it is trying to show the windows but does not have enough resources to complete the drawing; I have to close some windows to open another, I mean I can have opened only a certain numbers of applications.
    I uninstalled the BBDS and I've the problem still, the only way to solve it, was formatting my laptop, after a time I though 5.0 version could has resolved this issue, so I installed it with my fresh laptop and happened the same behavior, in this moment the BBDS has uninstalled 3 months and the have problem yet.
    I think the installation modify some windows registry that in some way disallow to free up memory, or does not inform to window there is enough memory ro tun another applications.
    I noticed when increasing the Virtual memory I can have more applicationes opened but it is few.
    I really apreciate any suggestion,
    Thanks,
    Model: Lenovo T60
    RAM: 1GB RAM
    Windows XP SP3 (it has latest available patches)
    Virtual Memory configured from 1.5Gb to 3GB

    the shortcut startup is the thing that adds (or not) the shortcut in the Startup menu, but the Desktop Manager starting at Windows start is stored in the registry.
    I didn't bother to do all that, there is a clear option when you install the desktop manager that asks for automatic startup & automatic upgrade. I don't remember at which point (it's a shame, because I installed it less than 3 weeks ago and have already forgotten ! not eating enough fish), but it's there.
    besides, I believe you can untick the option later, maybe in the Device Manager that is next to the windows clock.

  • Running application jar and connecting to cache

    Hi
    I created a runnable jar that I run using
    java -jar RunnableJar.jarIn this application i create a named cache with objects.
    NamedCache productInformationNamedCache = CacheFactory.getCache("cachename");
    config for this cache is:
    <cache-mapping>
          <cache-name>cachename</cache-name>
          <scheme-name>default-replicated</scheme-name>
    </cache-mapping>Everything works when I run jar, this and other caches start and process data but when it finishes it closes all caches and besides that during the execution of the jar i can't connect to this caches using other application and invoking:
    NamedCache productInformationNamedCache = CacheFactory.getCache("cachename");Isn't it how it's supposed to work. Correct me if wrong.
    My question is how to make this application persist cache objects and how to connect to it from other application. Im using eclipse and building a runnable jar.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Are you packaging Coherence into your jar? Or is it on your class path?
    The reason I ask is I'm trying to work out what Cache Configuration it's using. I'm guessing the one from the coherence.jar?

  • Auto run applications

    Hi ,
    When turn my mac on a few apps like Microsoft word immediately run .
    How can shut them down   

    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature
    Disable Lion’s Resume Checkbox When Shutting Down [Video How-To] | Cult of Mac
    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • Auto run vi after loading path file

    I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run a VI after you click on "OK" to load a file from the file path control as opposed to selecting file and then manually clicking run each time on the front panel toolbar.  I attached the simplified VI and txt file to be plotted for clarity.
    Attachments:
    Load Data-Plot.vi ‏135 KB
    Test-linear.txt ‏121 KB

    So I tried what you suggested and I believe it's working like you said it would.  For situations where you would select multiple files, I put the event structure inside the while loop.  One thing I noticed is if you select a file and the VI runs and then select the same file again...a error pops up in the "Read from Measurement File" object.  Is there a way to ignore this error?  It works fine if you select a different file otherwise.

  • Auto run Servlet

    I want to develop a Servlet application that auto run on the server everyday.
    The application should be satisfy the following requirement:
    1. auto run on scheduled time
    2. immediately run when the server restart
    Any idea to do this ? Plse help
    Also, any sample code or example is helpful.
    Thanks

    First, very thanks to all of you.
    To sum up the idea, I have 2 ways
    1. Use "crontab" to schedule application to run. (I'm using Linux with Tomcat)
    2. Place the application in thread.
    Which one is better ? And, I'm new to crontab. Is this possible to set the CLASSPATH and run application by using crontab. Now, i'm trying set CLASSPATH in crontab, but still not success.
    If I use 2, place the application in thread. How to auto run application after the server restart ?
    Thank you. I really want to know which one is a good solution before I start to write my program.
    P.S. I not sure my question is a Servlet Technology question or not. So, I also place my question in Forum - New to Java Technology

  • Podcast app auto-play on bluetooth connect, not wanted!

    I've read several threads regarding annoying behavior of audio apps while connected to bluetooth audio devices, but none directly relating the problem I have.
    In fact, the thing that bothers me appears to generally be considered to be desireable to most people commenting in these threads:
    I'd like to have the option to just turn off auto-play when my phone connects to my bluetooth car radio.
    Sometimes, I want it to do that, other times, I want to hear my radio, and I am really annoyed that I have to pull the phone out of my pocket, switch it on, enter my security code, switch to the podcast app, and finally, touch the pause button!
    I can't find an option in control panel, or the podcast app that allows me to disable bluetooth auto-playback when I don't want it doing that.
    I've got an Iphone 5, running IOS 6.1.4 (10B350) and podcast 1.2.1 (331), both of which must have already had the problem that most of these threads address fixed.
    Am I overlooking something? Is there a way to tell podcast to mind its own business and not take control of my car radio when I get in and start the motor?
    And no, I don't want to just turn off bluetooth! We have a law in this state (Oregon) that says you can't fiddle with your phone while you're driving. I want my phone to connect automatically, but I want podcast to shut up unless I tell it to auto-connect.
    Thanks.... 

    I reallly need some help here, folks, this is becoming an unacceptible situation!
    Update: I read on several of the other threads about bluetooth and podcast issues that the only solution that works is to delete the podcast app and use the music player to listen to podcasts, so I deleted it not long after I made the original post, which meant I had to re-download my podcasts with my phone connected to a computer running itunes.
    This morning, I drove my car for the first time since deleteing the podcast app, and I was disturbed to hear one of my podcasts playing though the car speakers! 
    I don't have any music stored on my phone, so I don't know if the music player would have started playing music every time it connects to the bluetooth reciever in my car radio, but I can only assume that it does do that since it started playing my podcast.
    There's no option in settings for music or bluetooth that lets you either tell music not to play when the phone connects to a bluetooth audio device, or to tell bluetooth in the phone what apps to start up on connect.
    This is a major oversight in my opinion, and Apple should fix it.
    Does everyone but me want music to automatically start whenever their phone connects to a bluetooth device?
    Is there a solution to this problem?

  • Bluetooth connection to Audi A4 still drops after 2 months of trying everyt

    I have a 2007 Audi A4 and paired my iPhone to it. The Phonebook transfered over and it works for the most part. However 9 times out of 10 the Bluetooth connection drops about 5 minutes into driving. It then picks up the connection a minute or so later. I do have it connected to a charger (which reduced the problem a bit).
    I really don't want to buy a Bluetooth headset since I already have what is a perfectly working (and expensive) car system that paired fine with 2 other phones (Sony Ericsson T616, Motorola SLVR).
    I'm becoming increasing frustrated, especially after a near accident when I had to pick up the handset and lower the stereo during a recent dropped Bluetooth connection.
    The iPhone is brilliant, but this dangerous glitch is a deal breaker for me. I'm now seriously considering a Blackberry instead.
    I tried everything over the past 2+ months including:
    - Bought and used 2 different iPhone car adapters
    - Installed all iPhone updates
    - Turned off auto locking
    - Kept the iPhone on the Phone screens (Contacts, Recents, etc.)
    - Turned off WiFi
    - Disabled Bluetooth until just before pairing
    - Restarted my iPhone prior to pairing
    - Restored my iPhone prior to pairing
    - Factory reset prior to pairing
    Interestingly the pairing worked for the first day after each of the past 2 iPhone updates, but the problem came back on day 2. That's why I performed restores and resets (which didn't work).
    Any thoughts?

    I have a 2006 A8 and had similar problems until I loaded the last iPhone update; Bluetooth is now rock-solid. Check with your dealer and make sure your car has the latest Audi updates. On my car, Bluetooth settings have a delay setting. Make sure that is turned on.

  • I have a 2011 iMac 27" i7 and the bluetooth connected trackpad, keyboard, and mouse all go haywire after awhile. This just began today and cannot make the issue go away. Nothing was downloaded, no software updates, etc. please help!

    Oops, sorry, using my iPad for this. My iMac's Bluetooth-connected devices are going haywire after awhile of use. All three things--the trackpad, keyboard, and mouse--act up, especially the trackpad, by being overly sensitive and often just clicking and moving on its own. I've restarted the computer, I've swabbed batteries out of the devices, and nothing has worked so far in solving this issue. I downloaded Lion when it came out and had the update last week (I think), but today is the first day to experience this issue and nothing was downloaded today. I've been sending out a flurry of emails, but nothing else to hint at why this problem happened. Any ideas??

    Humm, thank you. I have my iPhone and iPad on the wireless network, and yeah--using the rechargable batteries. I'll try normal batteries and re-join the phone and get back to you. May take a day or so because the semester starts today. Thank you again.
