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 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.

Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

Hi,
starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
\\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
\\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
Any ideas?
Error Details (the Kind of error differs greatly):
# 1 #
Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: ...
Event ID: 1005
Task Category: (100)
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: vmDEV
Description:
Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program XYZ
because of this error.
Program: XYZ
File:
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Hi,
>>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
the share correctly.
If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.

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

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 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

Ntpd starting before network connection up.

Hey I'm using open ntpd to sync time on my computer. But it seems to be running before my network connection is up, therefore not syncing the time.
I'm unfamiliar with systemd (and honestly, really despise it), so I'm having trouble fixing the problem. Here's the .service file:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/openntpd.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenNTP Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ntpd -s
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Any ideas?

NTPD should automatically resume after connection has been established. See systemctl, systemctl status ntpd, journalctl.
You should see something like this
May 25 22:55:39 arch ntpd[642]: new interface(s) found: waking up resolver
May 25 22:55:42 arch dhcpcd[370]: enp4s0: leased 192.168.1.107 for 86400 seconds

May 25 22:55:42 arch dhcpcd[370]: enp4s0: adding default route via 192.168.1.254
May 25 22:55:43 arch ntpd[642]: Listen normally on 5 enp4s0 192.168.1.107:123

May 25 22:55:51 arch systemd[715]: Time has been changed

If you want to visualize how NTP is running, I recommend installing Monitorix

Can you run applications off Time Capsule

I am thinking about getting a MacBook Air, but the smaller hard drives have me worried a bit about space. I have a Time Capsule that has plenty of room and I am wondering if it is possible to move applications over to the Time Capsule and run them over the wireless network. I imagine performance would be a big issue--especially for data-heavy games.
I have several questions:
1. Is it possible to run applications in this manner?
2. If so, is performance so bad that it is not worth it?
3. If applications do not run (or do not run well), would there be any major performance issues with moving songs, photos, movies over to the external drive?
Any information/advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!

The TC is really not designed to do this.. in general applications should be on the local drive.. data can be moved off is you need to but running applications over network is not even always possible.
Performance over wireless for sure can be an issue.. !
The issue with moving data to the TC.. is backup. IF you do this, where are you going to backup the files.. the TC has no built in backup for itself..
It is better to get a real nas with decent fast raid and built in backup..
Or use a computer in the network as a quasi server.. eg a mini.. although you still need to attach fast drives by some means to it.

How to disable network connections for an application

Hi to all,
I would like to know if there is any way a user can disable network connections for a specific application.
Thank you,
Xwang

Yes, but I would like to block only a specific application, not all the traffic from the PC.
I've found this "solution" which uses iptables on the net:
"Add a group to your system (I use nonet myself), then add a rule to your output chain like this: -A OUTPUT -m owner --gid-owner nonet -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-net-unreachable Run the program for which you know in advance that you want to block, with sg (sg nonet "your_prog your_args")."
Do you think is it right?
Another suggestion was to use unshare to call the program disabling the net for that program only.
The problem is that unshare is runnable only by root so, in case, I should turn on its setuid flag in order to execute the program as a normal user, but I don't know if it is safe to do that.

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how. Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
Open System Preferences
Go to "Security & Privacy"
Click the lock and enter your admin password
Click the Firewall Tab
Go to "Firewall Options..."
Find KodakAiO
Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
Click "Show in Finder"
Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
or
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.
