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

This might be doable with EEM scripting. Note - there's an EEM scripting forum, where you might find help.
Does the port really need to be taken down, or would blocking its operation at night suffice? If the latter, a timed based ACL might be used.

Run scripts on iCal

Dear All,
Before switching to my new iMac, I could open very easily Pages files (4.03) and run scripts during events ex: "Take a screen shot..."
With my new iMac I have problem opening Pages files (with the so known Pages 5) and I am not able to run scripts.
Are you experiencing the same problems? Is there anybody here who could help me.
I thank you in advance for your replies.
Kind regards,
Daniel.

Here's a workaround that I just figured out that seems to do the trick for my issue with my "alerts" that open a file. I'm not sure it would work with the automator attachment but maybe you can adapt it.
I set up google calendar to sync with iCal via CalDav and put my automation calendar on google calendar/iCal. I left my other iCal calendars as they were to sync with MobileMe/iPhone. My automated file launches are preserved in iCal and the calendar does not sync with my iPhone, which is what I wanted. Works for me, hope you can get it to work for your situation.

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.

Ical alert to run script disappears from the event

A few seconds after I set an alert for an event to run a script, the Run Script designation disappears and defaults to alert Message. I cannot make the Run Script designation stick. So, when the alert triggers, no script is run.

Hi kimal,
Are you syncing the calendars? Run Script alarms only work on local calendars, those under "On My Mac" in iCal.
Best wishes

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
Dave

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.

Run scripts on a schedule

Is the a way to run scripts on a schedule? I have a script that I want to run 3 days (Mon, Wed, Fri) a week at a certain time.
How can I do this

lets use iCal seeing as it came with your mac.
create your script and save it where ever you want, open iCal create a new event, on the right hand side you will see the new events draw, set the time you want your script to activate in the from-to area, set it to repeat and end as you wish, go down to alarm and select open file in the drop down, then right below open file their should be another drop down select other from that, that will open a window now select your script, then in the next drop down select on date, your done.
let me no if you need any more help.

Loading script "script path-name" failed (0xC0000006) error when running scripts from DFS

We have this issue where any number of random scripts that execute at startup will produce the following error when run from DFS:
The status code for this error equates to STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR - The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0x%x.
This does not always happen each time and the script can be random. If we move the script(s) to a non DFS, we do not see this. I believe the issue is being caused by a minute disconnect to the DFS for whatever script is attempting to execute at that
moment. This happens across a few (consistent) offices on different computers.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you run scripts in a shared folder which is added to a DFS Namespace, then the error prompt. However, you can run the scripts when you directly access the shared folder.
What scripts did you run? Is there any error message in the Event Log? If so, please provide us the detailed error message for our further research.
Best Regards,
Mandy

Run script action - ZCM edits my script's content

Good day,
I am implementing a script in a bundle that allows me to generate files on the fly and execute them. Upon saving my "run script" action, ZENworks takes on himself to parse and edit my script, I am not sure why.
A part of my script generates a .hta file, an html application, that is used as a temporary splash screen. For some reason (line 85) my event name (Windows_onLoad()) is renamed by ZENworks like this :
oFile.WriteLine " Sub Window_onload()"
becomes
oFile.WriteLine " Sub Window_<body <body <body <body <body onload()"
Does that ring a bell for anyone?
I have other means of doing what I want but I wanted to bring this specific issue to you. Let me know what you think.
Thank you!

Auto run BDC program

hi,
I Generated one BDC program. Its running properly. But what our client requirement means when data come in Flat file (TEXT file or Excel file) these BDC program should start automatically. How i will do this auto run functionality. If any one knows about this plz let me inform immediately.
regards
bab

Hi
That means your BDC program should be schedulated and the job should be submitted by an event (see trx SM64), this event should be triggered if the file is updated.
Now the problem is to understand how the file is updated, because the program updates the file should trigger the event too.
If the file is updated by a user, u can schedule your program periodically, and if the files is updated u run the BDC

Auto run - HTML5 - set post publish

I just noticed that out of a large library of lessons in HTML5, that some of my older lessons have the start screen with the forward arrow to start and the later ones auto-run. I'm not sure when or how the preference changed (it slipped by me over time - possibly in an upgrade?) but I would like to know if anyone out there knows an html 5 edit to change this from the start button format to the auto run format. It would be far easier to get one of our programmers to write a script to replace the code in the .index file for each lesson than go through the enormous effort of republishing in Captivate.
Best, Steve

The difference is in the CPM.js:
autoplay:false
or
autoplay:true

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

Auto Run sequence under batch processing

How to auto run sequence under batch processing in a period of time, by scripting or any pre-installed mode?
Thanks!

Because by default it is 2*sort_area_size

And sort_area_size by default is 65536

Auto accept script error

Any idea why ichat 5 gives me an error on the auto accept script every time I run it ? I want to leave the auto accept on permanently but its not letting me.

Click on the App in Applications.
Do a Get Info from the File Menu of the Finder (or the keystrokes listed)
If you have a Core 2 Duo Processor it will offer the option so start in 32 Bit mode.

Application auto run

I have write a application in C language,and I want it could auto run with os boot. I write a start script, placed it in the directory /etc/init.d. There also I created a hard link in the directory /etc/rc3.d, and the link file named "S99XXXX", but the app can not auto run, what is the wrong with?
Thank you!

I think that having the startup script (or link) for your app in the /etc/rc3.d is a good idea. This will let you boot to run level 2, have all your network services running, but keep your app down. Makes things easier for testing/patching/whatever.
To answer your question though, I'd try to run the script by hand. Check various for permissions (read and execute) and ensure that you have any needed environment variables set at the beginning of the script. These variables have bit me pleanty of times.
As you probably know, your script will get run with a "start" option. Hopefully, your script isn't expecting a different option.
My 2 cents.
Good luck!
