How to deal with user session when power goes off

Hi
All,
One day I had 170 oracle session connected on oracle database server and and suddenly electricity went off. but server was still running. and after power back on ther same bunch of user try to connect it.So I don't know what happen to those 170 session. does anybody know how to deal with this? I did shutdown and restart of database but I am not sure that is correct way to deal with this kind of situation.
Thanks,
Vishal

If the database server is still running, the sessions will remain there, but it depends on how they got connected to the server. If they got access through a middle tier which maintains the session and this MT is still running the sessions will still be visible from the database perspective, unless the MT handles the disconnection event.
If the sessions are working on a Client-Server basis, then PMON will mark the sessions as abruptly broken and it will get rid of them. Sessions may eventually remain hanged, but it depends on the topology, so the way you proceed was a clean database restart.

How to automatically pause podcast when mobile power goes off

I use my itouch in my car to listen to podcasts etc. and power it from the cigarette lighter using and adapter and play it through the radio using the AUX input. Is there a way that I can make my itouch pause whatever it is playing when power from my car stops -- i.e. when I turn off the ignition or unplug from source.
It seems to me that my old ipod did this, but I can't get the itouch to do it. The result is that I come back to the car and the podcast - or whatever - kept running and I have missed a lot of stuff. I try to remember to pause the unit when I stop, but I frequently forget and it's frustrating.
I understand that there may have been a change to the hardware interface between to older units and the itouch.

If you have ever used a laptop and had a general power failure, the laptop keeps on trucking - right?
I think the same think is going on here. You are running on external power (your car) and you remove that external power - the iPod's battery takes over and continues to operate the device.
I think your only option is to pause the podcast - but you can do this by simply disconnecting the audio cable or headphone.

IPod Got Washed-Reset-Power Goes Off When Not Plugged/Charging

Hi -
My husband accidentally washed my iPod. He connected to iTunes, downloaded the restore software, and I was able to reset my iPod settings. But now when I disconnect and unplug the iPod, the screen goes dark and won't turn back on. Then after plugging it back in, the Apple logo appears and it syncs normally/charges.
Is there anything I can do to fix this situation?

How many days did he let it dry before he connected it to the computer? Needed to be at least 4 - 5.
If it was immediate it probably killed the battery. You'll need to get it replaced or replace it yourself.
Here is one source, Google for more: http://www.ipodjuice.com

Power goes off and on

The IPAD2 keeps powering on and off. Seems to be stuck

Mine does too and yes it is full battery

Using a shutdown script to save files to local sever

Hello,
I am writing a shutdown script which runs when the use shuts their computer down. The goal is to back up some user files to a local sever. I am wondering if the shutdown will be delayed until the file is uploaded to the server. The file is approx 1 - 2 gb
in size which would take a few minutes to send over to the server.
I have used gpedit.msc and linked the batch file I wish to run.
However, I have a few questions regarding this. Does windows wait for the batch file to finish executing before shutting down? If not,
is there a way to delay the shutdown long enough for the file to send?
For dev purposes I have experimented using a log off script (faster than constantly shutting off/turning on), however windows does not seem to want to wait and logs off before the btach file is finished executing. In the test batch script, I used the pause
command to test if it would wait for me to finish executing the file before it logged off, but it seems that it does not want to wait and just goes ahead and logs off before it is done.
The only work around I can think of is using a batch file which saves the files then turn off the computer
instead of a script being run at shutdown - this might be not a practical solution since I have to integrate this into several workstation computers. Also, some employees may forget to use the file to shut down. I am also not sure how keen my boss
would be for me to change the entire way everyone shuts down their computer (by running my batch file instead of the usual start->shutdown). If this is the only way to go about it I will discuss with him what needs to be done however I much prefer there
to be a script that automatically runs when they shut their computers off.
To wrap it up:
Using a shut down script, how do I delay the shutdown long enough for files to be saved to a local server? Will windows automatically wait for the batch script to finish executing before turning off?
Kind regards,
- Strider

Shutdown script dependencies

Hello @all,
i would like to create a shutdown script, which depends on a working network connections.
So i've created a StartupItem script and placed it under /Library/StartupItems
The script works as expected when i called it via:
SystemStarter -D stop <NameOfMyScript>
The StartupParameters.plist of my script looks like this:
Requires = ("Disks","Network");
The problem now is that during shutdown procedure the network interfaces are already down.
Maybe this is done by launchd?
Any ideas/hints?
Thank you very much for your support.
Cheers

AFAIK, StartupItems are deprecated and such tasks should be migrated to Launchd.
In addition the Requires parameter only affects startup ordering and delays the task startup until the prerequisites are in place. I don't think it has any effect on shutdown actions.
That said, I don't know that launchd handles this any better - there is no dependency model in launchd - the script is supposed to handle that itself.
launchd does have a NetworkState flag that will keep your process alive as long as there's a network connection but I don't believe this will inform you that the network is going to go down - you may be able to detect when it's gone, but that doesn't sound like it'll solve your issue, either.
Therefore I think you need to consider what it is you're doing (or trying to do) and look for some other way of doing it. Typically the application/process would have to deal with a network issue so that's where I'd look.

When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used by Time Machine for backups is dismounted ?

When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used for backups by Time Machine is dismounted and all backups are gone. I can reselect it and it will start working again, but I am worried if the iMac hard drive should fail will I be left without a backup ?

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.

Computer does not turn on, power LED goes off when power button is pressed

My Pavilion 17-e078nr has stopped working, it will not power on. When you push the power button, the power LED next to where the plug is goes off and takes several minutes before it comes back on. I've tried removing the battery and get the same results and with the batter in and AC disconnected the power button does nothing. I've also tried the hard reset with no luck. As far as I know, nothing has happened to the computer since last time it worked. My two theories are either the AC power is bad, or there is a problem internal to the laptop. The AC power is providing the 19.5V, I measured it using a multi meter, I'm just not sure if it's providing the required wattage, or if the connection to the laptop is secure, it feels a little loose, but at the same time the LED comes on, so I know it's getting a connection. Only thing I can think to try is go to a store that sells this type of computer and see if I can use one of their power supplies to power my computer, and/or plug my supply into one of their computers. Don't know how willing any store would be to allow me to do that though. Any one have any additional thoughts or advise?

Hi! I have the exact same problem... the LED on adapter, is very, very dim when connected.
At first I tried connecting my macbook to my roommate's adapter and had the same problem. then tried taking out the battery, and still had the same problem. I did the same thing with my roommate's macbook, but hers did actually turn on! it operated without the battery. Figured out it was problem with mine.
I kept on trying combinations battery, computer and adapter. turns our that my battery (which I thought at first was the problem) charges perfectly on my roommates mac, but wont charge on mine. her adapter won't work either on my computer. What I've been doing is charging my battery on her computer, then placing it on my mac, and it works. only thing that won't work is the adapter.
Went to a mac store, and they told me that the problem was a small cable o wire that went from the Magsafe point into the mac and that the LED was very dim because no energy was being drawn from that spot because of this little wire being broken. they gave me the name of this wire... very technical stuff so, completely forgot cause I didn't have anything near to write on.
I'd like to know if anyone has gone through this same ordeal, and had this wire replaced without any problems. When it comes to opening up my mac, I'm a bit skeptical, since warranty is expired and wouldn't want for a solution to become a bigger problem.

GPO Startup/Shutdown scripts not running

I am running server 2003 SBS with windows 8.1 Pro workstations.
My workstations run 1 start-up script and 2 shutdown scripts. All are BAT files.
They were all working fine last week before I ran the update for 8.1.1, now they do not run at the appropriate time on any of those systems. However, if I execute them manually they work as expected.
I have checked to see if the BAT files are still located in the GPO and they are there. They are stored locally on each machine, I have even tried to delete and re-add them and then run GPUPDATE to no avail.
Any help here would be great, as they deal with local encrypted containers and are specific to each workstation.

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for posting.
Whether the GPO with start-up/shutdown scripts are linked to the OU containing computers?
FYI - Logon/Logoff scripts could only be applied to users, whereas Start-up/Shutdown scripts applies to computers.
Also, checkout the below thread on similar discussion,

Does FiOS stay on when the power goes out?

I'm wanting to buy a UPS for my computer, but I'm not sure if the internet will still work if the power's out.
The UPS would power the router & computer, and anything else with a plug inside my house needed for the internet. Verizon also gave us this big backup power box which i'm not sure where the power goes to.
Solved!

The VZ Battery Backup (BBU) supplys power to the ONT in the event of a power failure. In order to keep phone service up as long as possible, the internet and video portions of the ONT are shut down after 5 minutes. If you want to keep the internet up, plug the BBU into your UPS.
Be sure and size your UPS according to the load factors and desired run time.
