Background application in Mac OS

Is it possible to run a Java application purely the background in Mac OS X?
I can set up a cron-like job to execute a java application every hour or something, but then the application takes up space in the Dock. I'd like it to run as a daemon or something.
Thanks in advance!
Ben

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires. Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it. I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time. However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources. I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open. It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems. The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

When I try to install Lion it tell's me "You can't use this version of the application install mac os x Lion with this version of Mac os x" even though I have the latest update 10.5.8 of Mac os X?

The install icon has this sign on it

You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck

Hmmm... I once had an error "duplicate path" when building.
As far as I can remember it was because I had several folders on my hard drive with different versions of the my soft and the problem was that 2 VIs with the same name were loaded from different place.
Could it be the same for you ?

What's the best duplicates finder application for Mac OS X?

Thank you both! I ended up going for DupeGuru because it was free and it worked well. Easy Duplicate Finder baited me with the promise of free download then when the search was over I got the "buy the software" if I wanted to delete more than 10 files.
DupeGuru worked well and so far I have not been asked for money.
This solves my question.

PHP MysQL Background Application

Has anyone used PHP / MySQL / ADDT to develop a background application that is clocked based? Essentially, I'm just looking to fire off a stored procedure every "n" minutes. Is there a way to write / configure an app to do this?

Hi Jim,
Are you looking to have it trigger every so many minutes while the page is open or completely in the background?
Completly in the background:
You might want to add a cronjob that runs the php script every so many minutes.
or
While page is open:
You can set a meta-refresh to run every so many minutes so it refreshes, re-runs the script/page that is open.

Can Web dynpro Java application run as background application

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to execute the Web dynpro java application in background without opening the application in a web browser.
We just want the WD java application deployed on the SAP Web AS server to be invoked and get executed as a background application by some external web application. It should not get open at any point of time in a web browser.
Can anyone suggest if it is possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
Since Web Dynpro is "SAPu2019s standard UI technology based on MVC for developing user interfaces" (see http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-wdjava) it is by design not possible to run 'in the background'.
There are other possibilities to develop server processes per your requirements, such as developing web services or servlet development.
Web services are the de facto standard for executing business logic on a remote server. However, as I understand your external web application is not capable of sending web service requests, have you tried the servlet approach?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/3f/f8bc3d8af79633e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm for more info on how to develop a servlet using NWDS.
Take particular attention to the sub-topic 'Servicing Client Requests' of the above guide
Hope this helps!

How to remove third party application from mAC

how to uninstall or remove custom application from mac yasomite. New to mac   easy and safe way
thanks in advance

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive. I can't seem to get it to do this.

This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon. The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work. Apparently my setup doesn't work.
Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years. What do you use for email and calendar?
Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times.
Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

Uninstall ESET Cyber Security Pro
Repair your drive and then do a Safe Boot at least once.
While not extremely low having only 20% free for an SSD can be an issue, again, running DU from another drive or Recovery would help.
When in doubt, clone, backup, and do a clean install. Setup Assistant will bring back what you want.
Should see this moved to MacBook Pro forum shortly.

How to run ipad applications in mac

how to run ipad applications in mac i ahve downloaded the application in macbook air . But i do not know how to run?

It can't be done. iPads use iOS as the operating system. Macs use OS X as the operating system. iOS apps don't run on Macs and OS X apps don't run on iPads.
That's why if there is an app that has been developed for both platforms, you have to buy them separately; iOS apps from the iTunes App Store and Mac apps from the Mac App Store.

Background application for handwriting text input

Hi,
Is it possible to have a background application running or through any other way so that my application can provide a handwriting input mode wherever iPhone takes text input through keyboard?
All the best,
Saad

Hi Saad -
Legal, non-system iPhone apps can't run in the background, and no such app would have permission to read another app's input even if it could run in the background. There are some forms of communication between apps, such as registered URL's and PUSH notification, but since only one app can run at a time, there's no communication option that's close to what you're looking for. I think your idea would require the kind of tight integration used in assistive technology such as screen readers. Given the kind of security users expect from the iPhone, such a feature would need to be part of the system.
I think the library you described in your other post is most likely the best way to distribute your software. However you might also consider providing a web service. You might think of the web as the primary means of inter process communication for iPhone apps. A web service might allow developers to buy your technology on a pay-as-you-go basis instead of buying the rights to the library. Maybe that could work if you decode static info. Of course if you need a log of the touch events, you'd probably need so much processing in the client that a library would be much better... Just thinking out loud in the unlikely case any of my thoughts are useful to you. Obviously I know nothing about handwriting recognition, and I've wandered off topic. The short answer to your original question is no.

I am asking about only Java Application
a Application not about the OS..
My Application act as a background application using
java language it self.. (If I do logout also, It has
to run)
-ArunAs I told you. It doesn't have anything to do with java. The answer is OS specific, and not java related.
E.g.
nohup startscript.sh &
Starts your application as a background process on *nix (if your application is started by startscript.sh)
