Bypassing startup script in .cshrc.user file for console login
Hi,
I'm calling a startup script in my .cshrc.user file. How do I bypass the startup script if it is a console login. Other cases like telnet, rlogin or opening a new terminal should go through the startup script.
Thanks,
Ramkumar
Short note; instead of ..
echo `tty` >> testfile
you could just do..
tty >> testfile
.. since the "tty" command sends its output to STDOUT, same as "echo", and >> takes the STDOUT and puts it in a file.
Anyway, what does "tty" give you if you run it on the console?

Need a script to delete user files and run on logout.
Hi folks!
I'm a total Mac novice so forgive me if I'm vague on anything here. I work in a library and we have recently acquired an iMac running Mountain Lion. The unit is primarily for use by Visually Impaired users however sighted folks can use it as well.
What I need is something that will delete any files created/downloaded by the sighted users but that will not delete anyone else's files. I tried just using the Guest Account however that also deletes all the system preferences for that account including the dock setup which I need to stay the same.
If possible I would like this to run on logout.
For additional points anyone who can also find me something that will run automatically when the users sign in and will sign them out after 30 minutes would super spectacularly awesome.
Thanks people!That being said, if you you still really want to do this you can create a logout hook and write a shell script to remove the files. See "About Daemons and Services", Appendix B on writing a logout hook.
But a far easier way is to create Account's login item that will cause a shell script to be launched to delete the files. You can encapsulate the shell script so it runs as an application that can be added to the Login Items. One such encapsulator is Platypus.
Note, rather than delete them, if you want to ensure all the specific plists have specific settings, then create a master set of them and copy the master set into the Preferences directory (being careful to observe ownership and permissions settings of course). -
[SOLVED] Running a startup script as a user at boot once
Hello!
So, as the title suggests, I am trying to start a script as a specific user at boot. To avoid accidentally starting it multiple times, I don't want it to run every time to user logs in. So far I've looked into creating a custom systemd service to call a script as root then using 'sudo -u user script' to run said script.
This almost worked, the script must have executed but, because it was starting a new task in a screen, it created a dead screen. Although I'm not entirely sure why (I suspect it has something to do with not running screen as the logged in user), I figured I would ask if anyone knew of a better way to do this. My solution so far is pretty convoluted.
Side notes: This is running on a GUI-less server (hence the possibility of a user logging in multiple times or having multiple sessions open at once)
Last edited by Lindenk (2013-07-09 15:33:45)Sure,
Here's essentially the unit file -
[Unit]
Description=Runs a script to run a script to start a script to start a server
[Service]
ExecStart=/absolute/path/to/a/rootScript.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And the root script
#!/bin/bash
#This script will run another script as the user 'server'
sudo -u server /path/to/userScript.sh
And the user script
#insert possible setup stuff here
screen -S serv -d -m /path/to/server/start.py
#insert possible cleanup stuff here
Also as a side note, I did already allow root to run commands as server without a password.
EDIT: Another side note, the root script and user script do in fact work as intended when started individually. When running through systemd (at boot or not), the screen created is dead.

How to fix "Firefox stopped presenting user names for earthlink login".
FF used to present, in a pull-down menu, all my Earthlink usernames (email addresses) when I clicked into the username box to start an Earthlink Webmail login. I then just needed to select the address I wished to access, and supply the appropriate password. Now I have to spell out the username I want to use. I did not make any changes to my setup since the prior use.
I found out why FF did not present my usernames when I logged into my Earthlink service. I must have turned on "Clear history when FF closes." I turned it off again and now FF is back to normal and easier to use. Problem solved.

FCP-specific startup script, where is it?
History: More than 10 months ago, I imported five clips that were mounted on a remote server. I discovered my mistake, copied them to a local drive and reconnected the new media.
Ever since then, across several updates to FCP5 and the upgrade to FCS2/FCP6, launching FCP gives me five server connection screens that must each be dismissed before the app will fire up.
No, I'm not going to wipe my drive and do a scorched-earth reinstall of everything. I'm just looking for any one who thinks they know where I might look for the script that invokes the server searches. Startup scripts are easy to find for Adobe products, not so much for Apple's.
bogiesanCookman:
I've got a harebrained idea: Take the machine offline from the server. Reboot. Open FCP. Do you get the message that things are missing? (like the server?) If so, re set the scratch disk, even if you set it to what it already was.<</div>
Unplugging the ethernet merely results in five boxes that tell me the server cannot be found or doesn't exist. Restarting the computer didn't change anything. Resetting the scratch disk didn't change anything either but I didn't expect it to; this really is not a Scratch Drisk issue. The server was never actually designated as a scartch disk, it just had media on it that got imported. However, I replaced the media in the project and deleted all refrences to the external media AND why does the application keep asking for the server?
Mees:
this was a culprit specifically identified earlier as being responsible for Scratch Disc settings ... don't know if that helps any? ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs<</div>
I have not yet deleted this file, trying that next. Just wanted to say that searching the file's contents reveals no references to: connect, ethernet, server, name of the server, names of folders on the server. The IP address of the server is not in this file either.

Modify Script to Create User Role on Single Database.
Hi All,
Below is the script to create user role on database. Here problem is when I execute this script, it creates user role for all database within an instance and I want it to create user role only on 2 database say TEST1 and TEST2
Can anyone help me to modify the script?
--===================================================================================
-- Description
-- Database Type: MSSQL
-- This script creates a role called 'gdmmonitor' for ALL databases.
-- It grants some system catalogs to this role to allow Classification and Assessment on the database.
-- It then adds a user called "sqlguard" to all databases and grants this user gdmmonitor role.
-- before runnign this script
-- you MUST CREATE A SQL LOGIN CALLED 'sqlguard'
-- This sqlguard login doesn't need to be added to any database or given
-- any privilege. The script will take care of that.
-- Note:
-- If you wish to use a different login name (instead of 'sqlguard') you need to change
-- the value of the variable '@Guardium_user' in the script below;
-- (Look for the string: "set @Guardium_user = 'sqlguard'" and replace the 'sqlguard')
-- after runnign this script
-- Nothing to do, the script already creates the db user
-- User/Password to use
-- User: sqlguard (or any other name, if changed)
-- Pass: user defined
-- Role: gdmmonitor

Trouble replacing "Users" File
I reinstalled Tiger after reformatting my internal drive. I backed up my files (the entire drive, twice - with Backup and another app.) on an external drive. The "restore" returned my apps and files but none of the prior settings. Migration Assistant doesn't work because it doesn"t recognise the backed up drive as having an OS on it.
How can I restore my computer?
Is there a way to just swap the "users" file for my old backed-up one?
Thanks!!! :o)You should be able to just drag and drop the files
you need,
Idealy, I'd like them ALL back. I thought that I'd drag n' drop the users file (and the library?) and voila. But it woln't let me. I "Don't have permission" - even when I change the permissions!
I HAVE the files (for a change) now I just need to be able to replace them!
in the future you will be much better
off cloning your drive so you can use Migration
Assistant to bring back all apps AND your settings.
In the future I will change the past.
My favorite for that is SuperDuper!
thanks... I'll look for it.

Not allow users to disable startup script
I have written a User Login script for indesign and have successfully implemented in Indesign CS3. However, anyone can disable the login script that I have put in the Startup script by modifying the Preference setting of the Indesign. I would be very grateful if any one there could suggest me on how to not allow the users to disable the login script put inside the Startup Script folder.
Thanks,
Limbu, KesharThank you very much for you response. But, it is not about the user right permission. There is a selection options in the Perference setting of Indesign. If you untick that option, Indesign will run bypassing the scripts in the startup scripts folder. Is there any way to not allow the users to not select this option so that the startup scripts does not get bypassed?
In the above preference setting the last check box is not selected hence Indesign will bypass all startup scripts. Only if this last option is selected the startup scritps will run.
Thanks

Startup Scripts for OBIEE 11g on Linux
Hi, I originally spent many hours trying to find a startup/shutdown script for OBIEE on linux, in the end I compiled a new one based on notes in the install manual and other posts on the subject until I got it working consistantly
Please add comments or improvements :)
Note: you need to create the boot.properties file (in /security) for each server, and provide the username/password so WebLogic won't prompt for it when starting automatically (otherwise it doesn't start :p) ....refer to the install manual or [weblogic boot.properties|http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2010/08/21/weblogic-startup-prompting-from-username-password-bootproperties/]

Registry startup script for computer-based proxy configuration
I am attempting to deploy computer-based proxy server settings via importing a .reg file to user PCs as a startup script. It has appeared to work on some PCs but not on others. We have a mix of Windows XP Professional x86 and Windows 7 Professional x64 PCs
in our domain.
I am not sure whether to use "reg import" or "regedit /s" in my batch script.
Before trying the batch script method, using "Computer Configuration > Preferences > Registry" settings did not work.
I have created a GPO, applied it to an OU containing computers and used the following settings:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts > Startup
Batch Script: regedit /s \\FQDN\netlogon\wmproxy.reg
Registry File:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
"ProxyServer"="proxy.FQDN:8080"
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components/Internet Explorer
Disable changing proxy settings = Enabled
Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per-user) = Enabled
As at the beginning of my post, the settings deploy to some PCs but not all and I have yet to see it work on the Windows 7 PCs. Am I attempting computer-based proxy settings the wrong way, or am I missing something with how I am currently trying to deploy
it?
Thanks all!Hi,
You mentioned you have tried to configure the computer-based proxy settings via GPP but it didn’t work. Before going further, would you please let me know how did you configure the settings?
In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, I suggest we’d better collect the following information.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select the proper
user in the wizard)
c. Right click
the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
Once we get the GPMC.log, please check the detailed report logged in it.
You said you have created a startup script to edit the registry key to configure the proxy setting of the computer but it worked on only some of the computers in the domain. Have you tried
to run the script on the problematic computer manually to see if it works? If it still fails to run, it could be related to the script issue, then we’d better ask in the script forum.

How to specify the webLogic server startup script to use different config.xml file ??
Hi,
I have 2 weblogic startup scripts (startWebLogic.sh and
startWebLogic_recovery.sh) for the same domain.
startWebLogic.sh uses config.xml file.
I would like to use config_recovery.xml as the configuration file for startWebLogic_recovery.sh
How would I do this ?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 on SunOS 5.8 / HP-UX 11.0.
Appreciate any help.
Regards
Gunaseelan VenkateswaranI guess you're using Weblogic 6.1 with WLCS 3.5. I think you're supposed to work with one config.xml for the same domain, and not have a different config.xml.
To start up different applications or EJBs, use the "target" property to control which applications to start up for the particular instance.

I have been searching high and low for this one. I have a vbscript that can successfully perform the function if one file is listed. It does a Wscript.echo on the results and if I run this via command using cscript, I can output to a text file
that way. However, I cannot seem to get it to work properly if I want it to search ALL the files in the folder. At one point, I was able to have it create the output file and appear as if it worked, but it never showed any results when the script
was executed and folder was scanned. So I am going back to the drawing board and starting from the beginning.
I also have a txt file that contains the list of string text entries I would like it to search for. Just for testing, I placed 4 lines of sample text and one single matching text in various target files and nothing comes back. The current script
I use for each file has been executed with a few hundred string text lines I want it to search against to well over one thousand. It might take awhile, but it works every time. The purpose is to let this run against various log files in a folder and
let it search. There is no deleting, moving, changing of either the target folder/files to run against, nor of the file that contains the strings to search for. It is a search (read) only function, going thru the entire contents of the folder and
when done, performs the loop function and onto the next file to repeat the process until all files are searched. When completed, instead of running a cscript to execute the script and outputting the results to text, I am trying to create that as part
of the overall script. Saving yet another step for me to do.
My current script is set to append to the same results file and will echo [name of file I am searching]: No errors found. Otherwise, the
output shows the filename and the string text that matched. Because the results append to it, I can only run the script against each file separately or create individual output names. I would rather not do that if I could include it all in one.
This would also free me from babysitting it and running each file script separately upon the other's completion. I can continue with my job and come back later and view the completed report all in one. So
if I could perform this on an entire folder, then I would want the entries to include the filename, the line number that the match occurred on in that file and the string text that was matched (each occurrence). I don't want the entire line to be listed
where the error was, just the match itself.
Example: (In the event this doesn't display correctly below, each match, it's corresponding filename and line number all go together on the same line. It somehow posted the example jumbled when I listed it)
File1.txt Line 54
Job terminated unexpectedly
File1.txt Line 58 Process not completed
File1.txt
Line 101 User input not provided
File1.txt
Line 105 Process not completed
File2.txt
No errors found
File3.txt
Line 35 No tape media found
File3.txt
Line 156 Bad surface media
File3.txt Line 188
Process terminated
Those are just random fake examples for this post.
This allows me to perform analysis on a set of files for various projects I am doing. Later on, when the entire search is completed, I can go back to the results file and look and see what files had items I wish to follow up on. Therefore, the
line number that each match was found on will allow me to see the big picture of what was going on when the entry was logged.
I actually import the results file into a spreadsheet, where further information is stored regarding each individual text string I am using. Very useful.
If you know how I can successfully achieve this in one script, please share. I have seen plenty of posts out there where people have requested all different aspects of it, but I have yet to see it all put together in one and work successfully.
Thanks for helping.I'm sorry. I was so consumed in locating the issue that I completely overlooked posting what exactly I was needing help with. I did have one created, but I came across one that seemed more organized than what I originally created. Later
on I would learn that I had an error in log location on my original script and therefore thought it wasn't working properly. Now that I am thinking that I am pretty close to achieving what I want with this one, I am just going to stick with it.
However, I could still use help on it. I am not sure what I did not set correctly or perhaps overlooking as a typing error that my very last line of this throws an "Expected Statement" error. If I end with End, then it still gives same
results.
So to give credit where I located this:
http://vbscriptwmi.uw.hu/ch12lev1sec7.html
I then adjusted it for what I was doing.
What this does does is it searches thru log files in a directory you specify when prompted. It looks for words that are contained in another file; objFile2, and outputs the results of all matching words in each of those log files to another file: errors.log
Once all files are scanned to the end, the objects are closed and then a message is echoed letting you know (whether there errors found or not), so you know the script has been completed.
What I had hoped to achieve was an output to the errors.log (when matches were found) the file name, the line number that match was located on in that file and what was the actual string text (not the whole line) that matched. That way, I can go directly
to each instance for particular events if further analysis is needed later on.
So I could use help on what statement should I be closing this with. What event, events or error did I overlook that I keep getting prompted for that. Any help would be appreciated.

Check for libraries with a startup script
Is it possible to check for open libraries with a startup script? Currently, i'm trying like this:
try{
app.libraries.item("Marks.indl").name
catch(e){
app.open(File("/Support/InDesign/Lib/Marks.indl"))
If InDesign is already open, this code works correctly (that is, if the library is open, nothing happens, otherwise it opens the library). However, if I place this in the startup script folder, it will open a second (third, fourth, etc.) copy of the library, even if the library is already open.
I think this happens because the library files are opened later in the startup sequence then the startup scripts are run. Is there any way to work around this?
Thanks,
/danIs your script supposed to work in ID CS3, or later?
Anyway, InDesign CS4 seems to reopen the libraries before launching startup scripts, so the following code works for me:
// Startup Script
const libName = "Marks.indl",
libPath = "/Support/InDesign/Lib/";
var libFile = libPath + libName;
if( !app.libraries.itemByName(libName).isValid )
try {app.open(File(libFile))}
catch(_){alert("Unable to open the library:\r"+libFile);}

Need to write a startup script for TunTap
Dear community,
I am using 10.10.1, 13" MBPr Late 2013 and I need to be able to access my Work VPN. From what i have been told, the OS X client can't work and that I have been advised to use Shrew Soft VPN. (We initially tried to get the WatchGuard Firewall to build a Mac .dmg and that didn't work). To get ShrewSoft to work, I have had to follow these steps:
http://ulaptech.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/shrew-soft-vpn-client-for-mac-os-x.html
· Install the qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1.dmg file first
· Install the tuntap20111101.tar.gz file second
· Install the shrew soft client.
But the TunTap download that is above will not work as it is unsigned and Yosemite has now killed off unsigned kexts.I tried turning off the requirement for OS X for signed kexts by using this command:
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
Then rebooting, but it didnt work.
I can get the VPN to work if I open up terminal and enter these two commands:
sudo kextload /library/extensions/tap.kext
sudo kextload /library/extensions/tun.kext
But I have to do this everytime i turn my Mac on.
Could somebody please help me write those two lines into a startup script? As I really have no idea how to do it.
Your help and guidance would be appreciatedChoose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the AppleScript Editor, and paste in the following:
set thepassword to text returned of (display dialog "Your administrator password is required." default answer "" with hidden answer)
do shell script "kextload /Library/Extensions/tap.kext" with administrator privileges password thepassword
do shell script "kextload /Library/Extensions/tun.kext" with administrator privileges password thepassword
Save it as an application and set it as a login item.
