Can't open .term Terminal.app files from command line

Howdy. I use Terminal.app constantly for ssh'ing into numerous remote machines. On my G4 Powerbook I have simply created .term files with customized colors, titlebars, and an appropriate ssh execution string for each machine/userid combination, which I am able to open with "open ~/bin/foo.term". Life is no longer so joyously simple on my new Intel iMac. I create a .term file (via Cmd-s while in a terminal window), but the above command to open foo.term now simply doesn't work on my iMac once a single terminal window has been opened (even after it's been closed) -- I can start one such file only from the finder or via Launchbar or Quicksilver. The only way I can use my .term files is by switching to Terminal and selecting File...Open and clicking on the .term file -- which, being a command line (and Launchbar) junkie, I hate, of course. Applescripts don't work either.
I would be forever grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this problem!

I cannot do it either.
Ah, interesting -- thanks for the input. I had thought the problem might have something to do with the fact that I was using an Intel iMac, but you are using a PPC iBook. The problem isn't with 10.4.6 either, as that is what I'm running on my G4 Powerbook, and the .term files work as expected on that machine.
Initially I thought it was a
problem with permissions, i.e the term file hadn't
the execute bit set (which it did not). Setting the x
bit though did not help at all.
Right, the .term files aren't executable.
A work around was to
save the command(s) into a plain text document in
text edit (not rtf) as a .command file (no txt
extension in this case) and set its execute bit in
terminal (sudo chmod u+x ...).
I don't quite understand the workaround -- what command(s) exactly did you put into the .command file? Could you paste the contents of such a file here?
I have not dealt with term files extensively but I
noticed that .term files are xml ones. Could anyone
shed some light in possible changes in the way
terminal handles them?
Since the .term files work as desired on my Powerbook, it now doesn't appear that Terminal.app has changed its processing of the files. Something else is going on here.

  • Running Unit Test from test manager that run bat file from command line

    Hi ,
    I am trying to run Jsystem (java framewotk) from command line using runScenario.bat thru unit test that i associated to test in test manager.
    the idea is that when i ran the automated test  from MTM - it will run the the unit test that will run the appropriate test case in java.
    i wrote the code like this : 
    using System;
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
    namespace UnitTestProject3
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    try
    String command = "c:\\JSYSTEM\\runner\\runScenario.bat
    c:\\Users\\ryeshua\\Source\\Workspaces\\Auto1\\my-tests-project\\target\\classes scenarios\\feature1 RoeySetup.xml ";
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =
    new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + command);
    procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    //procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
    proc.Start();
    string result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(result);
    catch (Exception objException)
    // Log the exception
    and when i ran it from visual studio it worked perfect. and update  the Jsystem logs of the junit test in the jsystem/runner/log folder.
    but when i added it to associated test and ran it from MTM - it pass but it does not update  the logs in jsystem folder.
    the problem that i dont know what is not working. i cant see the output of it when i ran from mtm but can see when i ran from VS.
    i am using VS 2013 Pro with MTM 2013.
    please advice
    Roey

    Hi Roey,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, could you please tell me how you generate the log file under the jsystem folder?
    Generally, I know that when we run unit test from VS IDE, the file will be saved into the local machine. But when we run unit test from MTM, the unit test method will be run on the test agent machine, so the file will be saved into the test agent machine.
    Therefore, I suggest you could check if you did not see the updated logs file in jsystem folder on the test agent machine.
    In addition, I suggest you could try to copy this unit test project on this test agent machine and then run the unit test method using mstest.exe in command line and then check if you can update the logs file.

  • Run PDF File from command line and goto a bookmark

    Hi,
    I need to open a pdf file vi command line (WinXP / Win7).
    Till this I do not have a problem.
    But I need to go to a bookmark in the file direct after opening the file.
    I tried "acrord23.exe /a nameddest=BOOKMARK file.pdf" but this opened only the file.
    "acrord23.exe /a zoom=50 file.pdf" works fine.
    Is there another parameter to go to a bookmark after open a file?
    Where is my mistake?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Marc
    Message was edited by: mgemmerich - reason: typo

    Hi,
    I read the PDF Open Parameters reference. So I tried the nameddest. I think the nameddest is a bookmark, or is this wrong?
    The background is, that we have the dokumentation for our application in word. So we save the word as pdf. Each chapter is now a bookmark.
    In the application we want to call the pdf and jump to the bookmark. Each frame were you can call "help" is a chapter/bookmark.
    Or is there another way to do this?
    Regards

  • Can't run JavaFX app as a jar file from command line

    I'm trying to build a JavaFX app from scratch (that is, by including the jar file from the JavaFX SDK rather than by using the special JavaFX project type from NetBeans). It runs fine in NetBeans. However, when I try to launch it as a jar file from the command line (using "java -jar dist\TestApp") I get the following. Has anybody seen this before, and if so how can I fix it?:

    Unsatisfied link means that Java is trying to access a native library, but it cannot be found. As to why this error is being thrown, here is my guess:
    If you open up one of the sample jars with a zip viewer, you will see that the Manifest file has the following entries:
    >
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    JavaFX-Version: 2.0
    implementation-vendor: Oracle
    implementation-title: BrickBreaker
    implementation-version: 1.0
    JavaFX-Application-Class: brickbreaker.Main
    Created-By: JavaFX Packager
    Main-Class: com/javafx/main/Main
    >
    In other words, a JavaFX project works a bit differently than a normal Java project. com/javafx/main/Main is used as the Main class and your "Main" class is called later.
    If you are trying to build this from a normal Java project, then com/javafx/main/Main will not be created and it will call your Main class right away. Thus, whatever setup is needed to run JavaFX will not occur.

  • Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?

    Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox.  Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox.  Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?

    George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS).  I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
    As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know.  I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using??  I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
    Many, many thanks for your reply!!

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: Can't open or download PDF-file from bank

  • Can't Open any non-code files from "Local" site list

    Dreamweaver 8. . .
    When attempting to open any file type from the local file list (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .mdb, etc.), I get a "Can't find a valid editor for this file extension". I can browse to the application and open it that way, but it doesn't remember this info and I have to do that every time I want to open a local file.
    .php, .htm, etc. open just fine in the Dreamweaver editor but there seems to be no associations built from/to the local library. I can open files from Windows Explorer directly without problems.
    Any suggestions?

  • Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

    I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

    Me too. Same kind of problem with Dired also: the menus are empty. I've even gone so far as to reinstall a fresh Archlinux, although not just for this purpose (I just had to try the Beta Fedora 12, but it crashed all over the place. It lasted about an hour on my machine). I know that if I had any business using Emacs I should know how to fix this, but I don't have a clue. It's been happening for a couple weeks now. And just to reiterate, this is a clean install, I haven't messed with it at all, I don't even have a custom .emacs to show. I haven't looked to see if this empty menu thing happens anywhere else or not--these are just the two things I use emacs for.
    I don't see a bug report for this, but I don't feel I have the qualifications to submit a good bug report, so I'm hoping someone qualified will hear our crys for help. Forgive my ignorance, this is my first time posting on here.

  • Passing arguments to the jsx file from command line

    Thanks for taking my question.
    I am using the following to be able to run my script from the command line.In case you were wondering on why i would be doing this- i would need to invoke the javascript from a server side code(like java,php etc. in my case it is java)
    "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx"
    Anyways, i have been successful in running the myscript.jsx from the command line but i am not able to figure out how i could pass arguments to "myscript.jsx" from the command line, and be able to refer to these arguments within the script.
    I have tried the following
    "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx" "argument1" "argument2"
    and tried to refer these arguments within the script using arguments[0] and arguments[1] . But looks like this does not work.
    Any thoughts?????

    To run JavaScript from the prompt using ExtendScript Toolkit 1.0.3 or 2.0.2 you need to do the following:
    Add the line #target indesign to the top of your script otherwise ESTK will open without executing the script. Example:
    #target indesign
    //MakeDocumentWithParameters.jsx
    //An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
    //Shows how to use the parameters of the document.open method.
    //The first parameter (showingWindow) controls the visibility of the
    //document. Hidden documents are not minimized, and will not appear until
    //you add a new window to the document. The second parameter (documentPreset)
    //specifies the document preset to use. The following line assumes that
    //you have a document preset named "Flyer" on your system.
    var myDocument = app.documents.add(true, app.documentPresets.item("Flyer"));
    //SaveDocumentAs.jsx
    //An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
    //If the active document has not been saved (ever), save it.
    if(app.activeDocument.saved == false){
    //If you do not provide a file name, InDesign will display the Save dialog box.
    app.activeDocument.save(new File("/c/temp/myTestDocument.indd"));
    Ensure Indesign is open. Execute the following command:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "[path to script]\script.jsx"
    For example:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\Presets\Scripts\test.jsx"
    This command can be easily called from Java or any other third party application of your choice.
    It took me a while to find this information, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
    Good luck!
