Checking for running applications on remote machines

I am trying to check for application running on remote machine - it could be LV or some other application.
I have Server and Client applications (developed in LV) running as .exe on separate computers. Only LV-Runtime is installed. They exchange data via Datasockets. The problem I have is that if Client is launched before the server the (Client) takes ownership of certain sockets which causes Server to fail on startup. All the remote Clients have to be shotdown before Server can be started again properly.
I was wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem.

Hi Slawek,
I would suggest using Remote Front Panels in LabVIEW. Remote front panels allow you to view and control a VI front panel remotely, either from within LabVIEW or from within a web browser, by connecting to the LabVIEW built-in web server. There is a tutorial Developer Zone: Remote Panels in LabVIEW -- Distributed Application Development that will provide you with more information.
Also, there are example programs in LabVIEW that walk you through how to programmatically connect to a remote front panel. Go to LabVIEW >> Help >> Find Examples >> Networking >> General >> RemotePanelMethods-Client/Server.vi.
Hope
this helps and good luck!

How to start/stop/restart a java desktop application from remote machine

Hi,
I want to know is there a way in java where i can start/stop/restart a java desktop application running on a remote machine through another java desktop application?
For e.g i have an Admin console which monitors its clients based on socket communication, all of them are java desktop applications. I want to also give start/stop remote clients through my Admin console.
I am thinking in terms of windows system service which can start/restart/stop my clients on request of Admin console, but how can i call this system service remotely?
How can i do it?

I got it. its about connection...

Check windows running application

Hi all,
I have a program that has to check other windows (not LabVIEW programs) that are open. Is there a way to check the running application in LabVIEW?
Thank you for your help,

OK, but is this database file opened from within an application, and is that application running? Then the tasklist command will tell you that.
If you want to see if a specific window is open you can call the Windows API (I'm still assuming you're in Windows) to try to get a handle to the window name. If you get a handle, the window is open. You can use the Windows Utilities for this.

Still Happening - Software HANGING while "Checking for device application updates...."

Windows Vista v4.7 of Blackberry Desktop Software
As soon as I plug my Blackberry in, the desktop software pops up message: "Checking for device application updates....." and it hangs.
I've tried rebooting, re-installing the Desktop Software and sometimes this will solve the problem for a few syncs, but it always comes back.
I tried changing the USB connection from my USB hub directly into the back of the computer and this fixed the problem for a few syncs but now it's BACK AGAIN!!!
Please help!!

I'm having this problem with Windows 7, build 7000. If I unplug my USB connection, the desktop manager seems to unblock, then stops again. Is there an issue with the device driver, jvm incompatabilities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How can I run aqua applications on remote machine

Hi, I would like to know how to run an aqua application on a remote mac, but display the result on the local machine. I can easily do that for X applications under Unix through ssh, but I don't know what is the equivalent for aqua. Since the remote machine is much faster than my local one, I don't want to just mont the remote disk, since in this way I'll be running on my slow local resources.
Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, Screen Sharing is your only option.
Screen Sharing is Apple's dressed up VNC. When going Mac to Mac it is rather good. When mixing 3rd party VNC clients or servers with Apple's Screen Sharing components, you performance may vary.

Command Line Parameters for Run Application.vi in the LVWUtil

I am trying to use the "Run Application.vi" located in the LVWUtil.llb. I am sending a command line similiar to this:
"C:\WINXP\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\qc data\ZVMS Program Updates\Application Installer\install.msi"
this command line works from the Start>Run dialog but the Run Application.vi only sees the beginning of the line "C:\WINXP\system32\msiexec.exe" so it opens the windows installler but does not go to the install.msi file and run it. Does anyone know the correct command line formats for the Run Application.vi to run the entire command line?
Thanks,
BethV

Hello BethV,
I downloaded the LVWUtil32.zip file from the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW example program. In that zip file, is a library entitled Winevent.lib, which includes the Run Application.vi. When you used this VI, I believe the string you passed in as a input had too many quotation marks. Namely, you do not need quotes around the msiexec.exe call. I passed the following string into the Run Application.vi and got the expected results:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /i "C:\mymsi.msi"
Please let me know if it helps.

Spell check for any application

Having only just my iphone I can't believe there is no spell check for the mail functionality. Aside from that why is spell check unavailable for yahoo and gmail through the web browser? Any ideas please...

Move the associated plist files for those applications out of /Library/Preferences/ within your home folder to the Desktop. E.g., com.apple.textedit.plist for TextEdit, quit and relaunch TextEdit, and re-enable spell as you type. If that fixes things, delete the moved file, and do the same with any other apps where it appears to be broken.

To check whether a service is running in a remote machine

My problem is to test whether a service is running in a
machine or not.
I have done a simple socket program.It just takes the IP and the port at which the service is supposed to run.
My algo is to check whether it fails to make a connection or not.
If there is a success the service is running.
Is this
sufficient???

Technically there are more failure points (and presuming configuration failures are ignored.)
If the connection is through a router/gateway then that could fail and the server/service could still be running.
The service could be written in such a way that its functionality is handled in a seperate thread from the connection thread. And that thread blocks/stops. So the connection succeeds even though the service is in a failure state.

How to install applications to remote machines in silent mode?

Hi All,
I have the following question and I hope to find a creative solution.
My applications architecture is a client server one.
I would like the server to remotely connect to its clients machines and silently install a client java application for 2 purposes:
1. Install new clients on computers that werent part of the deployment yet. When the server connects to a new clients he needs send the installation file and execute it
2. Updated existed clients (replace jars, configuration files, etc)
My main goal is to do everything in silent mode (without requiring the users to connect the clients and actively install clients application).
Can any of you think of a Java solution for this? I think the first purpose if the harder one so in case I ask my users to install the clients for the first time, how do I silently upgrade their applications when needed?
Tnx,
Uri

Yes, but when you have 1000 clients it is a lot of work.
I would like to have the upgrade process to be done silently. It is this 'silent' requirement that is suspect. Anything silently installing something is dangerous. Are you one of these people who has Windows automatic updates turned on?
Personally, I am not. but it is good to have the option.
>>
Can webstart run in silent mode? I'm pretty sure it can but I can't be certain and I don't know how to do it since I won't ever use silent upgrades. Read the Webstart documentation.
I can have the server making the client application invoking the URL for the new files (so the user will not have to connect to every client machine and invoke the URL), but how do I do the rest in silent mode?
btw- I can use PsExec to run the installation on new clients (windows only). My main issue now is how to upgrade silently. If you have other ideas than webstart I will be happy to hear.

Issue with groups not being able to run applications on remote server

Hi all..
I've got an older PowerMac G5 running 10.5.8 that gets the OpenDirectory accounts from our MacMini server running 10.6.5. I've got a group setup called "Children" that my kids belong to and which is managed care of the Workgroup manager. However, I find that some of my apps can't be run by any of the kids if they're in subdirectories within /Applications. They receive a "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges." I've tried playing around with various settings and finally decided to not restrict access to any applications but the problems remain.. Some apps can be run just fine but others are out of reach.. Any ideas on how to fix this or perhaps diagnose it?
Thx!

Hi
Another approach is to create a folder in the local Administrators Home folder. Name it Applications. Place the applications you want to restrict access to into that folder. If you have ARD you could use the mkdir and mv commands to achieve this. In some situations I find this an easier way of managing applications rather than what's available in WorkGroup Manager. For me it only tends to work with Apple's built in applications effectively. Anything else is liable to cause a problem along the lines you mention. Some 3rd-Party applications can have dependencies that may be sited in different locations. The trick is tracking down them.

I have followed the steps for running exe on target machine but camera streaming did not found yet.

Install the following run-time engines:
LabVIEW Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
Vision Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
A single-seat Vision Deployment License is required for each target machine on which you install the Vision Run-time Engine. See Related Links for more details.
Copy the following DLLs from your development machine's System Directory, typically C:\Windows\system32, to your target machine's System Directory.
ImaqDirectShowDll.dll
ImaqDirectShowExport.dll
Register ImaqDirectShowExport.dll by selecting the Windows Start Menu and selecting Run.
Type in regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ImaqDirectShowExport.dll and click OK to register the DLL.
If you are on a different OS or if the system directory is different and you want to copy the file path instead of typing the whole path, you can drag the file to the command line in the Run prompt, highlight the path, right-click and select Copy.
Paste in the command prompt window by right-clicking and selecting Paste.
The ImaqDirectShowDll does not have to be registered.
I have followed all above steps ,
Can any one help me for solution ?

My guess is that the driver is missing at the target system.
You can add the driver (part of Vision Acquisition Software) you need (IMAQ, IMAQdx, ..) under the Additional Installers Section of your Build Specification and you will also need a runtime license.

are you running jstatd on the remote server as a user with permission to see the jvm processes you care about?

Checking for running programs using a abap program

Is there a way in ABAP to detect from within a program that another process is running the same program? Meaning if PROG1 is running, could PROG1 check to see if another process is running program PROG1?

Use the locking concept. You can either create your own, or a popular one to use is ESINDX, passing parameters: relid 'ZZ', SRTFD program name, and SRTF2 = 0.
The logic is:
Attempt to get lock (FM ENQUEUE_ESINDX, perhaps).
If lock got -> run program
If lock not got -> quit.
You have to put this logic at the start of your program.
