How to create a program shortcut (command line, not icon)

Hi,
I installed a program from source, it's a biological structure modeling software. How can I make a shortcut so that I just type in the name of the program to get it to start? Thanks!

There are two ways of doing it, depending on what you want to accomplish. Both require that you edit the file ~/.bashrc (I assume you use bash)
1) If the application places all the executable files in a given directory (let's say /opt/Application/bin/), you can access all those executables directly by simply telling your shell where to look (in the same way the shell automatically looks for executable files in eg. /usr/bin). In ~/.bashrc, you would have to add a line that looks like this:
PATH="$PATH:/opt/Application/bin"
2) If you just want to make a traditional "shortcut" that executes a given command, this can be done with alias. Add this command to your ~/.bashrc:
alias shortcut="some command"
In this case, typing shortcut into a terminal will be interpreted just like if you had typed some command instead.
In order to try out these changes, either restart your terminal or run this command:
source ~/.bashrc
[EDIT]
I was obviously beaten to it

[plasma] Add icon of "command line" on desktop [Solved]

Hi,
for my work i use a ssh redirect port to make some applications (rdp, samba...) works and like this i can work outside like if i were inside the factory. So on kde4 i could put an icon with the command line, directly on the desktop.
I guess it is possible to do the same on kde5. For simple application on kde5 i drag on the screen but it is not possible to see inside it and to change the code that is use.
Is ther a way to do that on kde5 (plasma).
Thanks
Sincerely

Thanks but is there any way to only have icon on desktop and not a line on the menu ? I can see the 2 are connected.
Thanks

Desktop, One line of icons frozen, and a window frozen on the side, top bar shadows of icons frozen.

So on my desktop, one line of icons is frozen, although the same icons are also on my desktop and actually working. Also the edge of a window is frozen. Lastly, on the right of the top bar, the little icons like battery, wifi, etc. are frozen as shadows underneath all the working icons... Basically everything is working right, just "copies" of the others are frozen...

Check in System Preferences>Universal Access and see if Zoom is on. If you have toddlers or cats this can accidentally turned on by hitting a group of keys that include Option + Command + 8.
To prevent this being accidentally activated in the future go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Universal Access and uncheck all the boxes.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Problem in passing parameters in command line in desktop

Hi,
I am trying to generate reports from command line (Oracle Discoverer 4i Version 4.1.42.04.00) but I am facing problems when I try to pass date or numeric parameters. It seems to work with strings
The following command is successful when i pass string as parameters
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb load_report_1 /batch /sheet 2 /parameter "P Date" "31-JUL-2006 Month End" /export xls c:\Temp\load_report_!
But in the following commands the command line execution stops when a worksheet with parameters is encountered. Once then parameter is entered the command line is executed successfully. In these problem cases it seems like the /parameter option is not being recognized. I have tried to pass parameters with double quotes, single quotes, without any quotes.
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb "load report 2" /sheet 3 /parameter "Select P Day" "20-JUN-2006" /batch /export xls c:\Temp\load_Report_2
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb "load report 3" /batch /sheet 1 /parameter "Enter Date Using Format YYYYMMDD" 20060703 /export xls c:\Temp\load_report_3
The only difference I can see is that I have not used double quotes in the command line that is successful in generating reports with parameters.
Any inputs will be appreciated - we are stuck in our project due to this issue. Many thanks.
Warm regards
Sucharita

Hi
I work in the same team as the original poster.
We tried by changing NLS_DATE_FORMAT for the oracle_home.
Just to clarify our issue I am describing it one more time below -
Using Disc desktop (4.1.42) we are trying to run the reports using command line interface. Any report that takes character input for the parameters ,is running fine in the batch mode without prompting.
Any report that takes Date/Numeric input for the parameters, though in batch mode, is prompting for user to give the parameters.We tried with quotes as well.
For Example -
1. Character input : when we run this command supplying the input parameter values (which are characters), report runs fine without prompting for values.
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect rep/rep@orals /opendb Schd_Report /batch /sheet 2 /parameter "Process Date" "31-JUL-2006 Month End" /export xls c:\audit_report_5
2. Date Input -
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect rep/rep@orals /opendb "DLS.Arrears Reports" /batch /sheet 1 /parameter "Please Enter Date Using Format YYYYMMDD" 20060703 /export xls c:\CA_arr
When we submit this we get a window prompting for the input values. So his is the issue.
Thanks

HT3924 Target display mode connects but only displays desktop background, no files or command lines

I have connected my early 2014 MacBook to a late 2012 imac and connected them via Thunderbolt cable. Pressing Command F2 causes the screen on teh iMac to change to teh MacBook background screen, but does not display any desktop files or command lines. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi tdmone,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below may help you with the Target Display Mode options for connecting your Macbook and iMac:

Are you connecting via the Thunderbolt ports on both computers?
How do I enable TDM?
Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and off.
I hope this information helps ....

Receiving message"There was a problem sending the command to the program" every time I access a website using a desktop icon via Firefox.

When I click on a desktop icon and access a site via Firefox I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This started to happen after I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and the message still comes up every time. The site will come up about three seconds after the message appears but the message is a real pain to put up with. What is the problem? I am ready to dump Firefox and go to Opera.

Webstart-deployed desktop app, command line and Windows ShellExecute.

Hi all,
I want to be able to associate Windows Shell registry actions (shellExecute from right click menu, double click, and protocols) with a Webstart Java Swing desktop app. This is pretty key to our deployment strategy.
I have two options that I'm pursuing right now.
OPTION A
Unfortunately I'm encountering a few problems:
1) javaws.exe does not accept parameters, therefore I can't pass parameters directly from a Windows command line
2) The only way to get arguments in is through the jnlp file. Sounds like this is possible using a jnlp written by a servlet. But can I just pass GET parameters to my servlet like so?
http://webstart.com/go/?param=value&param2=value2Would that work?
2a) subissue: I want to use JNLP's SingleInstance to make sure that only one of my app is running at any time. It sounds like that JNLP interface also allows for new parameters to be passed in as arguments... but if I pass in parameters to my webstart address, will SingleInstance properly recognize that http://webstart/go and http://webstart/go?param=value are the same program?
OPTION B
So the alternative deployment strategy that I'm contemplating is using webstart, but then deploying a separate .jar to the machine and registering that to be the argument acceptor from Windows. So windows would run something like so:
java -jar cmdLauncher.jar argshereFrom there I will do two things:
a) If the program is already running, then I pass the argument in using network sockets and deal with it like so.
b) If the program isn't already running, then I execute javaws http://myurl and then maybe write to the socket when it's ready. This might really suck since i'll have to poll until the socket is ready.
Anyway, was hoping someone with more webstart internals had some idea as to
a) would a option A (dynamic servlet) work in the way I expect?
b) Is option B the only way to really do it? It certainly seems feasible at this point.
Ideally I just wish javaws.exe allowed passing arguments, and thus this entire problem would not exist. It's a pretty powerful and important feature for WebStart to be able to be a fully featured deployment solution.

OPTION A
Unfortunately I'm encountering a few problems:
1) javaws.exe does not accept parameters, therefore I
can't pass parameters directly from a Windows command
line
2) The only way to get arguments in is through the
jnlp file. Or the SingleInstanceService.
....Sounds like this is possible using a jnlp
written by a servlet. But can I just pass GET
parameters to my servlet like so?
http://webstart.com/go/?param=value�m2=value
2Would that work?Huh? Assuming the servlet that produces the
launch file fir this application is called 'go', and that
servlet returns the correct content-type, and writes
the two params in the URL into the JNLP as
arguments, then.. yes - this should work.
http://webstart.com/go?param=value�m2=value2Note the lack of one '/'.
( I have not had much direct experience with
JNLP combined with servlets, but am familiar
with both. )
2a) subissue: I want to use JNLP's SingleInstance to
make sure that only one of my app is running at any
time. It sounds like that JNLP interface also allows
for new parameters to be passed in as arguments...
but if I pass in parameters to my webstart address,
will SingleInstance properly recognize that
http://webstart/go and http://webstart/go?param=value
are the same program?As I understand from my experience, the URL
becomes redundant, any params that were in
the JNLP are ignored in preference to the single
-open argument. Here is my buildable example..
http://www.physci.org/jws/#sis
a) would a option A (dynamic servlet) work in the way
I expect?Sounds like it.

Desktop command line parameter problem

We have just completed an upgrade from Discoverer 4i to 10g. We use the desktop version installed on a windows 2000 terminal server to run a batch file nightly (using the windows task scheduler to call the batch file). This runs the reports, then exports them in xls format to a public directory. During my testing I installed the 10g desktop version on my win xp machine to test the command line capabilities - we have about 50 reports that run nightly, and everything ran fine. Now I have installed the 10g Desktop and Admin versions on the terminal server, and need to use this new version to run the reports nightly. I did the install as an admin, and I am running the scheduled task as an admin. The reports are failing, complaining about the parameter values. With the exception of the path to the dis51usr.exe file, I'm using the exact same command line on my pc as I'm using on the terminal server.
Here's the command line I'm using on my pc, which runs fine:
c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\DIS51USR.EXE /connect it_reports/password@prod /opendb "Order Shipments" /parameter "From Date" "01-APR-2006" /parameter "To Date" "30-APR-2006" /parameter "Sales Territory" "North America" /export xls "\\docserve\rhonda\Discoverer\DiscovererReporting\SalesReporting\North America\Order Shipments Apr 2006.xls" /batch
Here's the command line I'm using on the terminal server:
d:\oracle10g\BIToolsHome_1\bin\DIS51USR.EXE /connect it_reports/password@prod /opendb "Order Shipments" /parameter "From Date" "01-APR-2006" /parameter "To Date" "30-APR-2006" /parameter "Sales Territory" "North America" /export xls "\\docserve\rhonda\Discoverer\DiscovererReporting\SalesReporting\North America\Order Shipments Apr 2006.xls" /batch
This fails, with the following noted in the log file:
4/25/2006 1:54:09 PM
d:\oracle10g\BIToolsHome_1\bin\DIS51USR.EXE /connect it_reports/password@prod /opendb Order Shipments /parameter From Date 01-APR-2006 /parameter To Date 30-APR-2006 /parameter Sales Territory North America /export xls \\docserve\rhonda\Discoverer\DiscovererReporting\SalesReporting\North America\Order Shipments Apr 2006.xls /batch
Invalid value "From Date" for parameter "01-APR-2006"
Invalid value "To Date" for parameter "30-APR-2006"
Invalid value "Sales Territory" for parameter "North America"
4/25/2006 1:54:10 PM
I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now. Just got my copy of the new Discoverer 10g Handbook in the mail today (great book, by the way!) - I was hoping it would shed some light on this problem, but I'm still stuck. I'm hoping I'm missing something really simple here, and appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks
Rhonda

Hello Ott,
Yes, I tried that, because that is what the error message indicates. I also tried using single quotes instead of double around the parameter names and/or parameter values, and using no quotes at all. The confusing thing is that the same command works on my pc installation. I have also looked at all the option settings between the 2 installations, and made sure they are the same. The only difference is the operating system - for the life of me I can't figure out why 10g would act any different than 4i installed on the same OS, or for that matter why 10g would act any different installed on XP vs Terminal Server. I've got to be missing something simple here.
thanks
Rhonda

Remote Desktop Initiating Command Line Software Update to local server

Hi there-
We have a Software Update server (Mac OS X 10.4.4 Server) that works great. I'm trying to initiate a software update on a lab of 20 computers with ARD through the "send unix command." Now, because it's a software update, you need admin privs to install the software.
I'm initiating the command line software update as root so that it will install without prompting for a password (and not having to type one in 20 times).
However, as root user or any other admin the Open Directory setting to have the computer point at our local software update server is ignored. Is there any way around this other than not allowing administrators ignore management settings?
There doesn't seem to be any way to tell the software update command line utility what server to look at.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and came up with this solution. Create this text file and then copy it to /Library/Managed Preferences/root/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist on each workstation. Replace the <<your server here>> with the address of your actual software update server.

Hi all,
How can I to export a sheet using command line in Discoverer 10g? It's posible?
Thanks a lot.

also check out disco51.exe /?

Running Discoverer Desktop query.... via command line

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well,
I have learned how to run Discoverer using command line.
My question is:
===========
When you log into Discoverer manually, the parameters values that were last used in the last run display when
the query opens....
When i run Discoverer command line, i have to explicitly mention all the parameter names and their values
If i do not mention the parameters, i get an error message: unresolve parameter...
I'd really like to run the query command line style WITHOUT mentioning parameters, and wish Discoverer to run
the query with the default parameters....
Is this possible...
Thx for your ideas and advice, sandra

Hi Tamir,

My desktop icons are no longer "app related" - no colour!

Hi there. I used a little app called Font Nuke because my Word docs were taking some time to open up and this seems to be font-related. As a result of this, upon the restart, my desktop icons which represent pdf, jpeg, .doc and .xls are all black & white, and the text of all my desktop icons and folders is now looking fuzzy as well as strangely placed. Hmmm. I closed all apps and removed the com.apple.finer.plist doc from my preferences, rebooted, and the problem continues. I see that zooming my desktop icons from 28 (preferred size) to 76 solves the issue, but nobody wants a desktop icon on a laptop screen to be so large. What the......? is going on???? Grateful for any advice on this one! Thanks.

Delete Font Nuke and run this one-line command in the Terminal app, OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon, and select Relaunch.
