Command-line shutdown for Xserve RAID?

We have had serveral A/C failures that have left our computer room extremely hot (104 degrees a week ago). We will be getting a temperature sensor that can trigger a shutdown event for the servers. However, I don't know how to issue a remote command (like, ssh host shutdown) to get the RAID to actually power off so it won't cook itself.
Any ideas?

I suppose I should have said automated command-line shutdown. Yes, what you say is true. However, I need to have a script that runs when a room over-temp alarm occurs that will shutdown all running machines, in the absence of any people. Also, the network the RAID is on is not connected to the outside world, so I can not see it when I'm not at work.

Repair Utility for xServe RAID?

We have an xServe with an attached RAID consisting of four 350 GB drives. The drives are set up as a RAID. Due to storms/hot weather (air conditioning failed) the server restarted and the RAID powered down. The xServe is fine but the RAID is not functioning. From RAID Admin the drives all show up and are OK but the array is not showing up. Is there any disk repair utility that would be useful on a RAID?
xServe RAID Mac OS X (10.4.6)
xServe RAID Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The fact that it's showing up as spares is a significant problem. The host won't recognize it until the RAID recognizes the array. There is no separate utility to help you with this, other than RAID Admin.
What firmware version is on the array? If it's 1.5, there's a "recognize array" option that you should try. If it's an older version, I'd tell you it would be nice if you could have gone back in time and upgraded the firmware. Since that's not possible, you should call AppleCare (assuming you have got APS&S for Xserve RAID, or the machine is < 1 year old) and inquire about your options.

Is there a command line option for VNC to automatically launch in fullscreen mode?

I can launch a VNC window from the command line, as such:
open vnc://username:password@hostname
... but I'd like it to automatically start in full screen mode. Is there a command line option for this?
I'm using an old MacMini purely to connect to another Mac over screen sharing, but when the MacMini boots I'd like it to go straight into the fullscreen of the other desktop.
Many thanks!

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

Command line parameters for automator?

I'm trying to setup a cron job to so that every morning at 8 am "New Mail.workflow" will open and run. I'm able to get it to open but I was wondering if there were command line parameters for Automator that could open AND run a workflow file? Ideally I'd like it to close after running, but I'll worry about that later. Thanks in advance.

The preferred way is to save your workflow as an application and then call usr/bin/open on it. If for some reason you must have the workflow run inside of Automator (not self-contained) then you're looking at some quality time with man osascript. As it happens Apple has removed even the need for Cron for most users. A click to File -> Save As Plug-In -> for iCal handles it from start to finish.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Automator has its own simple command line utility for running *.workflow files. Check out man automator

Command line parameters for al_engine.exe

If you go to a command line window on a DS server and type al_engine.exe with no parameters it prints "Usage" information. Some of the parameters it mentions are known to the community (like -XX, -XI, etc). However there are some which sound pretty interesting, but I can't find any information or examples how it should be used. Examples:
-L<list of value> : List of Object Labels from UI (separated by , or ; or space) to filter.
-Je<XML file> Execute the Installation scenario defined in XML file.
-jd"datastore delta file in quotes>" : Modify datastore values using "file"
-Jf, -Ja, -We, and many more.
I am particularily interested in -Je functiohnality - it sounds like it can be used to automate deployment. I am using import/export options to do some automation, but real automation would include deletion of some objects, adding jobs to projects, etc.
Can anybody help with the documentation/examples?

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.

Command line tools for xcode??

I am used to compiling code much like the java sdk works from terminal where I say javac the filename and then i get a .class file that i can run by doing the command java and then the .class file after. I am now wanting to learn c++ and I dont feel like installing xcode all i want is a compiler that can run from terminal. i found command line tools for xcode on the apple developers site and i was wondering do i need xcode for this to run and after that what the commands are and how i compile/run the code. But my biggest question is still wether or not i need xcode to let command line tools work. ive read in a couple places i dont need it but in other ive read you do can i get help?!

You don't need Xcode to compile your apps with; just the compiler/linker.
Xcode is Apple's IDE. One could write the same code in TextEdit but that wouldn't be easy nor fun.

Command line tools for xcode mac os x 10.6.8

Hi,
Will the latest command line tool work for mac os x 10.6.8 also? If yes, I will go ahead and download them.
If no, please help find a download location for command line tools for mac os x 10.6.8.
Also, please let me know if that will support the development of latest ios apps.

developing for "the latest iOS Apps" is supported by the latest X-code tools, which does NOT run under 10.6.8.
Version 3.2.6 will run under 10.6.6 and later.
Version 5.0.1 requires 10.8.4 or later.
Version 6.1.1 (currently the latest) requires 10.9.4 or later.

Compiling command line utilities for Linux with static libc

Hi,
The following command used to compile and link BerkeleyDB with both static libdb and static libc:
make clean
env LDFLAGS=-static ../dist/configure --disable-shared
make
Now the command only statically links libdb and not libc.
[root@fedora8 ~]# ldd /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.3/bin/db_dump
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00110000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00c15000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00a88000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a69000)
[root@fedora8 ~]#
It appears that the link of the command line utilities has now been moved into "make install".
Can anyone suggest how to also force a static link of libc?

The command line utils are in /opt/novell/ncl/bin. There are man pages for
them to describe how they work. If you run "ncl_man" it will list all the
NCL man pages.

Adobe DNG Converter - command-line parameters for new 1.4 features

Adobe DNG Converter - I need to know what the command-line parameters are for the new DNG-1.4 options (e.g. lossy compression).
Last I checked, there was no updated documentation released - would somebody please help?
Rob

By inspecting strings in the exe file using ProcessExplorer (MS SysInternals), I found these command-line switches for controlling lossy compression:
-lossy
-size
-count

I don't know if this is the best way, but thats what I have done there for passing some arguments, where the order of them isn't pre-given (you can pass the params in the order you want).
The CAPITAL vars are pre-defined final Strings holding the param-names, e.g.
public static final String ONE_PATERN = "-p";
public static final String PATERNLIST = "-plist";
public static final String PATERNFILE = "-pfile";Another trick sometimes used in Linux/Unix, if you have only false/true combinations, are numbers from pow 2 (2,4,8,16). In C they are used because of the binary representation, but it has some benefits. E.g. a value of 2 (0010) and another true set on 4 (0100) results binary in 6 (0110), so you can mix parameters in only one value, and with a byte - array you could check, if the flag for a given param is set. But this way is a little tricky for the end-user.
