Command-line startup...

I've a sidekick app that needs to have a go at the lrcat file before starting up Lightroom - doesn't work though if Lightroom loads a different catalog when it comes up. Is it possible to convince Lightroom to load a specified catalog when starting via command line?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Jeff,
I think your example starts both processes asynchronously, and so there's a race condition, which I'd prefer to avoid, but yes - that's the general idea.
At the moment, its actually:
- execute script/app which starts Lightroom after finishing with catalog.
i.e. the app thats accessing the catalog will persist after Lightroom is running.
All of this to support a Lightroom sidekick app that talks to a plugin via a background task. Its up and running now, with communication via http (xmlrpc) and full decoding of previews so it can display thumbs --> 1:1. Demo app presently in python (cross platform).
If anybody is willing to test, or is interested in details, feel free to PM me.

Command line startup options to Graphical Debugger

Hi,
With Workshop 5.0 as well as Forte Developer 6, it was possible to pass a program name at the command line with the -D option. This, in conjunction with an appropriate .dbxrc file, allowed me to invoke Workshop (and Forte Developer 6) from my own script, with the program to be debugged pre-loaded in the debugger window.
I did not see the "-D" startup option for runide.sh. Is there an alternative way in Sun One Studio to get the functionality offered by the -D option of Workshop and Forte Developer 6?
Thanks in advance.

Why wouldn't registry switches work for you?
AFAIK, its the only way you are going to be able to modify the JRE (on Windows). You really need to be able to modify the registry if you want to work with iAS.

Prevent Startup Form from Loading using Command Line Arguments

Hi there
I'm developing a VB.NET windows forms application in VS2013.
The application will have 2 ways of being executed, one being by the user manually and the other being automated by the task scheduler.
When executed by the task scheduler, command line arguments will be used so that the application is aware that it is being run automatically and not by a user.
My problem is that I want the startup form to load when run by a user but I don't want it to load when it is run automatically, I just want to execute code.
Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event?
Cheers

Hi Aureuz,
>>Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event
It is impossible to accomplish it in the MyApplication_Startup event, we can use Form.Shown event:
#Form.Shown Event
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.shown(v=vs.110).aspx
If we start a form by using the commandline arguments, the count of CommandLineArgs will be above one, if so, use Me.Hide() method to hide this form.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Shown
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
Me.Hide()
Else
Me.Show()
End If
End Sub
You can also uncheck "Enable application framework" on the project properties application tab and select your startup object to a module object:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
'Run your background code
Else
Dim f As New Form1
f.ShowDialog()
End If
End Sub
End Module

Startup and shutdown from command line with version 9i

Hi, i'm an Oracle newbie. I heard it's possible to startup and shutdown an oracle (instance? or database? which one is it) from the command line.
A little background on what it is that I want to do:
I'm looking to backup a database by copying the files that make up the database to a location from where they will be commited to tape media. To do this I must shutdown the database, copy the files, and startup the database again.
At the moment the backups are full exports which I find unnecessary since it is a development database which is never used at night. It is therefore not an issue if we want to shut it down and re-start it after a few minutes. (I think it would take longer to export as opposed to copy the files right?)
I need help and advice :
1. Is my way of going about this correct ?
2. How do I startup/shutdown from the command line (sqlplus user/password command) or should I use another utility ?
Thanks,
Gabriel

set oracle_sid=ORCL ==> your database namethis is NOT always true. It's instance name. usually, we set instance name is same as database name.But we also can set instance name is different from database name.
for example.

Noob. Command Line says "insufficient privileges". wont STARTUP

Hi,
I am new to SQL and have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. OracleXE.exe.
When I try to use the Command Line via the start menu, I enter STARTUP and it says "insufficient privileges"
Logging in via the GUI works fine, I have created tables and added data to them, but I wish to use the command line.
Many thanks for any advice.
Thanks.

Does anybody know the itunes startup switches / command lines?

I have 2 itunes librarys and dont like having to hold Shift when I open itunes every time to switch itunes librarys.
I want to create 2 shortcuts to itunes on my desktop, each containing a switch / command line to open the desired library
Does anybody know what the switches / command lines are to startup itunes?

As far as I know, the only arguments iTunes.exe supports is a path to a file to start playing (music or video). You can't tell it via command-line switches to open a certain library.
I do however have a helper program that will do what you want. You give it the path to your library folder as an argument, so you have to create shortcuts to my exe, with the library folder as the argument.
For example, if the path to one of your iTunes Library is C:\library (i.e. inside C:\library is the file "iTunes Library.itl", the "iTunes Music" folder, etc.), then the shortcut target would be:<pre>C:\itunesopenlibrary.exe -b C:\library</pre>
The program works by editing the iTunes Prefs.xml directly, then starting iTunes. The -b switch is to make a backup of the prefs file before editing it. Note, however, that it only makes one backup; the next time you run itunesopenlibrary.exe with "-b", it will overwrite the last backup.
Download the program here:
http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/index.html#itunesopenlibrary

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?:
*** Fallback to Prism SW pipeline

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.

Command line hangs when starting OC4J with MapViewer

Hello,
I have a simple development setup with a stand-alone oc4j instance installed via the MapViewer Quick Start Kit, on an 11g database, on a Windows XP workstation.
The problem: When I start the oc4j instance everything seems to start up successfully - the AS Control, the MapViewer EAR, etc.., but the command line window hangs after the last command is executed. It does not return to the command prompt. And if I close the Command Prompt window the oc4j instance automatically shuts down. Any thoughts on why this is hanging? Or is this normal behavior? Thank you. The text of the startup is shown below.
(Oh...and if you have any idea why I am getting a string of [ConverterRule] WARNINGS, please let me know. Thanks.)

7410 booting directly to grub command line after forced restart?

I'm running a 7410 (2x 100gb SSDs and 2x 500gb sata) with a j4400 containing 24 1tb drives. I attempted to create a pool and the bui hung so I went back to the SP and did a stop /SYS. After doing a start /SYS then starting the console, it goes through the bios startup, then initializes the external SAS card and after that immediately drops into the grub command line. There's no grub menu or anything, just the CL. Any idea how I can get back into the 7000 appliance software? As you can undoubtedly tell, I'm kind of a newbie so any help will be greatly appreciated!

G5 will not boot into OSX - stays at a command-line prompt

My G5 will not boot into OS X. I would appreciate and and all advice. Thanks.
What happened:
I had the G5 running one morning, with the Isight camera on, plugged into the front-console firewire port. I was running EvoCam software.
At about 2 hours into running, the cam stopped broadcasting – I got home to check it out three hours later, and the screen was black, and the fan was louder than I had ever, ever heard it on this box.
I did a hard shut-down with the powerbutton on the Cinema Display monitor.
At reboot, I see a grey screen for approx 5 seconds, with a dark grey apple logo, and then the screen goes to black, with a command-line prompt.
It’s been like that ever since.
I ran the Apple Hardware test, from the internal CD drive, and it shows no errors.
I cannot boot from an OSX installer DVD. It won’t recognize it. It goes straight to the black screen and Command line prompt.
I have re-seated the RAM, as well as the Airport Card. The only other card – which I have not re-seated, it the video card.
I am able to use the machine in Target Mode, so I can extract data from the drives, which is great. Oddly enough, I’m able to use the front-console firewire port to connect to my other Mac in Target mode – with no problems. Also – in Target mode, the fan never goes above the usual quiet self.
I would appreciate any advice one can provide. Thanks!
The machine:

Error message in Command line (cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode)

Hello Experts
I'm new in Oracle and trying to connect to my database though SQL command line. After I login as SYS I user I get the message that 'connected to idle instance'. Then I use “STARTUP” to connect to database. Now from my understanding it should mount the database and open it as well. But it does'nt happens.Instead I get the message 'cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode' . I'm not sure why it can't mound the database and what should I do to make it working. Please can somebody show me how to make it working again. Here are the details about my problem
Enter user-name: SYS as SYSDBA

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you so much for both of you. I've checked everything. All looks fine to me and then i tried to connect though SQL and it worked. Now what I've notice that this time I didn't start Enterprise Manager only I started the listner and then start sql it worked. Does this means that I can't use both SQL and EM at a time together?

How to pass in variables using the command line when starting ActionScript native app

How do I pass in variables or startup arguments using the command line when starting an ActionScript native app? For example, I have my app call MySweetWidget and it has been compiled with Adobe AIR captive runtime so now I have MySweetWidget.exe.
In the command line, I am calling MySweetWidget.exe and would like to pass in variables or properties to the application. I would assume that those variables are then read from the loaderInfo.parameters object.
Please let me know if the Adobe AIR runtime supports passing in parameters to the native runtime. If so, I would like help determining the correct format of how to pass in the variables. Then would you read those from the loaderinfo.parameters object?
Thanks,
Jeff

I found the answer to my own question:
Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

Merge/concatenate animation codec movie files in the command line/shell

We know how to join 2 mp4/h264 movies together in the command line/shell via MP4Box.
We have not been able to find a similar tool for joining to Quicktime Animation codec movie together via command line/shell.
Anyone know how to do that of have suggestions?
thanks,
paul

Hi,
I'm also having trouble with this same issue. I've been trying to change the Quicktime Default Setting to 10-bit uncompressed (btw codec works fine out directly out of QT and other apps), or to use the command line to do quick renders of tiff frame sequences to QT 10-bit. I think its a problem with my syntax on the command line. As per the manual I set up a fileout in a script with 10-bit as the codec, opened the script in Textedit and followed the instructions on p393, and dropped it into the include/startup directory. Below is a copy of the Textedit view of the script output settings. Also, If I want to use these settings the command line what should I change? The quotation marks, commas etc?
"QuickTime", "Shake 3 QT 1", "Apple FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2",
0, "100W@c6000WDcsuHpoe10pFnKA6W230PPMMRH#0LgfI5ALV1EaKGn3DG3214QaPb03SeOBPg00K1bY AESIIW0KAbabF7YWOQan8401v6QvQehFnRYIBt9be1B4AEjYA6ci8YmM#IKXCg5aRMZC2MXBM0Ani04w HAJLmBrQ97MtegeEEO9d5oBoxCgv7GNhEOvai8INwFwb2roIf91bvbr040HAK4IYCW0",
0, 44100, 16);
I get the same message returned in Terminal:
error: - NRiCompressor - corrupted input data (length)
The QuickTime codec specified in the global default could not be selected. The system default codec will be selected.
So it renders to Animation. Something else I found was that the example on p393 in the manual is for 10-bit uncompressed - so I tried copying it right off the page, into Textedit, and into the include/startup dir - still no joy.
Can anyone shed any light on the matter?

Can I open multiple tabs in Firefox when WINDOWS starts up? Command line limits to about 204 characters...

I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
[Startup]
'http://www.yahoo.com'
'http://www.google.com'
'http://www.firefox.com'
etc...
If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
Thank you!

Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows.<br />
Separate the URLs with spaces.
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.yahoo.com http://www.google.com http://www.firefox.com
