Hardcode password in a do shell script not working

I have been trying to solve something i have wanted to do for a long time, that is get a script that changes the ammount of time before the display goes to sleep. I tried GUi scripting but in system preferences the changes made to the slider did not stay. So i have now come onto a do shell script. Found below. I would prefer to just hardcode my password into it however this does not seem to work. Any ideas ?
set exitflag to false
try
repeat until exitflag is true
set {text returned:Sleeptime, button returned:sleepstate} to (display dialog "Minutes before display sleep" & return & "Between 1 and 180 mintues" & return & "Greater than 180 means never sleep" default answer "1" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2)
set Sleeptime to Sleeptime as number
if Sleeptime is less than 1 then
set exitflag to false
else if Sleeptime is greater than 180 then
set Sleeptime to 0
set exitflag to true
else
set exitflag to true
end if
end repeat
end try
set Sleeptime1 to Sleeptime as string
set Sleeptime1 to quoted form of Sleeptime1
set psswd to quoted form of "XXXXX"
do shell script "sudo pmset -a displaysleep " & Sleeptime1 password psswd
set pete to do shell script "sudo pmset -g"
set xx to text -2 thru -1 of pete
if xx - Sleeptime = 0 then
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Worked:" & return & xx & " mintues"
end tell
else
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Failed!"
end tell
end if

1) don't use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'. It isn't necessary and will sometimes break.
2) do not use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'
3) do not use... I'm sure you get the idea.
It is not necessary to use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script' command. 'do shell script' itself takes care of the authentication element when you use 'with administrator privileges'. Therefore the appropriate way of doing this is:
<pre class=command>do shell script "pmset -g displaysleep " & sleeptime1 with administrator privileges password psswd</pre>
If you omit the 'password psswd' element the user will be prompted to authenticate using the standard system authentication dialog.
The problem you're running into is that the 'password' parameter is only valid when you use 'with adminitrator privileges', and is therefore getting ignored in your current script.

Process Flow - User Defined object calling Unix Shell script not working

Hi, I have a User Defined Object in a Process Flow with the following parameters :-
Command: /usr/bin/ksh
Parameter List:
Result Code:
Script: cd /shell_scripts
./dwh_get_datafile.sh param1 param2 param3
Success Threshold: 0
The script executes but it does not correctly interpret all the Unix commands within it e.g command such as FTP, DATE, GREP etc.
In the job details I can see :-
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: date: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ftp: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: grep: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: rm: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ls: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: awk: not found
Anyone know what I have done wrong ?
The script runs fine when run as a Unix script while logged into Telnet.
Thanks.
Paul

The shell script is executed by the oracle user in the unix environment so make sure that the directorie where you can find the unix commands exists in the path for the oracle user in .profile as you can se in my example below.
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$OWBHOME/bin:/ASW/ora_script:/local/bstat:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin; export PATH

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

Are you 100% positive you are connected? Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to? What is listed for an IP address? If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router. You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds. After it powers back up, try reconnecting it. It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
See here for more troubleshooting suggestions.

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working.

hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working. not able to find proper drivers for 32 bit win.7 os. need urgent help..
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
I can give you the link to the wifi driver, if you do the following steps to post the hardware ID for the wireless card, so I can figure out what model wireless card the notebook has...
To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

Modify shell script to work with other folders

i am trying to modify a shell script that sorts files in a course folder into sub folders by month. I have a shell script that works, but when i try to modify it for another course folder it quits working. can someone let me know what i am doing wrong?
the working shell script:
do shell script "
for f in \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI Annual Report/\"*
do if [ ! -d \"$f\" ]; then
x=\"${f%%.*}\"
i=$((${#x}-3))
if [ -d \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI monthly/${f:$i:3}\" ]; then
mv \"$f\" \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI monthly/${f:$i:3}\"
fi
fi
done"
the nonworking modified script:
do shell script "
for f in \"$HOME/Desktop/DOEP Annual Report/\"*
do
    if [ ! -d \"$f\" ]; then
        x=\"${f%%.*}\"
        i=$((${#x}-3))

            mv \"$f\" \"$HOME/Desktop/DOEP monthly/${f:$i:3}\"
        fi

It takes the class rosters and copies the information from the class roster to the annual report and then moves the file to the monthly folder and files it in the appropriate months folder based on the last three letters of the file name.

BI Admin Tool - Setting connection pool via shell script - Is it possible?

Hi,
Here's the problem I am trying to solve.
I am using a J2EE application that uses OBIEE for reporting.
The *.rpd file is installed at a particular location when our J2EE product is installed.
I then copy the *.rpd file to the BI home on a different server using a shell script.
The shell script that deploys the *.rpd file does the following:
1. Shuts down BI processes that are running
2. Deletes the old *.rpd file
3. Copies the new *.rpd file
4. Starts all BI processes
I am happy with the way we have automated this process, but would like to take it one step further.
The *.rpd file does not have the connection pool hard-coded in it. And we want to keep it that way.
What we would like to do is - pass the connection pool parameters to the shell script (that is used for *.rpd's deployment) and have it automatically update the *.rpd file. Is it possible to do this at all? How do we go about accomplishing this?
Or in other words - Is there a way to update the connection pools WITHOUT hard-coding it in the *.rpd file or WITHOUT using the BI Administration Tool.
Currently, we manually update the connection pools in the Physical Layer using the Oracle BI Administration Tool.
The version of BI Administration Tool being used is 10.1.3.3.1 installed on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 machine. The BI Server itself is running on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.0 box.
Do let me know if you need more information that would help answer this question.
Thank you.

Thank you - fiston and Gagan.
I am going with fiston's solution - since it is easier to implement. I am on the QA team and the automated deployment is to lessen QA's deployment time.
While one of our developer's said that she prefer's Gagan's solution - it would be over-kill to make changes to the application's schema for the said purpose.
I will further make another post as to whether or not the automated deployment worked for us.

Powershell unzip with shell.application not working when launched from windows service

I have a deployment agent on a machine implemented as a windows service. Service is 32-bit and runs on windows server 2008R2 x64 SP1 with powershell V2. Powershell script requires elevation and to run under x64 because of dependency to powershell module
'IIS Administration'. To achieve this, the service starts a cmd file which in turn launches powershell x64 console:
C:\WINDOWS\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "Start-Process C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -ArgumentList '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -File C:\Temp\EndJobCmd\Install.ps1' -Verb RunAs"
This seems to work well. The problem I have is that the script has a sequence where it unpacks a zip file to a destination folder using shell.application, this works fine when triggered manually on the server or through the task scheduler, but when triggered
from the service it does not extract any files at all (cannot see any errors thrown by the script but it seems to continue to execute as it logs a successful message to the event log after finishing).
Unzip sequence looks like:
$shell = New-Object -com shell.application
$pkg = $shell.namespace($sourceFile)
$installDir = $shell.namespace($targetDir)
$installDir.Copyhere($pkg.items(), 20)
Any advice greatly appreciated. I have searched some and seen a few people with similar issue but have yet to find a solution.

If it's still actual, I managed to fix this with having CopyHere params equal 1564.
So in my case extract zip function looks like:
function Expand-ZIPFile{
param(
$file, $destination
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($file)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
$shell.Namespace($destination).copyhere($item,1564)
"$($item.path) extracted"
1564 description can be found here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb787866(v=vs.85).aspx:

(8) Give the file being operated on a new name in a move, copy, or rename operation if a file with the target name already exists.
(16) Respond with "Yes to All" for any dialog box that is displayed.
(512) Do not confirm the creation of a new directory if the operation requires one to be created.
(1024) Do not display a user interface if an error occurs.
