Deep freeze's reboot frozen command doesn't finishes

Whenever i send a reboot frozen command from the ARD on the server, it doesn't finishes. The Reboot command is below.
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "loginwindow"
key code 125
delay .25
keystroke return
delay 1
keystroke "0000"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
delay 4
EndOfMyScript
DFXPSWD="0000" /Library/Application\ Support/Faronics/Deep\ Freeze/deepfreeze -u "VantageAdmin" -p bootFrozen
reboot
This execute correctly but it seems like the ARD doesn't recognise that it is done, so it continue running untill manually cancel.
I mean it execute correctly but the command remains in the active task on ARD. What can i do to make this execute and disappear from the active task to history?

Well one option is to break it up into two tasks.
task 1, send unix commands (without the reboot at the end)
task 2, user ard reboot command
Another option would be to que up the command on the client.
send unti command as user root
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist
echo "reboot" | at now+1
the catch is that queing up a command, is that you don't know if the command did sucesfully triggure.
I've never tried to use at with deep freeze, so it would be a good idea to test the results before mass deploying.
the other thing is it can create 'mail'.

Mkinitcpio command doesn't finish

Just did a pacman there and the /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.23-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img command
doesn't finish: it takes forever to do the :: Parsing hook [autodetect] part. So I killed pacman and re-did pacman -Syu.
It finished this time. And I tried the command again on its own - the problem is still there.
anybody else seen this? I'm afaid to do a reboot now.....

My upgrade to mkinitcpio 0.5.17-1 completed without a hitch. Now the system hangs when I reboot. Booting the fallback image works ok.
I suspect there is something in my /etc/rc.conf that the new mkinitcpio doesn't like. I haven't figured out what yet.
UPDATE: When I removed "@alsa" from the DAEMONS= line of my /etc/rc.conf file, the machine boots the default image just fine. The funny thing is sound still works even without the alsa daemon.
I hope this steers you in a useful direction.

ARD & Deep Freeze Mac

does anyone know how to use ARD to thaw(Deep Freeze) computers using unix commands. I have tried to set up maintenance in Deep Freeze but it doesn't work.
Thanks

I use the Deep Freeze tasks regularly through ARD to thaw and freeze entire labs with no problems. One thing to keep in mind is the default tasks that they install will perform the action and just that. You have to send a second command to actually reboot the computer, if I recall correctly.
I say that because I ended up re-writing all of the task scripts and tacked on a /sbin/reboot onto the end just to save myself 5 seconds.
Oh, and if you put single quotes (') around your Deep Freeze admin password in the task script, you can use punctuation marks in the password despite what their silly documentation says.

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

- Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
- Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.

Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Disable or quiet UAC without reboot from command line

I need to be able Disable or quiet UAC without reboot from command line without user confirmation as local system
We use LANDesk and I want to add a part of the script to install turning off or quieting UAC, run install and them turn UAC on
Not all users are Admins so I can run as current logged on user but if admin rights are not need I can run a pre install task as local user run the
install task then run a post install task to turn it on
It doesn’t have to be a command line it can be an app Ii position on each machine then call if it can run silently

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
To disable UAC, you can take either of the following methods:
1.
If you use Group Policy to manage UAC, you can edit the local security policy to control this:
1)
From the Start search bar, type "Local Security Policy"
2)
Accept the elevation prompt
3)
From the snap-in, select Security Settings -> Local Policy -> Security Options
4)
Scroll down to the bottom, where you'll find nine different group policy settings for granular configuration of UAC.
2.
Use the following script to elevate the privilege in Windows Vista.
Scripting Elevation on Vista
3.
You can also modify the registry through the following command line:
REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f
Important caution:
please backup your registry before modifying it, any incorrect modification can cause a unrecoverable damage.

ARD 3 and Faronics Deep Freeze questions

Hello everyone
I am interning at an IT department of a branch campus of a large university. Among other new exciting things I was recently given the responsibility to administer the 5 campus macs that are connected to the network as actual works machines (there are others but those are chat only machines and aren't connected to the same subnet but rather on wireless). 1 of them is a faculty members and is easy enough to figure out, the other 4 are in labs and have the Faronics software Deep Freeze installed on them. I have the deep freeze assistant installed for ARD (so i have all the UNIX commands) and the PDF manual from Faronics but am still unable to unfreeze computers across the network to run updates. I vaguely recall setting up the assistant and putting in the credentials for admin.. although I'm not sure if i put in the right stuff. My command to thaw a machine current looks like this
/Applications/Faronics/DFXControl.app/Contents/MacOS/DFXControl command <<adminfordeepfreeze>> <<passwordfordeepfreeze>> bootThawed
I run this as root. I am sending it against machines that are just sitting at the login screens. I feel like I'm missing something very obvious.
Any help would be appreciated! Remember I'm just a n00b.

See this article on disabling Dashboard:
http://www.macworld.com/article/46236/2005/08/disabledashboard.html
It should work through ARD, though I haven't tried it.

Deep freeze +imaging = USB trouble

When we image a pc and then freeze the machine the first time you plug in a USB device it takes upwards of 9 Minutes to install the USB device.
After that first device is installed every device thereafter installs in less than 25 seconds. Once I reboot that first usb device once again takes 9 Min.
I realize that is Deep freeze doing it's job. Has anyone found a way to initialize the usb controller so that first time plugging in USB takes less time?
If I thaw the machine and then plug in the USB device and wait 9 minutes for it to install. Then freeze the machine. Every device thereafter installs within 30 seconds even after a reboot.
However if I take an image of this machine once USB has been initialized and put it on a new computer I am back to square one again. The first device plugged in takes 9 minutes until I do the thaw, plugin, and freeze trick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Software alternative to deep freeze

i want software which install software virtually and when we to to remove it remove all files and registry completely from computer.like deep freeze but not deep freeze.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean by install virtually. Being unfamiliar with deep freeze probably doesn't help.
You can do a file copy "install". Especially on a machine already has a .net framework on it - although you could also install and uninstall a .net framework separately.
Put exe, config, dll, xml or file based database in a folder that isn't under program files.
Your uninstall process could then be to delete that folder.
Bam, it's gone.
Or you could use one of:
The free installshield lite you are entitled to with recent versions of visual studio.
Wix - bit of a steep slippery learning curve with that since it's "old school".
The new new visual studio setup and deployment project http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2014/04/17/visual-studio-installer-projects-extension.aspx
Or you could of course just write a web site and then there's nothing to install and uninstall.
I also don't quite follow why this is a windows forms question. Maybe it should be in a different forum.
Hope that helps.

Visually handicap, needs to increase font size in logic pro, Command doesn't work

Hi,
I'm visually handicapped, and new to logic-pro. I'm having a miserable time reading the internal logic-pro fonts. Command + doesn't work, and I can't find any preferrence or settings options that affect the default font sizes, any ideas?

Unfortunately you cannot change the font size of the main fonts in Logic...
However, there are a couple of other settings you may not be aware of...
1) Under Logic Pro's preferences... go to Display
Now you can change the size of the playhead and Local Windows under the General Tab
You can increase the size of the Logic plugin windows/fonts sizes under the Mixer Tab (I have mine set to 200%)
Note: This setting does not apply to 3rd party plugins.. only Logic's own plugins...
Under the Piano Roll tab you can change the size of Bar/Beats/Division Lines...
2) Using the screen zoom command... Hold down control and scroll on your mouse... will zoom in the screen...
Note: as you are using Mountain Lion there is also a new setting under System Preferences/Accessability
Choose Zoom on the left hand side
Now choose Zoom Style/Picture in Picture and instead of a full screen zoom it provides you with a magnifying glass of sorts to just magnify the area arund your mouse pointer. I find this setting very useful....
Hope this helps...

AMSCheck command doesn't seem to go through

With Adobe Media Server 5, we'd like to use the command "AMSCheck" to check the server status, etc., but this command doesn't seem to go through. We tried searching for it using the "find" command, but there was no result.
[root@hostname /]# AMSCheck --host hostname
-bash: AMSCheck: command not found
[root@hostname /]#
[root@hostname /]#
[root@hostname /]# find / -name *AMSCheck*
[root@hostname /]#
Can someone tell us what we're doing wrong?

It should be in <AMS-install-root>/tools folder e.g /opt/adobe/ams/tools if the installation was the default installation.
Also be sure of the case sensitivity of the file name on linux i.e
find / -iname *AMScheck*

HT1338 Safari Hide command doesn't work

Now my Safari 6.0 "Hide Safari" command doesn't work (whether clicking the command-H or going up under the Safari menu and down to the Hide Safari command.
Any suggestions anyone? I am about one more issue away from abandoning Safari altogether and just using Chrome and Firefox.

I've made a number of iWeb websites. I notice that I can't "Command +" the text larger or smaller. Is this a function of an iWeb site .. or is there something I'm missing?
What browser are you talking about? If Safari, is it the same with the other major browsers (Firefox and Opera)? Could you provide the url of an example?

Bash command doesn't work after update

I just ran pacman -Syu as normal, but some got many errors like below:
( 3/11) upgrading binutils
error: command failed to execute correctly
and every package except kernel-headers got a error message like that. and then i found most of my bash command doesn't work any more, just like ls and vim. However, some others like pwd and cd still work correctly.
Any one any ideal?

Sudo trash command doesn't work

Last year I found a Terminal command for emptying large amounts of trash, quickly. Now, using that command doesn't seem to work. Can I be doing something wrong?
I pasted this into Terminal: "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*".
Afterward I typed my password, and Terminal showed a dollar sign and the grey rectangle. But two hours later, none of the trash has been deleted. What is my mistake?

Thanks Niel, but I am using it without the quotes. Could I be doing anything else wrong?
Here's how it looks.
(I only made the command once. The earlier ones were from before I restarted.)
