F4 key in the command line

F4 key in the command line would display the history of commands used.Would it display the commands used by all the other sessions on the instance or mine alone??If so how does it update those values and where does it get stored on my machine??
Thanks

F4 key does not mean showing history. The function of F4 key is showing possible input values. It shows what possible entries can be given in some of the options. Not in all cases it shows the possible entries. It shoes possible entries on certain cases. For example if u want to start a background job and u had several application servers u can choose the application server on which u want. If u hit F4 key in the tab it shows all the servers available and u can choose one from tht. Thts how it works. This is equal to possible entries option when u right click in an entry box

How can I start System Preferences from the command line?

Hello All,
I have an issue I'm not quite sure how to solve. I have been tasked within my business environment with tightening security on a Mac Leopard system and I've been granted Admin Rights to do this on a temporary basis.
The problem is as follows:
1) The original Sys Admin that set up this system is gone, no longer available.
2) He was a Dvorak Keyboard fan and set up the system for a Dvorak Keyboard.
3) The system actually has a standard Apple keyboard and is marked accordingly, i.e., qwerty (Most Users in the building have stopped using this system altogether - a terrible waste of a good system - even though some of their apps can be run normally (US style qwerty settings). The command line is useless, as is texteditor.app and a few others unless you know Dvorak layout)
5) When I open System Preferences, the Dvorak keyboard checkbox is grayed out and I cannot change it. There is no lock at the bottom of that particular screen for me to unlock.
6) Even though I select the US Keyboard at Login, and some apps work accordingly (like MatLab for example) the terminal is borderline useless. I spent over 2 hrs yesterday doing what should have been able to be done in about 30 minutes. I estimate a frustrating and mistake prone additional 8 to 10 hours to do what is normally a a 4 hour job at the command-line.
7) I do not have the time or desire to re-mark all the keys on the keyboard, particularly since it is not my call to do so, nor do I have the time to re-learn Dvorak touch-typing, and finally I do not want to re-load the entire system. I just want to change the darn keyboard to a standard qwerty keyboard that is somewhat useful in a terminal environment with vi, command line, etc. It's either that or I go mildly insane
This is frustrating as all get-out. The new Admin logged in and was able to uncheck his Dvorak settings (he is not a UNIX guy, nor is he comfortable om Macs), and we were hoping this was a system wide setting, but No. We re-booted the system, I logged in, still Dvorak, and the checkbox was still grayed out.
So I figure, short of re-loading the entre system and all the applications necesary, I can either start the Systems Preferences GUI using sudo and hopefully that will change system-wide settings, or I can delete the .AppleSetupDone file and resetup the system (if the keyboard settings are part of the setup) without spending a couple of days reloading everything and re-setting up users, networks, etc.
Needless to say, I am hoping for the easiest and quickest solution to this extremely frustrating and aggravating problem.
Thanks.

For my situation the following C# code does the job:
    Process.Start(
       @"c:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI71\cvi.exe",
       @"c:\temp\experiment.c" );
The file must already exist.

Returning focus to the command line?

I am trying to write a text based card game but I am stuck again. When I run this code after I type "help" to view the key words the program terminates. How would I go about retuning focus to the command line instead of terminating the program.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BlackJack {
public static String help = "\tKey Words\n--------------------\nhelp = Help\ndeal = New Game\nhit = Get Another Card\ncall = Dealer shows cards";
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Black Jack!\nPlease enter a value.\nEnter \"help\" for help.");
String input = "";
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(isr);
try {
input = buffer.readLine();
buffer.close();
if(input.equals("help")) {
System.out.println(help);
else {
System.out.println("Incorrect please try again!");
catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println("Incorrect value please try again!");

I have created a method for getInput() however; when I type "help" the while loop infinately prints my else string. Here is the code. If I type "quit" into the command line the program terminates as it should.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BlackJack {
     public static String help = "\tKey Words\n--------------------\nhelp = Help\ndeal = New Game\nhit = Get Another Card\ncall = Dealer shows cards";
     public static String getInput() {
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
           BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(isr);
          String input = "";
          try {
          input = buffer.readLine();
          buffer.close();
          return input;
          catch(IOException e) {
          System.out.println("An input error has occured!");
          return input;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Welcome to Black Jack!\nPlease enter a value.\nEnter \"help\" for help.");
          boolean gameOver = false;
          while(!gameOver) {
          String ans = getInput();
          if("quit".equals(ans)) {
          gameOver = true;
          else if("help".equals(ans)) {
          System.out.println(help);
          else {
          System.out.println("Incorrect please try again!");

How do I edit the file where sites which I have typed in on the command line are stored? These are sites which I no onger use.

At times I type in a site name on the command line which I want to visit. This goes into a file which is accessed by highlighting the triangle on the right side of command line. This file contains previous sites which were accessed in the past. How do I edit this file and and remove previous site URLs?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Using the command line client...

I've got a few thousand videos, with metadata, that I have to add to an existing FCS install. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out the proper way to use the command line.
If I run the following command as root (paasset_predict_motorvideo is the name of my metadata set, as listed in the admin app...)
bash-3.2# ./fcsvr_client createasset paasset_predict_motorvideo /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov
I get the following error:
{ CODE = E_NOTSUPP, DESC = Entity /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov doesn't know how to do anything, SRC_FILE = PmdEntity.C, SRC_LINE = 1509, ERROR_TYPE = ET_PERM, ADDRESS = /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov }
If I pass in the --host, --user, and -pass on the same command, i get:
{ CODE = EMISSINGPARAM, DESC = CURRENTPERMID missing in PmsTask_QueryPerms, looks like unknown node failed to pass it down to child unknown node, NODE = ["PmsTask_QueryPerms" 0x2a51c50, ref=3, wref=2] taskState=0 dbqueue=0x184fb64 needTrans, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_QueryPerms.C, SRC_LINE = 136 }
I don't need to add any metadata to it, and i get the same error whether I enter any metadata at the end of the query or not.
I just have a pile of videos, the filenames of which are keys to a table that contains the rest of the metadata, and I want to automate the addition of them to the new FC Server install.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Thanks in advance.

Brian:
I've start by placing assets into a device that is configured with Final Cut Server (FCSvr).
Example, let say you have a folder on your desktop name 1000videos.
Create a device in FCSvr and map it to /Users/bfinley/1000videos.
Name this Device with the name of your choice i.e. Library2
Don't apply any scan schedules to this device etc.
After you're done with that determine the device id of the new created device by running this command
./fcsvr_client search /dev
you get some output like
Address DEVICE_NAME DEVICE_TYPE
/dev/7 Archive_Device filesystem
/dev/13 Library filesystem
/dev/10 Media filesystem
Note down the device id of your newly created device i.e. /dev/13
Next assuming that you have a file with a filename of test.mov
use the following command
sudo fcsvr_client createasset paasset_predict_motorvideo /dev13/test.mov
you should receive a response to this output containing the newly create asset id.
Hope this helps.

OS10.3.9 suddenly chooses to boot in darwin (i.e the command line)?

OS10.3.9 suddenly chooses to boot in darwin (i.e the command line)?
Question #1 is: what's the command to load the finder from Darwin?
Question #2 is: what would cause this? My hard drive has been reasonably full lately... otherwise I haven't updated the OS, software or changed anything. Also, I essentially use this G4 for downloading with Azureus... in case this info is useful.
THanks for the help in advance!

At this stage that doesn't look too good.
You could try and run the Disk Utility on the Install CD and see if that will repair the disk. If it can't then consider buying DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro is 4.1.1 for 10.3 Panther which are much more able disk repair utilities.
Before you go to that expense, try Disk Utility. Instructions are below.
The startup drive can only be repaired from another drive. Simply loading the install disk is not sufficient. You have to boot from the install disk.
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart; when you hear the chime hold down C key until the apple logo appears.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to Installer and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
Select the start up drive, then follow the instructions in the First Aid pane where you can click on Repair Disk.
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
Once restarted normally run Repair Permissions. from the Disk Utility application found on your hard drive in Application/Utilities.

Can the command line application be extended?

I would like to add command like keys etc..Is this possible?

Correct me if I am wrong, from what I understand, beanShell is a scripting language which interprets the Java language. Yes, I could connect to coherence cache and run any commands I want. However, that won't include the commands which are already prefined in the tangosol command line, would it?
If I am wrong, I would appreciate if you could show me an example of beanShell and the command line application.

Could not view data in the Em while in the command line query works

Hi, all,
I have met with this problem for several times.
I have an Oracle 10.0.2.0 running on Redhat linux E3.
After I insert or just input some data in a table. I could see the new data in the command line.
SQL> select * from tablename;
But I could not see the new data in the EM. If I export the table to, say, MS Access, the new data doesn't show. The data is there, but I have to wait for some time. (several mins to hours)
Do you have any idea of it??
Thank you very much!
Qian

Thank you for your reply.
Why sometimes it doesn't show in other sessions, but sometimes it shows?
Any way, I will perform commit to see....

How can I open a PDF file and enter a word in the Find field from the command line?

Hi,
I want to use a PDF file as the help file of another program.
I have found somewhere an incomplete description of the command line parameters of Acrobat Reader.
It described how to open a file and jump to its given page.
I have written the following batch file based on that.
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader at given page (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&page=%2=OpenActions" %1
The following batch file opens the search dialog:
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader
rem and search for something (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=%2" %1
I need the simple find field instead of the complicated search window.
Regards
Ferenc

Not possible.

Error while running the Discoverer report from the command line.

Hi All,
I've to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls/html on to my local machine. This report I've to run it as batch and scheduled it.
I have a parameterized worksheet and this has to be run from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for. I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr /connect user/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" '40351' /parameter "From Date" '05-MAY-2008' /parameter "To Date" '06-MAY-2008' /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStOutputinHTML123"
I even added the TO_DATE conversion for the parameters and also gave the format of the date as 'DD_MON_YYYY'.
Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Please anyone reply me.
Regards & Thanks,
P. Gayathri Devi

Hi Gayathri,
Try changing your parameter names to be a single word. (Change "Test Number" to Test_Number).
Does the report run fine when run through Desktop for the same parameter values? Which version of Discoverer are you using?
Thanks.

Is it possible to script Firefox to do things from the command line?

Specifically, I am attempting to print a web page at a specific url from the command line.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had already seen the page you linked to, but it doesn't have any commands to print a web page. Should I interpret from that absence that there isn't a way to print from Firefox from the command line?

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

How do i create a database template from the command line?

Hi,
As part of implementing a backup and recovery strategy for a client (including disaster recovery) I want to automate the creation of a database template From an Existing Database (Structure as well as data) via a script that will run every night.
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
The idea is that nightly we will run a script that creates a database template from the Existing Database (Structure as well as data) and then transfers the 2 files involved e.g. DB_data_included.dbc and DB_data_included.DFB across to a standby server where they can be used to recreate the database in the event of us needing to after e.g. a complete server failure.
So I have a couple of questions about this that I would be very grateful if something could answer for me:
1)     Is it possible? That is, can a database template be created from some utility by supplying a series of parameter=value pairs on the command line?
2)     If yes how do I go about it, what utility do I use (the emca utility?). and what parameters do I need to supply on the command line to create the template?
3)     The intention is that the script to create the template will run in the early hours of the morning when no-one is using the database but what state does the database need to be in when the template creation script runs i.e. up, down, mounted and does the creation of a template affect the state of an already up database i.e. if I kick off the template creation script and the database is up will it switch it into mount mode or anything like that? My concern here is that I want to make sure I understand exactly what is going on so that no users or connected external systems are affected?
Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to guide me on what to do or what documentation to read.
Also if you require any clarification on what i'm asking please post up your query and i'll respond ASAP.
Kind Regards,

Sybrandb,
Firstly thanks for you reponse.
However, I don’t agree that dbca only creates empty databases otherwise why does the option to create a template from an existing database (structure as well as data) exist in the dbca wizard?
I have performed a test case where I have a created a database template including data on one 10g server. I have then used the files generated to recreate that database on a separate server. When the new database is started it is an exact copy of the original. So it’s not empty at all , it’s exactly what the client wants.
So I don’t agree that I’m gaining zero.
Why is this approach doomed to fail?
There a number of reasons why I “just set up a proper standby database”
1.     Time – I’m on a customer site in a tight engagement where the customer wants maximum value for money. I don’t have standby database skills and the customer isn’t willing to pay for me to learn on the job so please understand the tight circumstances I’m working in.
2.     Availability – As far as I know the client is running 10.2.0.3.0 standard edition. Correct me if I’m wrong but is standby db available in that edition. Where do I look to check V$OPTION.
On the RMAN duplicating a database front it’s an area I haven’t used before but I will take a look at it.
Also please revisit the context of my original posting where I state
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
So please understand that this a quick fix that the client wants developed in the minimum time possible in ADDITION to a full nightly RMAN backup being taken.
In an ideal world I’d have the time to follow best practice but in the real world of on-site customer support I just need to get the job done operating under the customer imposed constraints.
Many Thanks,
George Johnston
