Help with automatic unmounting via script

Sorry, for some reason, this question got posted twice.
I would like to reroute you to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610643&tstart=0
Could some kind soul please help me a bit with some applescript?
I would need two things in applescript:
1. A way to check whether a certain external (firewire) disk is mounted
(so that I can unount, er, eject it, if it is there)
2. A way to make an applescript being executed whenever the laptop goes to sleep.
For the interested reader:
what I want to do is to write an applescript that would automatically unmount my external backup disk whenever the laptop goes to sleep.
Oftentimes I forget to do that myself, then, when the computer is asleep and I want to unplug everything to take it home, I remember that I haven't properly ejected the backup disk ...
Any hints, pointers, tips will be appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

If you have a script using "sudo", it will always prompt for a password. The easy way to call this is put your script in /Library/Resources/Scripts/ (you'll have to create the Resources/Scripts/ path) and follow these steps.
Step 1.) Edit your script and take out the "sudo" commands, leaving the following:
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches*
ln -s /private/tmp ~/Library/Caches*
Step 2.) Then open up Terminal and execute the following commands:
chown root:wheel /Library/Resources/Scripts/NameOfYourScript.sh
chmod 755 /Library/Resources/Scripts/NameOfYourScript.sh
Now create your login hook to call this script. If I'm correct, the script will run as root and not prompt the student for a password.

[SOLVED] Need a little help with ACPI handler.sh script.

By using ACPI I'm trying to get my laptop to hibernate at critical power state. So far I've made a few test scripts to test how to do this, with one of these scripts I'm stuck. My scripting skills are not that good to solve it.
This is the script:
if [ `awk '{print $3}' /proc/acpi/battery/C1E9/state` == "ok" ]
then
logger "battery is ok"
else
logger "battery is not ok"
fi
If I run the script I get an error (while "battery is not ok" is logged):
┌─[~]
└─> ./test2
./test2: line 1: [: too many arguments
┌─[~]
└─>
When I run the awk-command from the script, I get the following output:
┌─[~]
└─> awk '{print $3}' /proc/acpi/battery/C1E9/state
ok
discharging
2341
1824
10969
┌─[~]
└─>
I think the problem lies in the multiple output of the awk-command, but I'm stuck in solving it.
Any help would be great.

Help with selecting files from script menu or drag and drop

I found this scale images applescript online. It works great when a bunch of files is dragged on top of the script but I would like it to also work when a folder or group of files is selected in the Finder and I activate it from the scripts menu.
I can't get my on run statement to work. I'm not really an Applescript guy so I'm really just asking if someone can help finish what I started in this on run.
-- save in Script Editor as Application
-- drag files to its icon in Finder
property target_width : 120
property save_folder : ""
on run
tell application "Finder"
activate
set folder_path to quoted form of (POSIX path of (the selection as alias))
set theItems to every file of folder_path
end tell
end run
on open some_items
-- do some set up
tell application "Finder"
-- get the target width, the default answer is the property target_width
set new_width to text returned of ¬
(display dialog "Target width:" default answer target_width ¬
buttons {"OK"} default button "OK")
if new_width as integer > 0 then
set target_width to new_width
end if
-- if the save_folder property has not been set,
-- set it to the folder containing the original image
if save_folder is "" then
set save_folder to ¬
(container of file (item 1 of some_items) as string)
end if
-- get the folder to save the scaled images in,
-- default folder is the property save_folder
set temp_folder to ¬
choose folder with prompt ¬
"Save scaled images in:" default location alias save_folder
set save_folder to temp_folder as string
end tell
-- loop through the images, scale them and save them
repeat with this_item in some_items
try
rescaleand_save(thisitem)
end try
end repeat
tell application "Image Events" to quit
end open
on rescaleand_save(thisitem)
tell application "Finder"
set new_item to save_folder & "scaled." & (name of this_item)
end tell
tell application "Image Events"
launch
-- open the image file
set this_image to open this_item
set typ to this_image's file type
copy dimensions of this_image to {current_width, current_height}
scale this_image by factor (target_width / current_width)
save this_image in new_item as typ
end tell
end rescaleandsave

When items are dragged to your script's icon they are passed in to the on open handler, so this triggers:
on open some_items
and the dragged items are passed in as some_items
In contrast, when you double-click on the script, or invoke it via the Script menu, this runs the on run handler:
on run
tell application "Finder"
activate
folder_path to quoted form of (POSIX path of (the selection as alias))
set theItems to every file of folder_path
end tell
end run
However, there's nothing in this block that actually does anything with the selection - you (dangerously) assume that the selection is a folder (you really should check first), and just set theItems to every file in that folder then you exit.
So to do what you want you'll need to edit your run handler to filter the selection and pass files over to the code that does the hard work.
You already have the basis for this - your rescaleandsave() handler, so it's just a matter of identifying the files in the selection and passing those over to that handler:
on run
tell application "Finder"
set cur_selection to (get selection) -- get the selection
repeat with each_item in cur_selection -- iterate through
if class of each_item is folder then -- do we have a folder?
set theFiles to every file of each_item -- if so, get its contents
repeat with each_file in theFiles -- iterate through them
my rescaleand_save(eachfile) -- and process them
end repeat
else if class of each_item is document file then -- do we have a file selected?
my rescaleand_save(eachitem) -- if so, process it
end if
end repeat
end tell
end run
So the idea here is that the run handler gets the selection and works through the (potentially-numerous) items. For each selected item it checks whether its a folder or a file, if its a folder it gets all the files within and passes them to the rescaleandsave handler.
Note that this is not recursive - it won't catch files within folders within folders - since it only looks at the top level of selected folders, but it wouldn't be hard to rework the script to handle that if that's what you need.

Help with EEM TCL / CLI scripting for re-direction/wccp counters

Being new with EEM scripting I wanted to see if I was on the right track and get some help to finish my idea.
Our problem I am trying to fix is our remote sites utilize pairs of Cat3650's for some routing and WCCP redirection. We are encountering ACL denial issues causing slow down and access issues. The fix for the issue we remove the WCCP service groups to break peering with our wan optimizers and re-insert the configuration thus re-establishing peering and restoring service.
My idea is to use a TCL scipt on a watchdog timer to parse the "sh ip wccp | inc denied (or unassign)" output for denial and unassignable error counters. If a counter is found I wanted to create a syslog message that would then kick off a simple EEM CLI script to remove the service groups, wait 10 seconds, then re-add the service groups. Please point me in the right direction if I am off track as I am not sure if I can use the EEM CLI for all this or since I want to retreive specific info from the sh ip wccp output if I do need to utilize TCL. I am also unsure if the "total denied" ascii string pulled via the "sh ip wccp | inc denied" will cause issues when attempting to just pull the counter information.
sh ip wccp | inc Denied Red
Total Packets Denied Redirect: 0
Total Packets Denied Redirect: 0
Script thus far :
TCL
if [catch {context_retrieve "EEM_WCCP_ERROR_COUNTER" "count"} result] {
set wccpcounter 0
} else {
set wccpcounter $result
} if [catch {cli_open} result] {
error $result
} else {
array set cli $result
} if [catch {cli_exec $cli(fd) "show ip wccp | incl Denied"} result] {
error $result
} else {
set cmd_output $result
set count ""
catch [regexp {receive ([0-9]+),} $cmd_output} ignore count]
set count
set diff [expr $count - $wccpcounter]
if {$diff != 0} {
action_syslog priority emergencies msg "WCCP counters showing incremental Denied packet counts"
if [catch {cli_close $cli(fd) $cli(tty_id)} result] {
error $result
context_save EEM_WCCP_ERROR_COUNTER count
CLI
event manager applet WCCP_COUNTER_WATCH
event syslog priority emergencies pattern "WCCP counters showing incremental Denied packet counts"
action 001 cli command "enable"
action 002 cli command "config t"
action 003 cli command "no ip wccp 61"
action 004 cli command "no ip wccp 62"
action 005 wait 10
action 006 cli command "ip wccp 61"
action 007 cli command "ip wccp 62"
action 008 wait 15
action 009 cli command "clear ip wccp"
action 010 cli command "end"
Thanks for all the help

This won't work as EEM cannot intercept its own syslog messages. However, I'm not sure why you need this form of IPC anyway. Why not just make the Tcl script perform the needed CLI commands?
And, yes, you could use all applets here. But since you've written the hard stuff in Tcl already, it might be best just to add the missing calls to reconfigure WCCP to that script.

Help with printing document via wireless

The printer is connected to PC via wireless and has worked ok for a long time.
Thr printer seems to be working ok (copying ok).
Although printer icon is ready, any document sent to print sits in a queue and does not print. I have downloaded the updated version off the internet (HP website) for the HP 3050A driver and installed ok (who knows).
Can you help?
cheers

Hi @PPritchard ,
I see that you are having issues with the print jobs just sitting in the queue and won't print. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button (). The Wireless menu opens.
Press the button () next to the Down Arrow () to scroll through the options and select Print Reports, and then press the button next to OK.
Press the button () next to Wireless Test to print the page.
If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

Help with "Automatically fill empty space on ipod" Function in itunes

I am having an issue I don't understand when trying to sync my ipod. I go into the "music" tab where it allows you to select the music you want on the ipod. In addition to selecting playlists, artists, genres, etc. there is a box you can check that says "automatically fill free space with songs." I select a playlist with only a few albums on it which leaves me with a good deal of free space. My assumption was that checking this box would RANDOMLY choose songs (or albums?) in itunes to fill up the free space. However, when I do this it fills up the free space with the *exact same songs/albums every time*! The only thing I have checked off is the 1 playlist so I don't understand why it keeps choosing the same albums and songs to fill up the free space. I want it to just randomly choose songs from my entire music collection to fill up the free space. any help is appreciated!!

Also, it seems that iTunes is not smart enough to -remove- songs when you add something new, i.e. movies or podcasts, and will constantly tell you that the iPod is full. That results in having to un-check the option, remove every song 'automatically added', add the new content, then re-check the "fill free space" box. Did no one actually test this feature or is it done on purpose to wear out your iPod quicker?

Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

Hi -
I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
button with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
next movie is on.
I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
The problem happens when I click on the second or third
button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
is a new clip to play.
I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
playing in the timeline.
I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
beautifully.
Please help!
Thanks,
Caroline

Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

Help with UCCX 8.5 scripting and xmls

I have a customer with multiple scripts, we are moving them from 3.5 to 8.5 which is running on VMWare. Here's my scenario:
The caller can call the trigger 54779, enter a #, then a password of 12345. Then they can set a normal condition by dialing 1, an after-hours condition by dialing 2, or an emergency condition by dialing 3. I’m testing the “2” condition now. In the previous 3.5 system, if they dialed 2, the system copied the Doc “2.xml” and copied it to the Doc "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml", both of which are in the en_US folder in the Documents section.
I can’t get this thing to change my document "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml". All I know is that it goes, “unsuccessful”. I’m pretty sure the authentication is working since it gets by that step. If we can’t get the “copy” to work, really all I need to do with this option 2, is for the data in "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml" in <TYPE>1</TYPE> to change from a 1 to a 2." I'm attaching a zip with the old and new scripts along with the 2 xml files i'm referring to. I need help on this one, please!

Has the user you setup have Application Admin rights? I had this issue when I was trying to create an Emergency shutdown script and the user did not have sufficient rights.
I don't mind sharing this script I created ,which effectively changes a value from 1 to a 2, which seems to be what you are trying to do but I can not figure out how to share it with you here. You could then use this as example to achieve what you are trying to do.

Help with a program Option Script

I need some help writing a Option Frame for a Add-in on my program. The basic thing it will do is to call a KeyListener with a KeyAdapter, wait for a key to be pressed, assign the key that was pressed to an int (i.e. LEFT for e.VK_LEFT) and send it to my main program. I don't have the script completely written yet, but I'm not sure how I can send 7 int values to my main program at the same time. I was thinking of something like:
LEFT = KA_Options.getIntLEFT(int temp_LEFT);but if their is an easier way to get all the int's called at once instead of calling 7 different classes everytime a key is pressed in my main program (because of Beta testing, I don't exactly want to assign them to their own int values intill I get the code almost bug free). I would like to put my main program in this thread, but the hugeness of it, it would make reading the posts hard.

Need help with automatic slideshow

I made an automatic slideshow that switches frames at a set
interval but now i want to load each frame from an extrenal swf and
add a preloader for each frame, how do i tell the slideshow to wait
until the frame is loaded before it proceeds to the next frame, but
still have the movieclip be automatic. Also the slideshow can be
controlled mannually so i also want to know how to disable the
manual control till each frame is loaded.

Here is some of the action script for the slideshow.
This first bit sets up the automatic interval transitions in
the main movie timeline
function nextImage()
mc_slide.mc_transition.play();
} // End of the function
function waitImage()
clearInterval(slideTimer);
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 1000);
nextImage();
} // End of the function
function pauseSlide()
mc_slide.mc_quicktransition.gotoAndPlay(2);
} // End of the function
var timer = 8;
var pauseTime = 20;
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 2000);
stop ();
the movieclip loaders that load each movie clip are embedded
with the transition animation.
this is the code in the embedded mc-it loads the 1st movie
clip and allows the user to manually jump to any of the other movie
clips.
emptyMC.loadMovie("frame1.swf");
var pageAddress = "about:blank";
btn1.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(1);
btn2.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(2);
btn3.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(3);
btn4.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(4);
stop();
I need to know how to put the code for the automation of the
slideshow pause until each movieclip has finished loading and also
at the same time disable the manual control of the movie clips
before they are fully loaded.

Help with Automatic refreshing

I got this graph that I can slide with my finger, Im wondering if its possible to update it automatic with this code?
//Function for sliding graph.
   protected function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    lastX = event.stageX;
    systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
    systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
   protected function mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    var delta:Number = (lastX - event.stageX) / chart.width * viewportMax;
    if (hAxis.minimum + delta < 0)
     hAxis.minimum = 0;
     hAxis.maximum = viewportMax;
    else if (hAxis.maximum + delta > chart.dataProvider.length - 0)
     hAxis.maximum = chart.dataProvider.length - 0;
     hAxis.minimum = hAxis.maximum - viewportMax;
    else
     hAxis.minimum += delta;
     hAxis.maximum += delta;
    lastX = event.stageX;
   protected function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
    systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseUpHandler);

Here is the whole graph code, the source is the "myArray", it gets updated thru UDP.
I guess something have to be done in the "mouseMoveHandler". Tried to change different things, but it
still scolls with finger only, and does not update by itself. There should be a way to make it scroll by itself, dont you agree?

Help with a date field script

Sorry if this is a repeat. I was interrupted and found that my browser had crashed when I came back so I'm not sure if the question got asked.
I need a script for a date field (mm/dd/yyyy) where the user can only fill in a date that is between 12/31/1899 and the current date (whatever the date when the form is opened). I'm getting better at writing these but I haven't been successful with this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a feeling I already answered this question some time ago... Anyway, you can use this code as the field's custom validation script:
var minDate = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", "12/31/1899");
var maxDate = new Date();
event.rc = true;
if (event.value) {
    var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value);
    if (d<minDate || d>maxDate) {
        app.alert("Error! The entered date must be between " + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", minDate) + " and " + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", maxDate));
        event.rc = false;

Anyone here can help with a quick bash script?

I am no coder, by any means, unless you consider html code....I don't
any how, here's what i'm trying to do, if someone who knows bash would like to assist?
i have a folder, with a bunch of subfolders, inside these subfolders, is a setup.xml file.
and inside these setup xml files is a line titled product code with a string after it.
i could really use a script or sorts to go through and output all those product codes into a single text file right now, otherwise i'm sure i'll be here for hours
anyone care to help?

ooooh.......that works
tweaked it a bit and ran it from the source folder, worked well, this is what i ran though
find -name \Setup.xml -exec grep 'productcode' '{}' \; > theFile
does this give you any idea as to the file structure of the xmls?

Help with my first PKGBUILD script [solved]

Hi There
I am trying to write my first PKGBUILD script and I am landing in a bit of trouble. The script is short and is:
#Contributor: iKevin <kellwood-at-ameritech.net>
pkgname=fpm
pkgver=0.60
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A password manager for gnome"
url="http://fpm.sourceforge.net"
license="GPL"
depends=('xorg' 'gtk' 'glibc' 'libgnome' 'libxml2' 'glib')
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=(be7655d300c306c8f962f6aad0a60cc5)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
I haven't reach the point where it compiles. It failes to download the file. Oddly, when I type:
wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/source … .60.tar.gz
it downloads fine. When running makepkg, the contents of ./src/fpm-0.60.tar.gz is some kind of web page.
I have eyeballed this PKGBUILD script for a while and I can't see any problems. Is there something special about sourceforge files? I feel that I must have a typo because makepkg is using wget, which works by hand.
Thanks
Kev

Well,
I installed kedpm with my first working PKGBUILD script. I was able to import my "fpm" password file. Once I get my gnucash stuff transfered into grisbi, I will be able to switch my main machine completely to archlinux.
I know it is trivial for you guys, but here is my script -- it might save you some typing.
Kev
pkgname=kedpm
pkgver=0.4.0

source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('6b83a646873f8ea00af9c6403aa259bc')
build() {
cd $startdir
mkdir -p pkg/usr
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
python setup.py install --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr
