How can I do "pkgupdate" and/or create private patch clusters?

I hope this is the right forum for this post :)
I maintain a number of Solaris 8-10 systems which are automated by my scripts
(i.e. for dumping data to a backup server, watchdog the services, start up portal
services, etc.)
Long ago I made my life easier by creating such scripts; then I made it easier by
packaging these scripts into thematic Solaris packages (as in pkgadd/pkgrm).
Since this concerns maintaining older systems, references to the new OpenSolaris
Indiana Packaging System are not interesting.
Now I want to simplify maintenance and update of such packages by building a
patch cluster of them. In short, there should be one archive to copy to all these
servers and one command to run (i.e. patchadd), and it should reinstall only(!)
those of my script packages which are already installed.
An interim solution would be to come up with a sort of "pkgupdate" utility which
REinstalls only the existing package instances which are older than the one I
currently provide (perhaps someone can share a pkgadd admin file with options
to force such behavior?)
I guess I can script up another solution for this automation as well, but I wonder
if this wheel is already invented? It actually is, with the Sun-provided patch clusters
proving that, but I've not seen any tools to create such clusters myself :)
This is particularly important while maintaining a Solaris 10 system with lots of
Solaris zones. Having different tasks, these zones are configured with different
sets of my packages. Simply running pkgrm/pkgadd in the global zone would
result in all zones having all of these packages, and I don't want that since I
believe in specialization and minimization. And checking each zone is rather
tedious, there's lots of them.
Looking forward to constructive suggestions,
//Jim

Can you expand on that? How do you use automator in your game? Can you give me a rough idea of how and what you do with it? I have watched a tutorial on Automator and it seems more useful for documents.

Hi ...
Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
If you have problems resetting, use the email form here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

Music purchased from the iTunes store is not stored in your personal iCloud account, and an iCloud account is not required to redownload them. You should be able to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

How can I delete albums that I created and imported photos into on my iPhone4

If you synced the Photos from your computer to your phone, you have to unsync the pictures via iTunes.

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

filozof-
During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
2) Keep an action history in your program
3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

I need to have my macbook pro repaired how can I hide passwords and banking info?

Create a new admin account named repair and only give them the password for that account. Alternately you could back up or clone your system, erase the hard drive and then reinstall OS X with one admin account that has no personal information.

On Pages 09, my word documents I've been saving it to iCloud, to access anywhere, but I would like to keep my docs organized in files on my finder as usual, and saving to iCloud, I lose my local one.How can I fix it and not desorganize my files?

It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud. If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder. But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.

CS3 - How can I preserve Links and Hyperlinks in my INDB?

I am still pretty new to ID, so please speak slowly :)
My problem - I create an INDB that consists of several indd chapters. The chapters include numerous Links (to PNG & PSD images) and Hyperlinks both to Text anchors to other chapters within the INDB, as well as to URLs. I have all items saved on my local HD. Once complete, I do "Package for Print", check the Preflight report to make sure all is OK (it is) and then save the new INDB folder in a new location on my local HD. This all seems to work just fine, BUT if I move this packaged INDB folder (such as to a backup drive, or give to another worker that copies it to their HD), upon opening the INDB file, some links and Hyperlinks are broken.
It seems that these broken Links and Hyperlinks are still pointing to the original locations on my HD. But obviously not all are, since most links/hyperlinks DO work fine. The Hyperlinks to Text anchors within other indd chapters seem to typically break. Is there a way to force these to reference the packaged assets within the INDB folder? Seems ID would be smart enough to look there itself!
Also, I was creating some Hyperlinks as "cross referenced" - that is, I created a URL Hyperlink Destination in Chapter 1 indd and then created Hyperlinks pointing to it from other chapter indd in the book. I have learned that these ALWAYS break in the above scenario, so I started creating the URL destination within the same chapter indd and pointing to it there rather than across chapters. But this is just more work to keep re-creating the same URL destination in every indd!
I'll keep running into these problems since I need to share my finished INDB with other CS3 users. I also would like to be able to do a Save As of the INDB when creating a revised, newer version, but I see this also results in the new INDB links/hyperlinks still pointing to the original INDB's assets! Any way to make the Save As update the Links/Hyperlinks in the new INDB?
Thanks greatly for any insight. I can find no help in the Help on these issues!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

How can i include Services and Bindung in a generated WSDL file?

Hi,
i what to use a generated wsdl file from an erp system, to build a web service client with WSDL2Java (org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java).
I noticed, that services an bindings are missing, also a policy is included.
How can i include services and bindings in the wsdl and exclude the policy?
Thanks!

well, I assume you have SOAMANAGER.
choose your service & "Apply Selection" (very useless button btw)
select a binding in the dropdown box or create on if you do not have one yet
Click button "Show WSDL options" (actually they do not really look like buttons in WD; call it yellow blot)
Some extra config area is thrown onto your screen (without any sense for usability or design); Change the radio button for WSDL format from "WS policy" to "Standard"; make sure the first radio button group is on "True" for monolithic
Now click the link (why is this a link and no blot?) called "Display selected bindings WSDL URL"
an extra text field is again thrown onto your screen somwhere between the dropdown and the WSDL option config area containing an URL (get out your glasses if you don't see the sub-10pt-letters)
hope it helps,

When printing in Excel It is always want to use the acrobat X pro trial, which the trial is expired. I do not want to use acrobat X pro trial anymore. How can I reset it and use simple acrobat to print my PDF document?

When printing in Excel It is always want to use the acrobat X pro trial, which the trial is expired. I do not want to use acrobat X pro trial anymore. How can I reset it and use simple acrobat to print my PDF document?

Hi screen name,
Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'
