How do I run a program after login, but before the desktop?

How would I run a program right after the initial login using gnome/JDE?
With CDE I could edit the ~/.dtprofile to get the desired effect, but dtprofile is a CDE configuration file.

There used to be sn automator action that might have gotten the job done. It was on http://automatorworld.com/ but I can't seem to find it now.
I haven't test this under Lion but there is a system preference pane called "Do Domething When" that should get the jeb done. http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/
I have taken the opposite approach. My iTunes library and I have the same problem if it has not been mounted when iTunes launches. I created an Automator app that mounts the music then launches iTunes. Try mounting the drive the launch Automator to create the following workflow.
1. Connect to server and select the external drive.
2. Us the Launch Application step to launch iTunes.
Unmount the external drive and test the workflow. If it works save the workflow as an app and use that to launch iTunes.

    Rephrase your question. Do you mean you keep getting login key chain errors?

  • How do you run a program on another computer over the network

    Would like to send and receive my aol email and run other applications from my other G4 that I don't have installed in my main computer through the in house network- without opening the application on the main computer. In other words, running the 2nd computer from the main computer.
    Does that make any sense?
    Hope so, j

    Hi Joseph, makes perfect sense!
    You need to get Chicken of the VNC on yours...
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
    Then on the other G4>System Preferences>Sharing, enable these Services...
    Personal File Sharing
    Remote Login
    Personal Web Sharing
    Apple Remote Desktop
    Remote Apple Events
    You should be able to have the other G4's screen show up on yours and run the other one.

  • After the update I don't know how to close running apps? I recall double clicking the main button then hold one app until they begin a jiggling motion. But that no longer works.

    How do close running apps?

    You still double tap the home button and the apps are lined up across the screen. Swipe up on the app preview thumbnail - drag it up off of the screen - and that will close the app.

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • Possible to run NXT program on PC simulate before I run it on nxt brick?

    1. Is it possible to run NXT program on PC simulate before I run it on nxt brick?  For example, NI has this program http://legoengineering.com/library/doc_download/126-play-the-scale.html so I want to run it on my PC first to check it and or modify it.  Then later I will install(compile) whatever to put it on the nxt brick.  Is there any type of simulation program or visual simulation of what I am about to put on the nxt brick before I put it on? 
    2.  (a)What is the difference between Lego NXT-G 2.0 versus (b)(Labview Student edition $80.00 + NI LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT )? I am guessing no datalogging with just option b?
      (a= http://www.legoeducation.com/store/detail.aspx?CategoryID=178&by=9&ID=1670&c=1&t=0&l=0&bhcp=1 ) (b= http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4435 )
    Thank you?.

    I do know of this one software where you can simulate the NXT, but it might only be for NXT-G programs.
    SimplySim at The NXT Step
    Other than that I don't think there's any way.
    As for the difference between the two, there's a whole ton. Those are two different programs with very different syntaxes. Lego NXT-G is the basic software that comes with the NXT kit. It's a very scaled down version of LabVIEW and is pretty nice. LabVIEW is much more advanced and you can do much more with it, but you are restricted to using the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit and the NXT's cababilities. (no float, only so much RAM, etc.). But you can still do a ton more with it. Yes, you can data log with LabVIEW in, like, many ways.
    Hope that helps!

    Darrell,
    Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
    But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you?

  • How can I set a gap in a JTextField, before the active Textfield starts?

    Hi,
    how can I set a gap in a JTextField, before the active Textfield starts?
    I'll avoid, that the input text starts immediately after the border of the JTextField.
    Btw, how can I set the height of the JTextField in a BoxLayout?
    Thx.
    Hans

    Yes, that was also my thinking, but nothing happens.
    Maybe You have an idea :-)
    Thx, Hans
    Here a part of my code:
      private JPanel createEntry(String label, JTextField jtf, String initJtf, boolean editable) {
        jtf.setColumns(15);
        if (editable) {
          jtf.setEditable(true);
          jtf.setBackground(new Color(191, 191, 255));
        else {
          jtf.setEditable(false);
          jtf.setBackground(SystemColor.control);
        jtf.setText(initJtf);

        jtf.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
        jtf.setMargin(new Insets(50, 20, 50, 40));   // <-  The PROBLEM
