How do I use the 'mv' command??

I want to move some scripts file into my /User/Local/Bin/
folder but i cant i get
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
and i dont know what else to do because i really need to move the files.
So far this is the way im doing it
sudo mv encode-handheld-5.2.pl /User/Local/Bin/
And when I do that I get this message...
mv: rename encode-handheld-5.2.pl to /User/Local/Bin/: No such file or directory
How do I use the mv command or how am i supposed to mv those files.??
Help Please!

You are still not providing the path to the file you're moving. Did you read my earlier response? Are you sure this file is in the current working directory? Try the "ls" command (that's lowercase "LS"). Do you see that file? If not, follow my earlier directions.
As to whether the /usr/local/bin directory exists, it should, but you can check with:
ls -al /usr/local/bin
If you get an error, the directory does not exist for some reason, which means your system is in an uncertain state.
BTW, meaning no offense, if you don't know all this stuff, you should be very, very cautious when using the Terminal. It is a very dangerous place to those who don't have some idea what they're doing. You can irreparably damage your system (requiring a reinstall) and even destroy your data with very minor typos.

How do I use the a command from a .dll with labview?

I want to use for example the M8784Open() command to control an M8784
photon counter. I know how to place a call library function node
but don't know where to go there. The user manual for the photon
counter has the following explanation of the M8784Open() command but I
don't know how to use their advice in labview!
7-3-1 M8784Open( )
Declaration HANDLE M8784Open( BYTE Board );
Parameter
BYTE Board
Specify the board to be used: M8784_MASTER or M8784_SLAVE. Specify both
when making 2-channel measurements simultaneously. It is not possible
to specify M8784_SLAVE only.
Return value A handle for the M8784 is returned when the function has succeeded..
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is returned if the function has failed..
Explanation Calls a handle to allow the M8784API.dll to use the M8784.sys driver.
Hereafter, specify this API’s return value (handle) when using other APIs.
When quitting M8784 operation, call up M8784Close( ) to cancel the driver.

You need to find out the equivalent number of the parameter. Somewhere in your documentation, or inside a file (for example, a header .h file in C/C++) you will find the definitions of each parameter.
For example, M8784_MASTER may have the value 1 and M8784_SLAVE the value of 2. You already know that it is a BYTE, so it will be a number of type U8 in LabVIEW. You need to find the exact values.
Probably, by value "A" it means the hex number "A", which is 10 in decimal. You need to find that in your documentation.
You also need to find the type HANDLE. It can be a BYTE, etc. Once you know that, find the value of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, so you can test for the error.
Most of this information can be found in the document Using External Code in LabVIEW. Check your help file, or check this link.

Enrique

How can I use the defaults command to edit a sub key in an array of plist?

For example, how could I edit the Name key in the array?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Test</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>IPAddress</key>
<string>xxxx</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>yyyy</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>

I realize you are asking specifically about 'defaults', but as they concede in 'man defaults', it may not be the best tool for editing properties in "complex" structures, such as those buried in dicts within arrays, etc.
As an alternative, it looks like in 10.5, '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy' is now a part of the standard install - 'PlistBuddy' may be more useful for this sort of task.
For example:<pre>
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set Test:0:Name zzzz" /path/to/file.plist</pre>

How do I use the commands to start and restart the jmqbroker normally?

How do I use the commands to start and restart the jmqbroker normally?
Because I have tried to use "jmqcmd shutdown bkr" and then tried to type
"jmqbroker" to start up. My screen hangs up and seems that the process
hangs up. The message is
[28/Jun/2002:18:29:07 GMT+08:00] [B1060]: Loading persistent data...
[28/Jun/2002:18:29:08 GMT+08:00] [B1039]: Broker "jmqbroker" ready.
The prompt is hanged until I press CTRL-C.
Then I got the following message:

Then, I use jmqadmin to invoke the console, I can start the broker
again, it gives me
Error encountered while connecting to the broker: "MyBroker":
Broker Host: 'localhost'
Primary Port: '7676'
[C4003]: Error occurred on connection creation, - caught
javax.jms.JMSException
Please verify that there is a broker running on the specified host and
port.
I used ps -def | grep jmq there is no process anymore.
Is it a bug? Would somebody have any idea on what went wrong?

'jmqbroker' is the command to start a broker.
When you type 'jmqbroker' in a command window,
unless you put it in the background, the shell
prompt won't return until the broker is shutdown.
So when you see 'Broker "jmqbroker" ready.', it tells
you that the broker is running and is ready.
When you CTRL-C the process, it has the same effect
as using jmqcmd to shutdown the broker. And so after that,
there's no jmq processes running since you have just
shutdown the broker.
Remember that the jmqcmd/jmqadmin 'restart' command is to
restart an already running broker. jmcmd/jmqadmin does
not support starting a new broker instance.
If you are using csh, end the jmqcmd command with an ampersand ("&")
to have the broker running in the background. An alternative is to
stop the process with Ctrl-Z then input the command "bg" to have that
process resumed in the background.
The problem with not being able to start a broker using the
administration console is a documented limitation of the product that
Yvonne also mentioned. Check the Administrator's Guide for that.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?
When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

How do I use the VIs for the Fluke Hydra Series 2620a multimeter?

This message refers to the VIs found at this link:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9468659CE034080020E74861
How do I use the VIs for the Fluke Hydra Series 2620a multimeter? I am conducting a Senior Design Project at Temple University. It is a Control System where I need to read voltages from sensors and output voltages to different system components. I am trying to set up a VI using the VIs found above to make sure that I can successfully read and send voltages. There was no documentation given with the 2620a VIs.

Unfortunately, you've got a very old driver for an old instrument. The only available help is to turn on Context Help and move your mouse over the VI icon. It doesn't appear to have any help for individual controls and indicators. The only good news is that it appears to be a simple instrument with only a few functions. There's some main ones line initialize (to set serial port), configure channel, configure instr, and read values. One main thing is whether you're using gpib or serial, Each front panel has a setting. If it's gpib, set the port to the gpib address. If it's serial, set the port to one number less than the com port you're connected to. For example, if you're using Com1, set the port to 0. For the other controls, I'm afraid that you're going to have to try and compare what's there with the controls and settings of the actual instrument. Having access to the instrument manual will be essential. I would engourage you to experiment a little. There's probably very little chance of damaging the instrument especially if nothing is hooked up to it. Send a command and see what happens or set the instrument up manually and see if you can reproduce that via remote control.

How Do I Use the API to Abbreviate?

How do I use the ACE API to limit the output field length and properly abbreviate the output field?
Using the pwace command-line application, I get abbreviated output that looks like this for a 30 byte field:
nnnnn GEORGE WASHNGTN MMRL HWY
However, when using the API, I end up with a truncated field:
nnnnn GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORI
This is from the PRIM_ADDR field.
How do I use the API to get the same field value as the command-line application?
Thanks,
Rob
Edited by: rriggs on Jun 30, 2010 11:36 PM

Rob,
The jobfile product has intelligent truncation built into the product. However, with the API this would be up for the user to code around.
Thanks,
Brandon

How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
Thanks

Simple question with a not so simple answer.
(a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations. Digital video is processor intensive. The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it. If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus. You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
(b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
(If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
(4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
(5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo. For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Post Author: Micha
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

Including files/resources using the ADT command line

Hi all,
I'm trying to get file support into my ADT helper tool before I release an update. I am still having problems.
According to the Adobe docs on the subject, the following commands can be used:
-C "path/to/new/working/directory" [files and folders to include]
-e [files and folders to include] [package directory to add these to]
The following example works fine for me:
// This changes the working directory to my audio resources folder, and then packages the file 'track.mp3' into the root folder of my application package.
-C "C:\\resources\audio" "track.mp3"
Hoiwever using -e option in any way generates an error:
// This copies the file 'sfx.mp3' from the current working directory to the application package subdirectory 'lib'
-e sfx.mp3 lib
This also causes an error:
// Change the working directory to resources/audio and then copy the file called 'sfx.mp3' to the 'lib' subfolder of the application package. Error.
-C "C:\\resources\audio" -e sfx.mp3 lib
The error in both cases is:
File does not exist: sfx.mp3
Any ideas how I can use the -e option? Does the working directory not come in to it - do i always have to use an absolute path to my file?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Not sure if it will help in your situation, but I just include files by adding the filepath at the end of my adt command line (no -e or -c). Eg (included files or bolded):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -jar C:\Users\t.randall\Documents\AIRSDK\AIR_3.0\lib\adt.jar -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ..\..\Deployment\CareerBox.p12 -storepass pass -provisioning-profile ..\..\Deployment\CareerBox.mobileprovision ..\..\CareerBox.ipa CareerBox_iPhone-app.xml CareerBox_iPhone.swf AppIconsForPublish\Icon29x.png AppIconsForPublish\Icon57x.png AppIconsForPublish\[email protected] AppIconsForPublish\Icon512x.png AppIconsForPublish\Icon48x.png AppIconsForPublish\Icon72x.png Default.png [email protected] Default-Landscape~ipad.png Data\Cards.xml Data\CareerCards.xml

Using the assert command

I'm trying to use the assert command but when I try and compile my code netbeans outputs a error telling me that I'm trying to use it as a identifer. Although I'm sure I'm not.
Do I have to change any options to compile a assert command?
the code I'm using is:
count = (calories / 50) + (fat / 12) - (fiber / 5);
assert count > 0 : "Adjusted calories < 0";

I don't know how you do that in netbeans. I use Eclipse or JBuilder. There is usually some checkboxes under build cofiguration, and one of them usually says some thing like enable asserts, or enable 1.4 source compability.

Using the at command

Can I use the at command to run a command like "say". In effect can I make my mac say a text at a specified time?
I tried writing a say command to a text file on the desktop called "atjob".
<pre> say "Take a break now"</pre>
then tried
<pre> at -f ~/Desktop/atjob 18:36</pre>
and voila! nothing happened at 18:36
atq showed job scheduled at 18:36.
How can I make it work?

The man page says this ...
NOTE
at, batch, atq, atrm are all disabled by default on Mac OS X. Each of these commands depend on the
execution of atrun(8) which has been disabled due to power management concerns. Those who would like
to use these commands, must first (as root) re-enable atrun by running:
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist

Reducing apps size using the "strip" command

Hello,
I'm trying to create a Terminal script to reduce all my apps size, using the "strip" command.
Therefore, I have to look up into all the .app packages of my hard drive to find all the exec files, and then apply the strip command to them.
The thing is I am a complete newbie, and all I come up with is : (without the ")
"find . -name "exec" -exec strip '{}' \;"
But it doesn't seem to work at all...
I think this is due to the name reference.
-> How do I find Unix executable files (even inside the .app packages) using the "find" command?
-> And how do I correctly apply the "strip" command to them?
thanks for your help!

"find . -name "exec" -exec strip '{}' \;"
I think that you need to check the -perm option of find.

Caution About Using the Email Command

I have just done preliminary investigation into a potential problem with using the Email command in Aperture (2.0.1). If Mail Preferences/Composing are set to use RTF, then even a single selected photo that results in an email message (where no text whatsoever is entered) is preceded with some extraneous headers, and quite a bit of HTML code. This will trigger the problems recipients using Outlook and Outlook Express (but not limited to those email clients) are well known to have with attachments appearing to be embedded in HTML code resulting from Mail.
If the Compose preferences are set in Mail to use Plain Text, then nothing precedes the attached image, unless something is typed, intentionally.
This defeats the automatic conversion to Plain Text that Mail normally uses when only one font, and no multiple size or colors for that one font, are used. While I keep my Compose preferences set to use RTF, typically, I have relied upon the auto conversion to Plain Text to keep my messages from being problematic to certain recipients.
There would appear to be no purpose in the extraneous headers and HTML being added as a result of the Email command. I have not gone back and tested Aperture 1.5.x for this issue.
Btw, you will not see the extraneous headers nor HTML without using View/Message and choosing Raw Source.
