How to automatically open and close an application at specific times?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to open and close an application at specific times.
I have set iCal up to open it no problem...however, the application needs you to click yes before entering into it upon boot.
How do I do this and close the app. I tried creating a workflow in automator, but iCal simply opens the workflow and does not play it. This also does not solve the issue of needing the 'yes' button to be clicked.
Kind regards,

How to automatically open and close collapsable spry panels?

I designed a collapsable spry panel in DW to open and close automatically, with a 10 sec delay, unless person clicks on tab to close immediately.
The spry panel opens automatically, but will only close if i click the tab.
Is there a way for the collapsable spry panels to close automatically?
[Moved to Spry forum by moderator]

Arnout,
I feel certain the answer I need is in the reply you posted here, but I need a little more help to know exactly what to do. I am using a collapsible panel to show and hide a series of onload panoramic photos near the top of my page. What I want is for the collapsible panel to be open on some pages and closed on others and I want the animation of the panel closing to be seen too. I'm thinking this should be achievable with some sort of onload trigger or something. Currently I've gotten close to what I want by referencing two different .js files (one for the "open" panel state and another for the "closed" panel state), but this doesn't show the graceful animation of the panel closing. Any ideas on how to achieve what I want? Here is the url of the test site I'm developing: http://www.gregdanpartners.com/lrre2/index.html
Thanks in advance.

Tap the '+' to the right of the URL field to open a new tab, and at the bottom left of the screen there should be a 'Private' button - tap that and you can then go to the site that you want to go to

Combine supported files is not automatically opening and closing source applications?

On my Vista 64 machine, suddenly, the "Combine supported files in Acrobat" has begun malfunctioning. Instead of automatically opening and closing the source application (such as MS Word), Acrobat opens the application and then asks to save a new PDF file for each source file and stalls out the conversion. This problem is not happening on my Win XP machine. I have used the 'Repair Acrobat Installation' function but the problem is not corrected.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just to close out this thread, the bug was fixed with the latest version of Acrobat Pro Extended (9.3.3).

How do I open and close VIs from within a VI?

Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to use a VI to open and close other VIs based on user input. Example: The first VI will have text that reads: "Does the car have heated mirrors?" There will be two buttons: one for "YES" and the other for "NO."
If the user hits the "NO" button, the current VI will close and a similar VI will open that asks the user the next question, "Are the mirrors lighted?" "YES" or "NO..."
If the user hits the "YES" button, the current VI will close and another will open that will tell the user to "Activate the heated mirrors" and press a button that will say "NEXT." At that point, that VI will close, and in two minutes another VI will open and ask the user "Is the driver's side mirror hot?" with another set of "Yes" or "No" buttons. If the user presses "YES" we will have verified that the heated driver's side mirror is working properly and store that information somewhere . If the user presses "NO", the VI will close and another VI will open with some kind of repair instruction and a button that says "RETEST" that will rerun the heated mirror test when repairs are completed.
During the two minutes we are waiting for the mirrors to heat up the program should move on to the next question: "Are the mirrors lighted?" "YES" or "NO..."
Does anyone know how to manipulate VIs in this way? Please help!
Drew

Instead of opening and closing vi's, just create one main vi with a state machine architecture. Search for examples on state machines to get a basic understanding of them. This is pretty complex so I have written an example of how this could be accomplished. The trick part was the 2 minute timer (my vi is set for 5 seconds for quick testing). Each state produces a question, and depending on the answer, the next state is inserted into a queue. You can add more states for more questions and answers. Notice that the boolean buttons can be hidden if you just want to show one button (like Next) instead of two buttons (Yes and No). Study the vi and let me know if you have questions.

How do I open and close vis programmatically?

I want to open and close a vi with a switch control. What is the best way to do this?

Probably the easiest way is to utilize vi server operations. Vi server will allow you to open a vi and close a vi programmatically. This is a great example that is built into LV. THis should give you some ideas. Hope this helps.

Automator - Can I automate opening and closing an application?

Hi,
I am just starting to use Automator and I would like to get my computer to open a programme at a certain time and then close it again.
Finder has the action 'Launch Application' but does not have 'Quit Application'.
I have figured out how to link it to iCal, so that the application will open at a set time but I need the application to stop at a set time too.
Can anyone help?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Also use PowerBook G4

hi dragonfly,
try this action ( http://automatoractions.com/files/quitapplication1.0.html )
that site has plenty of other actions listed, some even like this one, available from apple but not found on the automator downloads section of the apple.com site.
i have an app that i like to restart every few hours to clean it's cache out (it runs while i'm not at my computer), so i made a little automator action to quit the app, use the pause for x seconds, just to wait for it to clean everything out, and then launch the same app. i've saved the action, but i also made an app out of it, then i launch that app as a repeating alarm. then, after the last alarm, i made an action/app that just quits the app that i was relaunching. i know i could just use applescript in the last alarm to tell the app to quit, but it was jsut as easy to save the extra workflow/app for use with another app in the future, where applescript may not be available.

How to open and close period?

Hi all,
How can I open and close Period in MM module?
thanks

Hello,
First of all read SAP Note 487381. T-code MMPI. If you don't have a backup or a request saved on development client with the previous period, you may try to modify the record on the table MARV (don't try yourself - discuss with a specialist who know your SAP system). If there isn't any records it won't be a problem!
Good Luck!

Automatically open and quit app at specific times

I want to open the DVD Player app at a specific time in the morning and have it play a DVD all day (it's looped). I then want the app to quit at a specific time at night. The computer will go to sleep from when the app quits until right before it opens (I have that part figured out).
Can someone show me how to open and quit the app at specific times or point me somewhere where I can learn how to do this? I'm an AppleScript newbie, so explanations are grateful. I will be using a Mac Mini for this installation.
Thanks!

Use iCal alarms to run the following scripts:
tell application "DVD Player" to run
tell application "DVD Player" to quit
Each line is a separate script.

Hi Sunaina

Automate the opening of MM periods
How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods (transaction MMPV - program RMMMPERI) with
SM36?
RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working
day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
Another possibility:
Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

Trackpad is presenting a bug to open and close windows, mission control, and to move/roll the application (App) up and down.

Totally out of the blue, my trackpad is presenting a "bug". Every time that I try to open and close my mission control, or in the moments that I move / roll up and downs the Applications Screen, my Mac freezes for less than a second.
It never suffered any damage (NEVER!)! I am feeling very frustrated because I have no idea about what could cause such problem.
My MacBook Air is running OS X 10.9.5.
Any help will be very welcome!

Well, it all really depends on the custom program and how it was written. Does it have an ActiveX interface? If it does, than that's the easiest way to go. If you put an automation refnum on the fron panel, you can right click and it and choose Select ActiveX Class>Browse. The browser will list all of the ActiveX type libraries that are registered on your system. If you can find one that refers to your custom program, then you should be able to use it's methods and properties to control. If it does not have an ActiveX interface, then things get much more difficult.
