How to create scripts that perform these functions?

Hi Apple people
I got Mach Desktop because I saw this screenshot:
But it turns out that you have to create scripts/Shell scripts yourself. Googled it, and all that shows up is their website with "sample" Desklets that are tiny grey windows with words in them.
So can somebody please tell me how to create the battery percentage script, the weather, & the date?
Thanks so much!

Battery Percentage:
pmset -g batt
Weather, replace the following POSTALCODE&u=f with your postal code in the example on Mach Desktop wed site. Hmm, if you want to know if it's raining of the President then:
curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=20500" | \
grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | \
sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/ //' -e 's///' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/ //' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'
The date is very easy:
date

How to create script that run sudo-command?

How to create script that run sudo-command, via automator?

Hi
I'd want to create script to automate one command I need quite often. I just can't get this to work.
I'm not using english OS, but I think this is what I do. In automator I choose Utilities -> Run script
Here's the script I try to run:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart"
I found some tip to do it like this:
do shell script "sudo /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart password "pass" with administrator privileges
Where pass is my admin password.
This does not work, either.
Could anybody help me on this?
Thanks...

This is not working. What's wrong?
What's wrong is that the '--restart' is a parameter for boot.sh, and therefore needs to be included within the quotes.
Additionally, the shell uses spaces to divide parameters, so the spaces in the command will make it appear as multiple commands - '/Library/Application', 'Support/VMware' and 'Fusion/boot.sh'. You need to escape them using a backslash:
<pre class=command>do shell script "/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --restart" password "pass" with administrator privileges</pre>
If it's outside of the quotes it would be interpreted as a parameter to 'do shell script' and it won't know what to do with that.

How would I create a simple script that does these specific things?

I am trying to create a script that does these few simple task but I can't seem to compile all the cmdlets together into one. I can pick one task out and have a command for it but I want one script to do it all. Here are the tasks I need it to do.
store the current location (as in C:\scripts)
test to see if a folder C:\output exists, if it does not, create it
prompt the visitor for a folder name (no C:\)
obtain a directory listing of that folder showing all .ps1 files only
place the results of this listing in a file named PS1_files_[folder name].txt in the c:\output folder
repeat this task as part of a loop until an empty string is entered
restore the present location (for example C:\scripts)

How to Create inspection that assign to Purchase Order / Material Document

Dear QM Master,
I am using QA01 to create inspection lot but can any master tell me , How to Create inspection that assign to Purchase Order / Material Document ?
Appreciate.
Thank you.

Hello,
When you create an inspection lot manually, you cannot reference an original document (for example, a goods receipt document, an order, or a delivery note).
In QA01 you can create inspection lot manually for all inspection lot origins except the following:
10 - Delivery to customer with sales order
11 - Delivery to customer without sales order
12 - General delivery
13 - Repetitive manufacturing
14 - Plant maintenance

How can I create a button that performs the function of a keyboard shortcut, specifically print scrn

I need my presentation users to take a screen shot of a slide within my presentation. I know that windows 8 has a new function that allows a screen shot to be taken and saved directly to the user's computer and I need a button that can be placed on a slide and perform this function. The shortcut is (windows key) + (print scrn). I want to save my userss some time and just have a button perform this task. Any idea on how I can make this possible? I am using Captivate 7.

I think Ajit may have misunderstood your need. The command he told you about triggers the Print command to allow you to print the currently active slide (on a laser or inkjet printer). This does not have the same result as you would get by hitting the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (to take a screencapture and have it saved to the Clipboard for pasting somewhere else).
You can add a button to your slide and set the PrintScreen key as the shortcut, but this will NOT mean that clicking the button will cause a screencapture to be taken.
There are JavaScript libraries that will allow you to execute JavaScript code in a Captivate project that can take a screen capture:
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Screen-Capture
However, to implement these solutions you would need to be quite knowledgeable with setting up JavaScript. It's not for newbies.

How to create a generic datasource from function module?

Dear experts,
I have created a generic datasource from function module. For this extrator, I created a function module and a structure.
I have now some difficulties to continue:
In this function module, i get data from different transparent tables. Then i put these data into an internal table.
I just don't know what is the relatioin between the structure i defined and this internal table.
I should make "iTab structure AA" in the source code?
Thanks

Generic Extraction via Function Module
/people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2005/09/29/generic-extraction-via-function-module
1. Create s structure with the fields that you need from the 4 tables . Activate.
2. Goto SE 80 Select The Function Group , Copy , Select the Function module
" RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
Y or Z .
3. SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change , In table tab give your structure
name by deleting the associated type given in " XXXX " .
4. Now select source code and Do the coding . Give Data source name in Coding .
In your case you have to take data from more that 1 table .
5. Activate the Function Group .
6. In RSO2 Create the Data source , Give the Function Module Name , And Save.
7. RSA3 -> Give data source name and Check for the Records .
Creation of custom datasource. (Using function module)
.Create a function group .
. Structure ZTXXXX
Create function module (i.e. ZTESTXXX) .
. Create the data source using transaction (RSO2).
. If structure exists for the table parameter of your function module then ok else create a structure for the table parameter .
Test the datasource in R/3 using transaction RSA3.
Transfer the data source to BW System and replicate it in the BW-System.

Generate Create Script creates scripts that won't run: ORA-00922: missing..

I'm having trouble running a script that I created by using the Generate Create Script tool in Oracle Explorer. I created the following script by running the Generate Create Script on a table called, "ASPNET_APPLICATIONS":
CREATE TABLE "DEV"."ASPNET_APPLICATIONS" ("APPLICATIONID" NUMBER,"APPLICATIONNAME" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),"DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE)) TABLESPACE "USERS" PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE ( INITIAL 65536 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645 MINEXTENTS 1 )
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "DEV"."PK_APPS" ON "DEV"."ASPNET_APPLICATIONS" ("APPLICATIONID" ) TABLESPACE "USERS"
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "DEV"."IDX_APPS_APPNAME" ON "DEV"."ASPNET_APPLICATIONS" (LOWER(TRIM("APPLICATIONNAME")) ) TABLESPACE "USERS"
ALTER TABLE "DEV"."ASPNET_APPLICATIONS" ADD ( CONSTRAINT "SYS_C004598" CHECK ("APPLICATIONNAME" IS NOT NULL) ENABLE VALIDATE )
ALTER TABLE "DEV"."ASPNET_APPLICATIONS" ADD ( CONSTRAINT "SYS_C004597" CHECK ("APPLICATIONID" IS NOT NULL) ENABLE VALIDATE )
I then deleted the table in my Oracle 10g database and ran the above script to recreate the table. The result is that I get an error the following error, ORA-00922: missing or invalid option. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Is anyone aware of any bugs in the Generate Create Script option of Oracle Explorer?

Okay, I think I found my problem.
I was trying to run the script created by Oracle Explorer directly from a Database project I added to my Solution in Visual Studio. Visual Studio is probably using some SQL Server specific tool when I select the Run or Run On option on the script.
When running the same script directly in the Oracle 10g Home Page (Home > SQL > SQL Scripts), I had no problem. Everything executes correctly.
Is anyone aware of another way to run Oracle scripts directly from Visual Studio? Do I have my project setup incorrectly? This is the first project I've used .NET and Oracle together, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Mycole

Can an Applet call a Perl script that performs Unix file commands?

Hi,
I would like my applet to move a Unix file from one directory to another. (Both directories and the file are on the same server as the applet).
In my applet I have code that calls (I think) a Perl script through a URL connection and passes the name of the file that needs to be moved:
URL urlMove = new URL("http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/fileMove.pl?" + fileToMove);
URLConnection urlConn = urlMove.openConnection();
In the cgi-bin I have a perl script (fileMove.pl) that performs the move:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
$pfile = $ENV{?QUERY_STRING?};
$cmd = ?mv stageArea/$pfile $pfile?;
system $cmd;
The Perl script works fine when I call it directly from Internet Explorer, but when I call the script from the Applet the file is not moved. Am I doing something wrong?

Got it to work!
Changed the Java code to:
URL urlMove = new URL("http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/fileMove.pl?" + fileToMove);
urlMove.openConnection();
InputStream moveStream = urlMove.openStream();
and in the Perl script added the line:
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
The applet running my a PC is now effortlessly moving files on the unix server, wahoo.
Aside: I also found that my applet web server and the files the applet reads/writes do not have to be on the same machine. In the applet's cgi-bin directory I created a "link" to the networked unix directory where the image files are actually located. I really expected the Applet I/O Security to complain, but it work like a charm. Go figure.

How to Create a new Number Range Function in R3

Hi,
Go to snro
create an object say zabc
specify short text and long text and
number length domain say num10
then click number range interval at the top and specify starting and ending number.The number you want
for ex
from number 5700000000
to number 6799999999
make sure i should be no of digits in specify in previous .
Then you use this object i.e zabc where ever you want
for ex
 call function 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
 exporting
 nr_range_nr = '01'
 object = 'ZABC'
 quantity = '1'
 SUBOBJECT = ' '
 TOYEAR = '0000'
 IGNORE_BUFFER = ' '
 importing
 number = number
 QUANTITY =
 RETURNCODE =
 exceptions
 interval_not_found = 1
 number_range_not_intern = 2
 object_not_found = 3
 quantity_is_0 = 4
 quantity_is_not_1 = 5
 interval_overflow = 6
 others = 7

How to create table that is not scrollable but shown as pages?

Hi,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 and working on Fusion Web application (ADF BC and ADF Faces).
My client is demanding that tabels looks similar to those in ADF 10.1.3 with pages not scrollable.
Is it possible to create such tables in Fusion? How would I do that?
Best regards

Yes I have tried that but only found answers that explaining tunning query of VO with how much records are going to be fetched at one time.
I was thinking about option that you could actually chose to which page do you want to go and not with scroller.

Where is the DLL file that exports these functions?

I have been tasked with controlling a DAQCard E-series via program written in C. My development environment is MinGW on Windows 2000, with DAQ-MX and Traditional installed.
I started by using the MX example code as a foundation. Everything goes well it comes time to link the code; the linker can't find the exports defined anywhere.
E.g.: WriteDigPort_Fn.o : undefined reference to 'DAQmxCreateTask@8'
WriteDigPort_Fn.o : undefined reference to 'DAQmxCreateD0Chan@16'
etc.
(Same with the Traditional example, since it's using the same NIDAQmx.h header file)
My guess is these are properly defined in the (MSVC) .lib file supplied, but MinGW doesn't like it. I can build a definition file for this DLL that Min
GW will like, but to do this I need to know, what is the name of the DLL file these functions actually are exported from?
PS: Not part of my question, but for everyone searching here for info on NI DAQ + MinGW: MinGW defines 64-bit integer types using 'long long' instead of 'int64'. If you're getting errors referring to int64/etc., change the following lines in NIDAQmx.h:
//typedef __int64 int64; // replace this
typedef long long int64; // with this
//typedef unsigned __int64 uInt64; // and this
typedef unsigned long long uInt64; // with this

Greetings,
The NI-DAQmx ANSI C functions are contained within nicaiu.dll. This DLL should be available in the following location:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
Good luck with your application.
