How to kill Dashboard without restarting?

I'm attempting to update Adobe Flash and I'm stuck on shutting down the dashboard client.  In the past, when you shut dashboard down, it was slow enough restarting that the update could complete.  Now that I'm running Mavericks, it restarts instantaneously and I can't get beyond that point in the Flash installation.
Any hints for shutting down dashboard for a period of time while I do the update, then restarting it?

Terminal
copy and paste:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES;killall Dock
to relaunch the dashboard:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO;killall Dock

    Hey GreenViking,
    You can kill the process manually by right clicking in the task bar (next to the time and date) and opening the task manager.

  • Kill Xorg without restart

    I can kill Xorg via a simple "killall Xorg", but how can I prevent it from starting up again? To auto-start Gnome, I have gdm in my rc.conf, so is that what's causing it to restart? Is rc.conf being run each time? I'd like to be able to kill Xorg and drop back to a plain VC.

    B-Con wrote:Is rc.conf being run each time?
    You probably have gdm in your DAEMONS array. rc.conf is not being run each time, but gdm is still running when you kill X, and it will re-start X automatically. That's why you have to kill gdm too.

  • How do I turn on -XverboseTimeStamp without restarting the server?

    The execute method on the getDiagnosticCommand seems pretty handy for invoking things programatically. I can turn on verbose GC with this command, but how can I turn on the verbose timestamps so I know when the gc occured (without restarting)?
    Thanks

    Try the "decorations" parameter to the "verbosity" command. Something like this:
    bq. verbosity change=memory=info decorations=timestamp
    See [http://e-docs.bea.com/jrockit/jrdocs/refman/optionX.html#wp1001095] for possible decorations.

  • How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

    Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
    The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
    Thanks!!
    PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

    The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
    How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
    So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
    On the next tab where you set IP address.
    Click the renew IP address.
    It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
    What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
    In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

  • How to view the change immediately after a java file is modified without restarting server or redeploy?

              Hi All,
              How to view the change immediately after a java file that is used in jsp is modified
              without restarting server or redeploy?
              Moreover, it is better to keep the original session.
              Any suggestion is appreciated.
              Kammau
              

              Hi,
              In order to have a new version of a java class, the current classloader must be
              deleted and a new one created. This is what redeployment does. I believe that
              this is more of an issue with Sun's implementation of classloaders. You could
              ask BEA support (719.232.7878) and see if they have any plans to periodically
              check jar files to see if java class file timestamps and destroy and re-create
              classloaders on the fly.
              1) You will still have to accept the performance hit of destroying classloaders
              and creating new ones. There isn't any way around that.
              2) I would think you would want to have more explicit control in production and
              integration anyway.
              You can redeploy applications from the command line (script) file not just the
              console.
              Hope this helps,
              pat

  • How to make changes runtime in ApplicationResources.prop without restarting

    hi,
    We are using Oracle App. server 10g server. Our application is so critical, we can not restart server frequently for small changes. Our client might need to change error message and other user message on regular basis. We use ApplicationResources.properties for messages. How we can update these messages at run time without restarting app server. Is it possible in Oracle App. Server. I know it is possible on JBOSS but not sure about Oracle App. Server.
    I tried to copy ApplicationResources.properties in application folder on server, but it does not give effect. Generally, we used to do this with JBoss server, but I am new to Oracle App. server, is it possible? If possible - how?
    I checked with my other team members, they are not sure. I also tried to find Java ranch and also other forums without success. your input might be very useful.
    One probable solution is to access these messages from database, but do we have any other option if we want to use ApplicationResources.properties ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    FBZP includes many activities. Some of them could be maitained directly in production. What activity do you refer to? Anyway, if this activity is locked for customizing in production, there are, generally, two ways to deal with this:
    a) open the client through SCC4
    b) changing the maintance preferences for the table/view in question
    In both case, you should consult your BASIS team first.

  • How can I load javaBeans in jsp without restart WL?

    hi,
              Restart WL every time I modify my bean really drive me crazy!
              Following the manual, I set up my servletclasspath and put all the beans
              I use in my jsp under that directory, I find out something strange:

              restarting;
              if my beans' scope is larger than page( such as session), then even I
              modify the jsp, instead of the fresh new beans I get the following

              thanks in advance...
              

    That makes sense. If the session contains an instance of an old class, and
              you cast it to the new class, then you should get a class cast exception.
              One way around this is to use interfaces that are (for development) in one
              of the outer class paths (system or weblogic, I can't remember which) ...
              the only time you mention the class name is to new it. Then you cast the
              contents of the session attributes to those interfaces. The interfaces can
              not change without restarting the server, but the implementations can.

  • How to modify JSP on Weblogic without restarting a server

    Hello,
    Could someone explain how to modify JSP on Weblogic without restarting a server?
    We use WL 10.2.
    I search and modify required jsp on a server, but nothing happens on a Web Browser. I run in Development mode.
    Please advice,
    Thanks,
    Yuri

    Hi Yuri,
    As you are in Development mode you have one options to use the Auto Deploy folder which can be found in the following path (domain_name/autodeploy).
    More information on Auto Deployment check the below link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/deployment/autodeploy.html#wp1021626
    Other option is to use the following parameter "*page-check-seconds*" in your weblogic.xml file
    For more information check out the below link

  • I have Office 2012 for Mac.  I want to add Outlook without restarting a trial of Office 2012. How can I do it?

    I have Office 2012 for Mac.  I want to add Outlook without restarting a trial of Office 2012. How can I do it?

    To help with nomenclature: iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones and iPods.  OS-X is the operating system for Macs (versions are 10.xxx with the latest being Mountain Lion (10.8.5 is the current patch level)).
    Now, to answer your question:  MS Office for the Mac does not give you the ability to individually install, or remove, components like the Windows version.  It is an all or nothing proposition.  So, Outlook should already be there.  If not, you will need to reinstall the entire package.

  • Firefox keyboard layout changes to something I don't recognize, the traditional [ QWERTY ] reads as [ ',.pyf ] any idea why this would happen or how to change it back short of killing firefox and restarting.

    This happens randomly and infrequently. At first I thought it was my cats fault but it has recently happened while I was sitting at the computer with no feline interference. If someone could let me know how, if it's possible, to change the keyboard layout to QWERTY I will try this next time it happens to see if it can be corrected without restarting firefox. For a larger sample I will include the lines below:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    yd. 'gcjt xpr,b urq hgmlo rk.p yd. na;f eri
    This is only effecting firefox, no other programs are changed and it does effect all running and new instances of firefox.

    See:
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
    * The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)
    * Vista: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

  • How do I restart apex without restarting the database?

    As the title says... How do I restart apex without restarting the database?
    For the second time in as many weeks apex 3.0.1(?) has stopped working while the database (10gR2) hasn't missed a beat.
    How do I restart apex?
    How do I get it to restart automatically on failure.
    How do I receive failure notification messages.
    How do I diagnose the cause of the failure.
    We were looking at using apex in a production environment but the prospect of unplanned restarts of production databases every week is a little daunting.
    Regards,
    David

    David,
    >> We're not using oracle http server as it's a 64 bit version so yes the whole thing is running within the database.
    1) So your Web server is the XDB HTTP protocol server and embedded PL/SQL gateway (basically, the database's embedded Web server)? Is this 11g? If so, what platform?
    2) Are there any reported issues in the database alert log?
    3) When you check the status of the database listener, does it show services running for this specific port (default 8080, I guess)?
    4) If you normally go to http://server:port/apex, when this situation occurs, what happens when you try and go to http://server:port?
