How to make a VPN route permanent ?

I have a VPN between my office and a lab on the east coast and I can use the following command from my Terminal to enable the route in my Leopard Server:
route add -net 10.48.239.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
How can I make this a permanent route? At this time if I reboot the server I must get into the Terminal and use the following two lines to make everything work again:
sudo su
route add -net 10.48.239.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
Thanks for any information any of you may have.
By the way within 6 months I will be doing the same task on a new Snow Leopard Server so if there are differences please feel free to chime in.

If you're having to manually set VPN routes then you're doing something wrong.
It isn't clear from your post where you're doing this. You say you set this 'in my Leopard Server', but it's not clear whether that server is the VPN server on the east coast, a server in your office, or another server anywhere else.
Normally, the VPN server sends out a list of routes the client should use, so knowing the above will help narrow down where your problem lies.

How to add a static route permanently in Lion

Hi, pls help to fix the problem.
How to add a static route permanently in Lion.
All methods for previous MAC OS are not working

Hi,
Not sure if you have fixed this, but I'd use launchd to create the route on startup.
If you create a text file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>local.imac.route</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>route</string>
<string>add</string>
<string>224.0.0.0/4</string>
<string>[GATEWAY]</string>
</array>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>root</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You need to replace [GATEWAY] with the IP address of the gateway to use like 10.11.12.13
Then as root (login as an admin user and use "sudo su -" to become root) type:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.imac.route.plist
You should be up and running.

How to make Highlighted links color permanent?

Simply, for example, in Wikipedia, I clicked a link in their page to a different page, then that link would have been highlighted as "has been selected or clicked" with different color (in this case: purple), while links not have been clicked before are in blue.
The problem is after a few week, the links the I have previously visited before which should have been in purple turned blue again indicating that that I have not visited this link before (but I already have). This seemingly seems like the cache have been reseted or cleared. But I have not cleared any cache. This could also be that the cache is full but I have not set any limit on the amount of content.
So my question is, how do I ensure that the link that have been visited remain highlighted permanently for the font color so that I do not make the mistake of visiting the linked page again?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have obsolete, no longer supported, preferences from previous Firefox versions.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the <b>about:config</b> page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).
Your System Details List also shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How to make url portlet parameter permanent

I have set up a url portlet inside portal.
I put tags in the provider.xml file for an input parameter for my url portlet to use. (I used the <isMandatory>true</isMandatory> so I would be prompted inside portal for the value.)
So, when I add the url portlet to a portal page a window pops up and asks me to submit a value for the portlet to use.
The portlet runs sucessfully.
MY QUESTION: How can I make the value that the page creator enters permanent so that the url portlet automatically picks it up whenever the page is run?
My purpose is to be able to add this portlet to several different pages and have it use the value that was defined for it when the page was created.
I have read several articles, but I must be missing something. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi,
You can make the following change in your provider.xml file.
<inputParameter class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.URLPortletParameter">
<name>csz</name>
<isMandatory>false</isMandatory>
<value>Set your value here</value>
<displayName>What location do you want a map for (City, State or Zip)?</displayName>
</inputParameter>
By doing so, it'll pick up the value from the provider.xml and append the value to the parameter in the URL, so that the constructed URL will have the parameter value without having to customize the page.
I hope this answers your question. Do feel free to come back here if you have any more problems.
Ashish.

How to make an ip assignment permanent...

I used to do this when I was running DHCP on my Netware server. I am now running DHCP on OES 11. I open the DNS/DHCP Mgmt Console and go to the DHCP (OES Linux) tab, but I don't have any method to make the assignment permanent. I only see a Lease tab with information about the ip address. What am I missing? How do I do this?

Hey Ken,
There is no option to change a dynamic assignment to a fixed one from within the Java management console (as the dynamic assignments are not written into eDirectory, but are written in the dhcp.leases file that is created on the server running dhcp services. The tool can only read that file to retrieve leases)
You do have the option to create a new manual assignment.

[SOLVED] How to make settings in LXTerminal permanent?

This is what I'm trying to do with the LXTerminal: Change the text color, make the window 100% transparent (including frames) and make the window pop up in my upper left corner at startup.
This is what I can do, and what I need help with:
- I can make the LXTerminal launch at startup editing /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart, but not where I want it (only default).
- I can change the text color, and make the window transparent (including frames with the help of obconf), but after reboot the transparency is gone, and I get this black header on my window that I have to remove by a right click option. All settings is set manually in the LXTerminal GUI, not by command line.
I've been searching the internet for solutions, but non of them seems to work for me. Everything I came across referred to Openbox files that doesn't exist in my setup. I'm fairly new to Arch, so please bare with my ignorance. Relevant software I run: Xorg, LXDM and LXDE.

Openbox is part of the LXDE group - so if you installed the whole group (as is the default action) you should have it already
:: There are 20 members in group lxde:
:: Repository community
1) gpicview 2) libfm 3) lxappearance 4) lxappearance-obconf
5) lxde-common 6) lxde-icon-theme 7) lxdm 8) lxinput 9) lxlauncher
10) lxmenu-data 11) lxmusic 12) lxpanel 13) lxrandr 14) lxsession
15) lxshortcut 16) lxtask 17) lxterminal 18) menu-cache 19) openbox
20) pcmanfm
Enter a selection (default=all):
... and is the default LXDE windows manager - although you can use any other if you so like
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox
You may be able to do what you want with a keybinding in:
~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
or a custom .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart

How to make the layout changes permanent. Urgent!!!

I have to upgrade a fmb file built in Developer2000(forms 4.5) to forms 9i. I opened it in forms9i builder and Performed some resizing and re allignment to the items in the canvas. But when I save the file and reopen the canvas I found some of the changes are effected and some are gone say the object appear at the same place where it was before...
Note : there is no frames in this fmb they have used only the staight lines to create the box around the section of the form. so setting the frame property update to manually from Automatic is not relevant here.
Could any one suggest me to proceed...
Thanks in advance...

Hi Garry,
I beleive My explanation about the case is not clear,
I want to migrate a .fmb file developed in Forms4.5 (Character Mode) to the Latest version say Forms 9i(GUI).
As I opened the file in the Forms9i environment some automatic validation and migration took place.
In the Layout editor the Items appeared displaced as the effect of conversion from Character mode file to BitMap file. So I manually Increased the Width of each Text Item to a single Space. (Note: Iam not using the ifcmp90.exe syntax as I didnot go upto the compilation level as of now).
I increased the width of the text items to one space to adjust the bevel effects of the web deployed forms.
I moved the objects to exactly position before the prompts
and as frames are not available in the character mode they have used straight line objects to seperate the items in the layout. These Lines I resized to adjust the form to accomodate the increased width items.
But I moved these lines a bit apart from the items and increased the vertical space between the items in the header section . These two changes alone is not taking place.
If this your understanding, kindly let me know how to send the sample to Oracle Support

How to make Terminal prompt change permanent?

I am using OS X Lion v10.7.2 and want to change my terminal prompt, but everytime I shutdown and restart Terminal, it defaults back to the original.

If it exists, its in your Home Directory

If you get
      ls: .bash_profile: No such file or directory, then just create it with:

How do I make my wireless router the "preferred" one?

How do I make my wireless router the "preferred network"? I have to manually re-select it each time I boot up or when it comes out of standby. This has only started to occur now that I have a new wireless router. I want it to automatcially select my router.

Have you restarted your computer? Repaired permissions and restarted your computer?
Which os are you using?

While using mac as wireless router ; How to make Mac sleep?

Hi all.
I set up my macbook to act as a wireless router [sharing it's wireless signal, via the "Sharing" settings in System Preferences]
using this guide
http://www.macinstruct.com/node/118
I am wondering how to make my mac sleep while this wireless-sharing setting is enabled?
Since I have enabled this setting, the mac will not sleep, however, the mac will sleep when I disable it.
I am also wondering ; [if it is possible to make the mac sleep while this setting is enabled], can I still use the mac as a wireless router even while it is asleep?
Or does it need to be awake to function as a router?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Thank you very much everybody for your answers.
Dominic23
and
BobTheFisherman
Yes, I kind of thought what you are saying would be the case.
It makes "sense" that when the computer is asleep, so are all it's functions,
but I *WISH* there was an option to keep the airport functioning even while the computer is asleep.
Bob, I don't think having the OPTION to leave the airport on while mac sleeps would defeat the power-saving feature of the computer (:
I know the "best" way to share wifi is with a router, but for me, a router just another piece of plastic I don't need. All I need to do is share wifi in a small space [my room] from my mac to my iPad and ipod touch.
I like to use my ipad as a reader, and when I am reading, I may be sitting down for many hours just reading from the ipad. It doesn't make sense to leave the mac running during these long periods just for a wireless signal, so I may sadly buy a router ):
Anyway, I get what you are all saying, and thank you for telling me the current limits of this function.
Cheers! (:

How to make VPN client auto timeout when it still idle?

How to make VPN client auto disconnect when it still idle?
Hi,I found some user still connected the VPN evenif they dose not use the VPN resouse.
I try to set a "idle timeout" for the VPN configuration.
We use PIX515 8.0.3 and CISCO ACS 4.2 for the VPN's connection and authentication,and the user use cisco vpn client for the connection.
I have tried many methods,but all failured.
First,I configed "vpn-idel-timeout 5" on PIX.It can not worked.
so,I add Radius(CISCO VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0+) attribute "[026/3076/050] Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout" on CISCO ACS,It still not worked.
And I also add IETF RADIUS Attributes "[028] Idle-Timeout" on group setting on ACS,it always not worked.
i found in vpn client's statistics,it always has some byte sended or received, i thought it maybe IPsec keepalive message or Radius message.
This maybe the reason because the PIX or ACS think the vpn user is keep working.
Can someone tell me how to make a "idle time out"?
best regard.
Roger

here is the configuration on PIX,
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
wins-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there. I have more info now though. It's not a problem with merging.
The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
When aperture start, it shows "importing". When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box. In the activity box, has many lines as below. The added projcts are all empty. It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.
