How to make Applications.app run in terminal?

Hi,
Apple has a good way of making Applications.app to launch when double clicked via finder. I am having a hard time, though, when I launch it via terminal. When I try to type in #./Application/Whatever.app the terminal reads it as a folder. In a way, to run it properly I have to go a longer path. I have to run it by typing #./Application/Whatever.app/Contents/MacOS/Whatever.bin. I think running it that way is just too long. I want it to be quick as possible.
Is there a way to set a path to something like $PATH = "/Application/$Whatever.app/Contents/MacOS/" so that as i tab key in the terminal I would be able to see the binary file right away? Or is there a way to alias the terminal so that when i type /Application/Whatever.app it launches the corresponding binary of that .app folder?
I am a newbie in Mac but I fairly now how to operate linux systems. Quite frankly I have not explored all the .app folders in my Application folders so I dont know how many binaries exists inside a .app folder.
I hope you guys got the idea and help me out.
Thanks,
Kilopopo

OK. You may also want to check out the Applescript variants. You can for example run
<pre>
osascript -e 'tell application "TextEdit" to open'
</pre>
There is a man page for osascript and there is a lot of information about Applescript in different places.

How to make a JApplet run in a Browser

HI ALL:
Can anyone tell me how to make a JApplet run in a IE.
I am using JComponents and Visibroker for JAVA ORB for connecting to another ORB's which would in-turn connect to a C++ Server and finally to the SQL Server.
I am getting a NoclassFoundException whenever I am running my JApplet.
My code is >>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" Content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>
ORB ISSUE TRACKING SYSTEM

<Applet

</Applet>
</Body>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Cabase file is a winzip file having all the ORB's compliant classes and my source classes to interact with the ORB Server.
Help is urgent.

I have been having exactly the same problems but I was using JDK 1.2.
I discovred the problem could be resolved by using the Plug-in on navigaor or IE and bingo it was perfect.
I also discovered that using the AppletViwer would allow me to see the applet. Then I upgraded to JDK1.3 or 2 or whatever it is and nothing.
I recompiled the classes using the !.3 still nothing. The applet vewer don't work and the plug in don't work.
I tried to recompile using the oldjavac ( I assume 1.2) and nothing I do will make this JApplet run. Ordinary a�pplets are OK. Applications with swing are OK, but JAPPLets are dead
I have come to the conclusion SUN has screwed up big time and are frantically scrabbling about looking for a fix. I have reveert to javascript/DHTML as this is both consistent and stable and for considerably less effort and aggravation you can get 90% of the functioonality.

What app have you used to create your ibook? Normally any app will have a menu item like File > Export that will give you the option of PDF, or you can use Print and there will be an option in the Print dialogue to Print to PDF.

Hi Hookso,
You can do it using the different loops like While loop and For Loop. Roderic has already stated how to do it using a for loop. I have illustrated in the attached vi how to do it using a while loop and Elapsed Time function. Take a look.

How to make Attribute Change run alignment & Hierarchy changes in Aggregat

Hello
I want to understand that How to make Attribute Change run alignment & Hierarchy changes in Aggregate?
I posted previously the same question but there were not good answers and i was not able to understand clearly .....
If there is Process chain XXY which makes Attribute change run for Master Data 0SPELLING ?
Now there is Aggregate TRT which includes :
0SPELLING , Fiscal Period , Purchase Product, Purchase Category ?
Now pls answer following question ?
1) Does the Process Chain XXY which makes only attribute change run alignment for 0SPELLING , Will this process chain automatically do the Change run alignment for 0SPELLING in Aggregate TRT ? YES or NO
2) If Yes, then we are just suppose to do Roll up for Aggregate TRT after Process chian XXY completes and finish job ?
3) If No, then what steps are suppose to be DONE so as to make sure that Aggregate TRT has new values and perfect values for 0SPELLING ?
Please answer and coorect if i have any wrong question....

for e.g.
u have 0spelling whicha has attributes x,y and z on day 1 with 10 records
so do ur aggregates on day1 with same values
now on day2 u had new values of attributes y,z,s,d and new hierarchies and so u add new records
with data load u will load the data with version M of modified and is not available for reporting
If u do attribute change run then this modified version is activated to A i.e. active version .
It will also do the change run alignment for Aggregate for new attribute values and new hierarchy values for aggregate.
now in order for this data to be available for reporting u will need to do the roll up of aggregate.....
if u roll up aggregate before attribute change run , new data is not avaialable for reporting
if u roll up aggregate after attribute change run, then data is available for reporting
if u dont roll up aggregate eventhough new data is in dataprovider, still new data will not be available for reporting.
this is how it works

On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

Double tap the home button. Slide the preview window upward. You can do 2 at a time.
It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps). The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources. The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.
