How to push app update by command line?

I want to release new version of my app designed for IPAD 4 by command line. All these devices are managed by Profile Manager. Do you know any methods, that would help me to push new version?

Compiling iPhone apps from the command line

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to
a) Compile and iPhone app.
b) Run an iPhone app.
using the command line? My concern is to have a command for each of these steps separately, rather than one for 'compiling and running'.
Thanks in advance.

For compiling, take a look at xcodebuild:

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used in vCSHB installation?

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used during the installation of vCSHB? Is it required in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? Is it used to create the files that are put in the file share for the second node to use during vCSHB installation or is it only used during a vCSHB clone operation of a Physical to Physical deployment? Are these tools not used in some deployments?

You need Windows Server Backup installed on source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will invoke the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will backup configuration and application data (application data is optimal but can decrease the sync time after installation of secondary node). On the secondary node you will need only run the vCSHB installer and everything will be restored.
Check this blog entry for some more info about some problems in P2P deployment: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/

How to configure Team explorer 2010 command-line tool in Mac x os.
Hot to configure shell or system path to include the folder to which (TF client) unzipped archive available. I am new to Mac X OS. Please help.

Dmitry,
Thanks for the great writeup!
I think I've got my universal instant client libraries built correctly.
I too am using MacBook Pro but I'm getting stuck at building the 32 bit oci8.so
First problem is my pecl download (ver 1.4.1) did not contain a "configure" file so ./configure failed.
I used configure from /sw/....... to try to continue.
Second problem. Using existing configure from /sw/.... I used an appropriate variation of your example command
(./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2 && make).
Things look like everything ran OK but The output does NOT include an oci8.so file
So I guess my question is: Which "configure" should I be using? And if it is not the one on the system under /sw/...
where would I get it since it doesn't come in the pecl download?

[Enterprise App] - How to push app out if user cancels update

I am using Mac OS X Lion Server's Profile Manager to push updates out to my iPad app users.
When the user is prompted, "The server is about to update the app blahblahblah" he or she is given the choice to Update or Cancel.
If the user presses "Cancel" there doesn't appear to be a way to push the app back out, even using Lion Server's "Update" function for the device.
How do I do this?
Thanks!
D

Update:
I should have clarified that the App (as well as said theoretical device) is associated with a Device Group profile.
It does seem as if this might be a bug in Profile Manager. Profile Manager is aware that the device refused the app update, but using the Update function on the device doesn't properly sync the app back to the device.
Looks like the best way to handle this is to add the app to the profile for the device itself (which I don't otherwise use); have the user accept the app; then it's safe to remove it from the Device Profile so long as the device and app remain associated with the Device Group profile.

How to push software update thru ARD

How can I push software update to the client macs thru the ARD? Please help.

Hi
You don't really need ARD to push Apple specific Software Updates to mac clients. You could utilize the Software Update Service instead:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/SystemImaging_and_SW_Update_Adminv10.5.pdf
More of the same from here:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/
If by Software Updates you mean 3rd-Party applications such as Adobe's suite of products then unless they are .pkgs or .mpkgs you won't be able to. However even for these you could utilize PackageMaker:
http://oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/2003/09/16/packagemaker.html?page=last&x-maxdepth=0

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/distribu ting/chapter9_section_3.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40002855-TPXREF102
and build a .pkg for non-pkg applications and push those out using ARD. Another way of doing this is via the command line man softwareupdate - which can be also be done using ARD.

Initiate Application Installation from App Catalog via Command Line / PowerShell

Hey Guys -
We have a single, fairly extensive OSD task sequence which covers systems for all departments. Due to it being a single TS for all, PC Lab techs must manually install some apps after it finishes via the Application Catalog. In past environments,
I've used MDT's UDI Wizard to create a frontend where techs could select additional software they wanted installed during the TS and it worked great! I'm trying to get something like that approved now, but in the meantime told the techs I'd come up with
a temporary solution to make their job easier.
Enter WPI (Windows Post Installer.) Back in the days before I used SCCM OSD and relied in Acronis images (yuck), I used a the WPI tool which only ran once - at the first login - even before the desktop
loaded. It's highly customizable and basically shows a single window which lists any applications or scripts (in groups) which you have configured. You place a checkmark beside each one you want to install, click the "Install" button,
then watch it's installer frontend install each of the selected apps. Once done, it either restarts the PC or exists to the desktop. For each application I can add, I'm provided with a few options to
install it. Obviously, an installation command line string field, but also a few more like installation order, requirements, and dependencies.
My Question
Each of the applications I've listed are in our Application Catalog and are advertised to All Users. Even though I could simply point the installer string to the app's source path and use the same string that the SCCM Application uses, I've been asked
to do something different. Instead, I'm trying to find a command line string which when run would perform the same action as if a user had selected to install an Application from the Application Catalog.
My thoughts are that if this is possible, it would probably be in the form of a PowerShell string - not just a basic command line one. Since WPI has a frontend which shows the progress of each app's installation progress as well as overall progress,
it's designed for the installation strings to install the app silently. Therefore, I would much prefer my solution run silently as well if possible.
So... does anyone have any idea for how I can make this happen? Thanks!
In case it makes a difference or answers any questions, below are two screenshots showing most of the fields and options which may be used to configure how an application installs in WPI. I couldn't include the Dependencies one since I could only
attach two images to my post. Also, the manual for WPI is embedded in the application's
download (ZIP) and not a page on their site. For the examples below, I used Google Chrome, but didn't configure anything besides the application's name:
Application Detail Options
Application Command Options
Ben K.

From what I'm reading, you are working towards MDT but it's not approved yet, so the goal is to:
Deploy a "bundle" of applications as painlessly as possible without using UDI to make customizations quick.
Lets talk options then.
Option 1: If machines types are in a unique OU or security group, create a collection for that and set these applications to mandatory install. After initial deployment, the provisioner can drop the computer in the proper OU or group and you're
good to go. Downside: collections refresh plus client check-in makes this less than instant.
Option 2: Orchestrator. You can write a runbook that will approve and push apps. You can then use the Orch console front end or a more friendly sharepoint/SM portal to push things out like a Manager would approve apps. Downside: if
not already deployed, there's no way they would approve that infrastructure if they are hesitant about MDT/UDI :)
Option 3: PowerShell and WMI. This should be doable ... but I've never tried it. It looks like you're headed down the right path ... but i guess my question is: if you can't have UDI when do get to pick the app? Are you planning
to write a full multi-box for them to check their apps after the fact? In that case ... just have the appcontroller URL pop up on first login ... might be easier than reinventing the wheel.

Can't open .term Terminal.app files from command line

Howdy. I use Terminal.app constantly for ssh'ing into numerous remote machines. On my G4 Powerbook I have simply created .term files with customized colors, titlebars, and an appropriate ssh execution string for each machine/userid combination, which I am able to open with "open ~/bin/foo.term". Life is no longer so joyously simple on my new Intel iMac. I create a .term file (via Cmd-s while in a terminal window), but the above command to open foo.term now simply doesn't work on my iMac once a single terminal window has been opened (even after it's been closed) -- I can start one such file only from the finder or via Launchbar or Quicksilver. The only way I can use my .term files is by switching to Terminal and selecting File...Open and clicking on the .term file -- which, being a command line (and Launchbar) junkie, I hate, of course. Applescripts don't work either.
I would be forever grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this problem!

I cannot do it either.
Ah, interesting -- thanks for the input. I had thought the problem might have something to do with the fact that I was using an Intel iMac, but you are using a PPC iBook. The problem isn't with 10.4.6 either, as that is what I'm running on my G4 Powerbook, and the .term files work as expected on that machine.
Initially I thought it was a
problem with permissions, i.e the term file hadn't
the execute bit set (which it did not). Setting the x
bit though did not help at all.
Right, the .term files aren't executable.
A work around was to
save the command(s) into a plain text document in
text edit (not rtf) as a .command file (no txt
extension in this case) and set its execute bit in
terminal (sudo chmod u+x ...).
I don't quite understand the workaround -- what command(s) exactly did you put into the .command file? Could you paste the contents of such a file here?
I have not dealt with term files extensively but I
noticed that .term files are xml ones. Could anyone
shed some light in possible changes in the way
terminal handles them?
Since the .term files work as desired on my Powerbook, it now doesn't appear that Terminal.app has changed its processing of the files. Something else is going on here.

1- Is it because it depends on how jpr or jws are configured ?
2- How can we automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line (as opposed to using Jdev IDE to click to generate a build.xml) ?

The first warning is happening because you're stating drivers for input devices without need. You haven't disabled hotplug so evdev gets used instead of kbd. This is normal, and you should change the driver line from kbd to evdev so that whatever options (if any) you've specified for the keyboard get parsed.
The second warning is about you not installing acpid.
The third I have no idea about, but look at the synaptics wiki. None of the (WW) are related to your video card.
And every card that has 2 or more output ports show up as "two cards". You also don't need to specify the pci port in xorg.conf. edit: this is the general case with laptops, might be different for desktops.
When I do lspci -v I get:

And it doesn't matter if it errs in trying to sli up with it self. That's just not a possibility.

How to run the JNLP from Command Line

Hi All,
how to run the JNLP file from the remote machine from our command line. I have requirement to run this JNLP file in java 1.4.2 version. Can any one tell me the procedure or the steps that are needed to run this file at command prompt.

If this app. is normally hosted on wwwgate0.mot.com then it can 'phone home' to the server without further permission, but if you are running it from the command line, that might not be the codebase anymore.
If you wish to do 'local testing' of such an app., I would recommend setting up a server like Tomcat on the local machine, and serving the test app. directly off that.

Firefox keeps prompting users to disable java plugins How can reinable them through the command line or registry?

Windows users keep getting prompted about java version being insecure and are advised to disable the plugin. They then complain that java based websites no longer work. Can I disable / prevent this warning feature. And can I re-enable java plugin via command line or script? I need to do this on a large scale and various versions of firefox. Right now I will need to abandon firefox if I cannot easily resolve this. Yes I realize updating to latest version of java is a solution... but this will take too much time now and how long before another security fix for java and then I will have to update yet again.

Tylerdowner, to say that Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported is not an answer. Apparently, the so-called block deployed for the Mac OS X version of Firefox, created to deal with a vulnerability in Oracle's Java, has now crept into the Windows version. Moreover, it is blocking the latest version of Java, which was not intended according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741592. The official text of the block follows:
Java Plugin has been blocked for your protection.
Why was it blocked?
Outdated versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to an actively exploited security issue. All Mac OS X users are strongly encouraged to update their Java plugin through Software Update, or disable it if no alternatives are available. For more information, please read our blog post or Oracle's Advisory.
Who is affected?
All Firefox users who have installed the Java plugin, JRE versions below 1.6.0_31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_2.
What does this mean?
Users are strongly encouraged to disable the problematic add-on or plugin, but may choose to continue using it if they accept the risks described.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.
Well, whoever wrote the code to block the Java plug-ins specified above screwed up, since it is blocking even the updated Java plug-in.
I have an enterprise with many computers, and we had deployed Firefox as our browsing platform. Based on the latest decisions at Mozilla, new version numbering, forced release cycle, and almost all add-on vendors just walking away from the maintainence nightmare created by this decision, I guess it's time to move over to the Dark Side and adopt Google Chrome.

Apps with long command lines

All,
I have an application which has quite a few parameters. Once sequenced, the path in the shortcut is prefixed with the local storage location of the sequence, pushing the path length to 278 characters which is byond what we can use in Windows.
Can anyone advise ways around this?
Many thanks

Sure.
I'm using App-V v5.
The shortcut for the application would be:
"c:\program files\application\application.exe param1 param2 param3 param4 param5" etc etc
Translated into App-V 5 this would become:
"C:\ProgramData\App-V\9816CD98-D85C-4BB3-8597-7615201EAC6D\63EA6D79-DA43-46FD-AAE4-F2E602C0A906\Root\application.exe param1 param2 param3 param4 param5 etc etc"
So, the following causes the command line to exceed 255 chars:
"C:\ProgramData\App-V\9816CD98-D85C-4BB3-8597-7615201EAC6D\63EA6D79-DA43-46FD-AAE4-F2E602C0A906"
Instead of:
"c:\program files\application"
In my particular case 2 of the parameters are UNC paths and without App-V v5 the path is shorter than 255 chars. but with App-V v5 its over 270.
Many thanks

JDev 10.1.3 how to invoke oc4j_remote_deploy.jar from command line?

Hi, does anyone know how to invoke the JDev 10.1.3 oc4j_remote_deploy.jar from the command line? We have it working for 10.1.2, for automated deployment scripts.
If I try the same thing for 10.1.3, I get an error.
See below my command line and the output.
I think the error is in the Oc4jDcmServlet URL, the format seems to have changed from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3.
I tried to reverse-engineer by using an HTTP tracer, but that did not help.
Any help would be much appreciated.

In my opinion, you will succeed in handling linefeeds in output texts by using an <tt><af:outputFormatted></tt> tag in conjuction with a JSF converter that replaces the linefeeds with a <tt><br></tt> tag in the text. You will have to implement a custom converter class (this is quite simple, see below) and to set it to the <tt>converter</tt> attribute of the <tt><af:outputFormatted></tt>. The converter class should look like:
public class MyLinefeedConverter implements javax.faces.convert.Converter
public MyLinefeedConverter() {
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
    return value;
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
    if (value==null) return "";
    if (value instanceof String) return ((String)value).replace("\n", "<br>");
    return value.toString();
}In this way the linefeeds in your text values will be replaced by <tt><br></tt>, which will be rendered by the corresponding <af:outputFormatted> tag as line breaks.

How to open an url via command line?

Hi all,
I want to open a pdf file via a command from a web location. I try this: "AcroRd32.exe http://server/path/file.pdf" to do so, but this way results in an error message about bad filename.
Is it possible to open a pdf in such a matter?
Background:
We use a CRM, the CRM use of webdav to allow content changes. The CRM is written in JSP and use a java applet to start the appropriated application for changing the content of a document. This works fine for all sorts of apps (winword, texteditors), only acrobat has problems with approach.
Thanks for your support
Lars

Hi,
I also need to know if it's possible to open a document on the web from the command line.
It is possible to specify the URL in the Open dialog of the client, why not from the command line?
No answer has been received for this question during the last few years!
Doesn't anybody know the answer to this?
Maybe the answer is "No, it can't be done"?
