How to run a safari window in the background at all times?

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I want to do this. Allow me to explain. The website twitch.tv is a streaming service for gamers, and there is a browser plugin specifically for the site called betterttv.
One feature of this plugin is that you will get a notification whenever someone you are following starts broadcasting, right in your notification center. But because its a browser plugin, and is specifically for this one website, it requires a safari window to be open with the website twitch.tv in order to push the notifications.
So my question is... how can I make a browser window stay open at all times and run in the background with this website open so that I get my notifications? I had the idea that I could retain the window even when I "quit" safari, because I can run a seperate instance of it in the form of Webkit Nightly which isnt affected by safari not being running.
But I am still oblivious as to how I would set up a window like this, and it has to start at login in addition to being running throughout the day. (I shut my Mac off at night.) Any amount of help would be appricated

I'm well aware of how to minimize thanks, and it *is* possible to have a Safari window open if you quit it, because you can run it as a separate instance by using WebKit Nightly...
I am just looking for the best way to set it up so that a WebKit Nightly window will open upon startup, navigate to that webpage, and hide itself. Preferably in the background. This could be done using a .command file or a startup script in automator. My question is.. What is the best direction to take?

How to run a server program in the background on Linux or Windows?

I just finished writing a Java network application with multiple clients and one server.
However, I am not sure how I can run the server (SomeServer.class) in the background on Windows. Also when I am running it on Linux, I don't want it to terminate when I logout of the Linux shell.
To run the server on Linux, should I use a command like this?
nohup java -cp . SomeServer.class > output.txt &
Or is there another command, or perhaps some code that I can add to the program so that it would run in the background automatically and/or continues even when I logout of the Linux shell??
Sometimes, I also like to run the program on a Windows XP machine for testing purpose. How can I do it so that it runs in the background without openning a Console/Command Prompt window??
(redirecting the standard output to a file)
And is there an easy way to create a EXE file that runs the program with the default JRE in windows?

On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

How to run a JRockit process in the background(Linux ia64)

Hello,
I am trying to start a JRockit process 1.4.2 (with a Java app) from an SSH console and make it keep running after I log out. This is on Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 4 with Itanium II processor (ia64).
The obvious thing such as
java <options> <class> &
or even
nohup java <options> <class> &
Do not work and the process terminates when I log out.
Is there a recommended method or a facility to run JRockit in the background as a service/daemon? Does JRockit has switch similar to â€“Xrs of Sunâ€™s JVM?
Starting the process on system boot and having to reboot the system to restart it are not acceptable.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zapta

Zapta did get an answer. You may have missed it if you're using nntp to access the forums, since many newsreaders don't track threads that change the subject. I recommende the using the web UI at dev2dev.bea.com.
Anyway - Use "-Xnohup" with older versions of JRockit. In recent JRockit versions, "-Xrs" works as well, since we seen problems with people hardcoding that flag into various applications launchers (Tomcat for one).
Cheers!

Dwm: some questions (e.g. bring floating window to the background)

Hi,
currently I'm diving into the world of tiling window managers (or at least I try to).
dwm looks nice and fast (with awesome I have the feeling that changing the master window takes much time/feels slow)
One thing I couldn't find out is how to bring a floating window to the background (or a tiled window to the foreground). Floating windows always stay on top so that they prevent mo from seeing every part of a tiled window.
Thanks in advance for your help

Ok, I tried the raiselower patch but it seem it's not working. I created the file raiselower.c
void
raisewindow (const char *arg) {
if (!sel)
return;
if(!(sel->isfloating || lt->isfloating))
return;
if (!arg) {
XRaiseWindow(dpy, sel->win);
} else {
if (lt->isfloating)
XLowerWindow(dpy, sel->win);
else {
XWindowChanges wc;
wc.stack_mode = Above;
wc.sibling = barwin;
XConfigureWindow(dpy, sel->win, CWSibling | CWStackMode, &wc);
and added the line
#include "raiselower.c"
to my config.h but when I makepkg I receive the following message:
In file included from config.h:39,
from dwm.c:242:
raiselower.c: In Funktion »raisewindow«:
raiselower.c:5: Fehler: Anfrage nach Element »isfloating« in etwas, was keine Struktur oder Variante ist
raiselower.c:10: Fehler: Anfrage nach Element »isfloating« in etwas, was keine Struktur oder Variante ist
I try to translate : Request after element "isfloating" in something, that isn't a structure(?) or a variable/attribute
/edit: Ok, I also tried pertag but I think it doesn't work with the latest version of dwm. I can only switch the layout of a tag once. When I switch to another tag and back again, changing the layout doesn't work anymore (on no tag).

How can I run 2 Dreamweaver windows at the same time?

How can I run 2 Dreamweaver windows at the same time on my
PC?
basically I have 2 monitors and I want to edit CSS on one
monitor and have the html page open on the other so I can quickly
look from one to another with in a split second instead of taking
that extra time to switch back and forth using the tabs at the top,
I know I should probably invest into a mac so i can work out side
of the Dreamweaver application window and I will in the future but
is there any way i can do this on my windows XP pro PC?
Thank you
Maurice

Open the CSS in DW, and use F10 to open the Code Inspector.
Place the
latter as needed.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key. Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.
Command-Grave Accent

When my most front window is a safari one and I use the shortcut key "Command N", it opens a new finder window and a new safari window at the same time. Why does it happen?

Open the General tab of the Safari preferences and correct the home page; the default page is this one. If it has become set to a folder on an FTP server or a local drive, that request will be sent to the Finder. (28252)

PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion, Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?
