How to run a script automatically just before Reboot or Shutdown

Hello all,
Could someone tell me what folder or what entries to be made if I want an event to take place before the machine actually start the reboot/shutdown process. For instants, i usually mount my USB flash drive but sometime I forget to umount it, which will cause a dirty file system when restarting the machine. Would anyone have an example to get me going. It's just like when rc.conf will do added things for you during start-up if special code/script was inserted.
There are other things I like to do before the machine reboot or shutdown, like, to run a very small scripts to automatically kill a certain process "first", before the rest and before rebooting. I'm sure I can write the code but I don't know where it goes.
Thanks in advance
PS: Thanks fsckd, Your explanation of SKIP/SEEK for dd has never been explained so well in any documentation, or on ANY web-site I ever been to in 6 months pass. Now I know how it really works and i'm getting it down to a science. I did not use it for what my thread indicate because in the end the other suggestions were better, but still I Thank God I finally know how to use SKIP/SEEK in dd. dd is my most use tool for what I do.

There something new every day to learn with this OS. Just when you get one thing right here's comes another. I guest it took 20 years to build LINUX and I read the kernel has something like 10 - 30 million lines of code or better. Some how I lost the better link that went much deeper. 30 million lines of code mean billions of documentation to read. But you still got to find the right one first. So I guest we read and still have to ask questions just to get to the good parts, and than ...

Arch should already automatically unmount your USB drive. If it isn't unmounted, that's a bug and ought to be filed at http://bugs.archlinux.org

How to run a script automatically once a day

Hi everybody
I need some help: I should run a script in Illustrator once a day, automatically at 23 p.m.
What is the easiest way to do this?

What about: Scheduling "open" & "close" Illustrator in the Windows scheduler and then putting the script in the startup folder of illustrator.
Should be working, right?
-> Closing Illustrator at 10 p.m.
-> Opening Illustrator at 11 p.m.

How to run a script from Calculation Manager

Hi All,
I would like to know how to run a script made by using Calculation Manager. I have converted a simple rule script which has just one statement(HS.EXP "A#Sales = 100") in "Sub Calculate()" by using FMRulesMigrator.exe and then imported, deployed to an application. when I execute "Calculate" from a Data Grid, the rule didn't take effect to application data. If I load the script by using classic rule editor, it works fine.
Is there anything I have to know to run a rule script which is made by using Calculation Manager?
Thanks in advance.

How to run a script on Oracle server from isqlplus

Hi I am trying to run a script on my workstation from Oracle server through isqlplus workarea. I entered following command and get the following error. i have enabled isqlplus URL by editing web.xml file already. Can please someone help how to run the script?

SP2-0920: HTTP error 'page not found (505)' on attempt to open URL

So far, you haven't specified your rdbms version and isqlplus behaved differently on a 9iR1, 9iR2 from the one release on 10gR1/R2. on 9i it was a servlet based on a JServ servlet executor machine, meanwhile on 10g it is a J2EE compliant application deployed on an OC4J container, so configuration is different.

How to suspend the script be executed before Alert.show() completed?

how to suspend the script be executed before Alert.show()
completed?
In a window, when users want query and display new data, they
should be asked whether to save the old data. The
queryAndDispleyNewData script should not be executed untile the old
data is saved or be gived up.
queryNewData(){
if (Alert.show(askSaveOrNot)==YES) doSave();
queryAndDisplyNewDate_Script;
however, the face if the queryAndDisplyNewDate_Script is
always executed before doSave(). how could I do?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You cannot suspend the script. Flex/ActionScript is
event-driven. When you post a dialog box - modal or not - you
assign event listeners to it. It is in the event listeners that you
do whatever it is the dialog is asking - saving data back to the
server, for example.
Requesting and posting data to the server is event-driven
too. If you request data from the server you must process it in an
event handler (which includes data binding).
If you are going to develop Flex applications you will need
to understand event-driven programming.

Powershell: how to run vbs script with switches.

Background: To remove a specific service, I usually log into a server, go to path c$\Program files\HP... find a specific vbs, and run it using CMD.exe.
Now, I'm new to powershell, so I'm looking into automating this job. When I use CMD, I run cscript path\serviceinstall.vbs
-r.
How do I add cscript switches to powershell?
IF
((test-path -path "servername\C$\Program Files\...") -eq "true")
invoke-command -scriptblock ""servername\C$\Program Files\...\serviceinstall.vbs -r?

1. You cannot run VBS as a scriptblock.
2. If youactually were to have read the full help ypu would have seen how to use the command.
3. Given you initial questin and the vague answers you gave there is nothing any could do to help you.
If you do not give accurate information you will not likely get answers that are helpful.
I recommend starting at the beginning and learning PowerShell basics. If you had done that you would know that a script block is not a quoted string with vbscript in it or the path to a file.
When working with any technology it is important to read the instructions carefully. It is also useful to knowhow to do basic research on the technology you are trying to learn.
There are 15 examples in PowerShell V2 for Invoke-Command. Here they are as captured directly from PowerShell V2. (The is no update-help on V2. All help is built in.)
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -filepath c:\scripts\test.ps1 -computerName Server01
Disks: C:, D:, E:
Status: Warning, Normal, Normal
Description
This command runs the Test.ps1 script on the Server01 computer.
The command uses the FilePath parameter to specify a script that is located on the local computer. The script runs
on the remote computer and the results are returned to the local computer.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -computername server01 -credential domain01\user01 -scriptblock {get-culture}
Description
This command runs a Get-Culture command on the Server01 remote computer.
It uses the ComputerName parameter to specify the computer name and the Credential parameter to run the command in
the security context of "Domain01\User01," a user with permission to run commands. It uses the ScriptBlock paramete
r to specify the command to be run on the remote computer.
In response, Windows PowerShell displays a dialog box that requests the password and an authentication method for t
he User01 account. It then runs the command on the Server01 computer and returns the result.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
C:\PS>$s = new-pssession -computername server02 -credential domain01\user01
C:\PS> invoke-command -session $s -scriptblock {get-culture}
Description
This example runs the same "Get-Culture" command in a session (a persistent connection) on the Server02 remote comp
uter. Typically, you create a session only when you are running a series of commands on the remote computer.
The first command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a session on the Server02 remote computer. Then, it saves
the session in the $s variable.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the Get-Culture command on Server02. It uses the Session p
arameter to specify the session saved in the $s variable.
In response, Windows PowerShell runs the command in the session on the Server02 computer.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -computername Server02 -scriptblock {$p = get-process powershell}
C:\PS> invoke-command -computername Server02 -scriptblock {$p.virtualmemorysize}
C:\PS>
C:\PS> $s = new-pssession -computername Server02
C:\PS> invoke-command -session $s -scriptblock {$p = get-process powershell}
C:\PS> invoke-command -session $s -scriptblock {$p.virtualmemorysize}
17930240
Description
This example compares the effects of using ComputerName and Session parameters of Invoke-Command. It shows how to u
se a session to run a series of commands that share the same data.
The first two commands use the ComputerName parameter of Invoke-Command to run commands on the Server02 remote comp
uter. The first command uses the Get-Process command to get the PowerShell process on the remote computer and to sa
ve it in the $p variable. The second command gets the value of the VirtualMemorySize property of the PowerShell pro
cess.
The first command succeeds. But, the second command fails because when you use the ComputerName parameter, Windows
PowerShell creates a connection just to run the command. Then, it closes the connection when the command is complet
e. The $p variable was created in one connection, but it does not exist in the connection created for the second co
mmand.
The problem is solved by creating a session (a persistent connection) on the remote computer and by running both of
the related commands in the same session.
The third command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a session on the Server02 computer. Then it saves the ses
sion in the $s variable. The fourth and fifth commands repeat the series of commands used in the first set, but in
this case, the Invoke-Command command uses the Session parameter to run both of the commands in the same session.
In this case, because both commands run in the same session, the commands succeed, and the $p value remains active
in the $s session for later use.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 --------------------------
C:\PS>$command = { get-eventlog -log "windows powershell" | where {$_.message -like "*certificate*"} }
C:\PS> invoke-command -computername S1, S2 -scriptblock $command
Description
This example shows how to enter a command that is saved in a local variable.
When the entire command is saved in a local variable, you can specify the variable as the value of the ScriptBlock
parameter. You do not have to use the "param" keyword or the ArgumentList variable to submit the value of the local
variable.
The first command saves a Get-Eventlog command in the $command variable. The command is formatted as a script block
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the command in $command on the S1 and S2 remote computers.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -computername server01, server02, TST-0143, localhost -configurationname MySession.PowerShell
-scriptblock {get-eventlog "windows powershell"}
Description
This example demonstrates how to use the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a single command on multiple computers.
The command uses the ComputerName parameter to specify the computers. The computer names are presented in a comma-s
eparated list. The list of computers includes the "localhost" value, which represents the local computer.
The command uses the ConfigurationName parameter to specify an alternate session configuration for Windows PowerShe
ll and the ScriptBlock parameter to specify the command.
In this example, the command in the script block gets the events in the Windows PowerShell event log on each remote
computer.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 7 --------------------------
C:\PS>$version = invoke-command -computername (get-content machines.txt) -scriptblock {(get-host).version}
Description
This command gets the version of the Windows PowerShell host running on 200 remote computers.
Because only one command is run, it is not necessary to create persistent connections (sessions) to each of the com
puters. Instead, the command uses the ComputerName parameter to indicate the computers.
The command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-Host command. It uses dot notation to get the Version prope
rty of the Windows PowerShell host.
To specify the computers, it uses the Get-Content cmdlet to get the contents of the Machine.txt file, a file of com
puter names.
These commands run synchronously (one at a time). When the commands complete, the output of the commands from all o
f the computers is saved in the $version variable. The output includes the name of the computer from which the data
originated.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 8 --------------------------
C:\PS>$s = new-pssession -computername Server01, Server02
C:\PS> invoke-command -session $s -scriptblock {get-eventlog system} -AsJob
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Running True Server01,Server02 get-eventlog system
C:\PS> $j = Get-Job
C:\PS> $j | format-list -property *

ChildJobs : {Job2, Job3}
Output : {}
Error : {}
Progress : {}
Verbose : {}
Debug : {}
Warning : {}
StateChanged :
C:\PS> $results = $j | Receive-Job
Description
These commands run a background job on two remote computers. Because the Invoke-Command command uses the AsJob para
meter, the commands run on the remote computers, but the job actually resides on the local computer and the results
are transmitted to the local computer.
The first command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create sessions on the Server01 and Server02 remote computers.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a background job in each of the sessions. The command uses
the AsJob parameter to run the command as a background job. This command returns a job object that contains two ch
ild job objects, one for each of the jobs run on the two remote computers.
The third command uses a Get-Job command to save the job object in the $j variable.
The fourth command uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the value of the $j variable to the Format-List cmdlet, whi
ch displays all properties of the job object in a list.
The fifth command gets the results of the jobs. It pipes the job object in $j to the Receive-Job cmdlet and stores
the results in the $results variable.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 9 --------------------------
C:\PS>$MWFO-LOg = Microsoft-Windows-Forwarding/Operational
C:\PS> invoke-command -computername server01 -scriptblock {param($log, $num) get-eventlog -logname $log -newest $nu
m} -ArgumentList $MWFO-log, 10
Description
This example shows how to include the values of local variables in a command run on a remote computer.
The first command saves the name of the Microsoft-Windows-Forwarding/Operational event log in the $MWFO-Log variabl
e.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-EventLog command on the Server01 remote computer tha
t gets the 10 newest events from the Microsoft-Windows-Forwarding/Operational event log on Server01.
This command uses the "param" keyword to create two variables, $log and $num, that are used as placeholders in the
Get-EventLog command. These placeholders have arbitrary names that do not need to match the names of the local vari
ables that supply their values.
The values of the ArgumentList parameter demonstrate the two different ways to specify values in the argument list.
The value of the $log placeholder is the $MFWO-Log variable, which is defined in the first command. The value of t
he $num variable is 10.
Before the command is sent to the remote computer, the variables are replaced with the specified values.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 10 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -computername S1, S2 -scriptblock {get-process powershell}
PSComputerName Handles NPM(K) PM(K) WS(K) VM(M) CPU(s) Id ProcessName
S1 575 15 45100 40988 200 4.68 1392 powershell
S2 777 14 35100 30988 150 3.68 67 powershell
C:\PS> invoke-command -computername S1, S2 -scriptblock {get-process powershell} -HideComputerName
Handles NPM(K) PM(K) WS(K) VM(M) CPU(s) Id ProcessName
575 15 45100 40988 200 4.68 1392 powershell
777 14 35100 30988 150 3.68 67 powershell
Description
This example shows the effect of using the HideComputerName parameter of Invoke-Command.
The first two commands use the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-Process command for the PowerShell process. The o
utput of the first command includes the PsComputerName property, which contains the name of the computer on which t
he command ran. The output of the second command, which uses the HideComputerName parameter, does not include the P
sComputerName column.
Using the HideComputerName parameter does not change the object. You can still use the Format cmdlets to display th
e PsComputerName property of any of the affected objects.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 11 --------------------------
C:\PS>invoke-command -comp (get-content servers.txt) -filepath c:\scripts\sample.ps1 -argumentlist Process, Service
Description
This example uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the Sample.ps1 script on all of the computers listed in the Serv
ers.txt file. The command uses the FilePath parameter to specify the script file. This command allows you to run th
e script on the remote computers, even if the script file is not accessible to the remote computers.
When you submit the command, the content of the Sample.ps1 file is copied into a script block and the script block
is run on each of the remote computers. This procedure is equivalent to using the ScriptBlock parameter to submit t
he contents of the script.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 12 --------------------------
C:\PS>$LiveCred = Get-Credential
C:\PS> Invoke-Command -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange `
-ConnectionUri https://ps.exchangelabs.com/powershell `
-Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic `
-scriptblock {Invoke-Command {Set-Mailbox dan -DisplayName "Dan Park"}
Description
This example shows how to run a command on a remote computer that is identified by a URI (Internet address). This p
articular example runs a Set-Mailbox command on a remote Exchange server. The backtick (`) in the command is the Wi
ndows PowerShell continuation character.
The first command uses the Get-Credential cmdlet to store Windows Live ID credentials in the $LiveCred variab the c
redentials dialog box appears, enter Windows Live ID credentials.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Set-Mailbox command. The command uses the ConfigurationN
ame parameter to specify that the command should run in a session that uses the Microsoft.Exchange session configur
ation. The ConnectionURI parameter specifies the URL of the Exchange server endpoint.
The credential parameter specifies tle. Whenhe Windows Live credentials stored in the $LiveCred variable. The Authe
nticationMechanism parameter specifies the use of basic authentication. The ScriptBlock parameter specifies a scrip
t block that contains the command.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 13 --------------------------
C:\PS>$max = New-PSSessionOption -MaximumRedirection 1
C:\PS> Invoke-Command -ConnectionUri https://ps.exchangelabs.com/powershell `
-scriptblock {Invoke-Command {Get-Mailbox dan} `
-AllowRedirection -SessionOption $max
Description
This command shows how to use the AllowRedirection and SessionOption parameters to manage URI redirection in a remo
te command.
The first command uses the New-PSSessionOption cmdlet to create a PSSessionOpption object that it saves in the $max
variable. The command uses the MaximumRedirection parameter to set the MaximumConnectionRedirectionCount property
of the PSSessionOption object to 1.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-Mailbox command on a remote server running Microsoft
Exchange Server. The command uses the AllowRedirection parameter to provide explicit permission to redirect the co
nnection to an alternate endpoint. It also uses the SessionOption parameter to specify the session object in the $m
ax variable.
As a result, if the remote computer specified by the ConnectionURI parameter returns a redirection message, Windows
PowerShell will redirect the connection, but if the new destination returns another redirection message, the redir
ection count value of 1 is exceeded, and Invoke-Command returns a non-terminating error.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 14 --------------------------
C:\PS>$so = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck
PS C:\> invoke-command $s { get-hotfix } -SessionOption $so -credential server01\user01
Description
This example shows how to create and use a SessionOption parameter.
The first command uses the New-PSSessionOption cmdlet to create a session option. It saves the resulting SessionOpt
ion object in the $so parameter.
The second command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-Hotfix command remotely. The value of the SessionOpt
ion parameter is the SessionOption object in the $so variable.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 15 --------------------------
C:\PS>enable-wsmanCredSSP -delegate server02
C:\PS> connect-wsman Server02
C:\PS> set-item wsman:\server02*\service\auth\credSSP -value $true
C:\PS> $s = new-pssession server02
C:\PS> invoke-command -session $s -script {get-item \\Net03\Scripts\LogFiles.ps1} -authentication credssp -credenti
al domain01\admin01
Description
This example shows how to access a network share from within a remote session.
The command requires that CredSSP delegation be enabled in the client settings on the local computer and in the ser
vice settings on the remote computer. To run the commands in this example, you must be a member of the Administrato
rs group on the local computer and the remote computer.
The first command uses the Enable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet to enable CredSSP delegation from the Server01 local computer
to the Server02 remote computer. This configures the CredSSP client setting on the local computer.
The second command uses the Connect-WSman cmdlet to connect to the Server02 computer. This action adds a node for t
he Server02 computer to the WSMan: drive on the local computer, allowing you to view and change the WS-Management s
ettings on the Server02 computer.
The third command uses the Set-Item cmdlet to change the value of the CredSSP item in the Service node of the Serve
r02 computer to True. This action enables CredSSP in the service settings on the remote computer.
The fourth command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a PSSession on the Server02 computer. It saves the PSSes
sion in the $s variable.
The fifth command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Get-Item command in the session in $s that gets a script
from the Net03\Scripts network share. The command uses the Credential parameter and it uses the Authentication para
meter with a value of CredSSP.
I suggest spending som etime learning the basics. It will save you a lot of frustration in the future.

Applescript: How to run a script once upon logon for multiple users

I'm deploying a NetRestore image to about 150 Macs which will be using Active Directory and I've designed a custom default user for each new user. However, our system requires a specialized certificate that has to be installed on the local login.keychain for each user otherwise network connectivity is impacted.
I've tried to use the security command through Terminal to install the certificate, but no matter what combination of commands, I cannot seem to get that to work properly even with an already-created user. While it will often say it's installed, the cert will not actually show up in the login keychain in Keychain Access. And the network connectivity is still impacted.
So instead, I created a brief AppleScript that just gives the user brief instructions to click "Add" on the prompt for which Keychain to add the cert and then "Always Trust" for the "This cert is not verified" prompt. Then it launches Keychain Access. Originally, I was going to have it actually click the buttons for the user, but I realized trying to get the whole Accessibility apps and assitive devices to work on every new user would be a nightmare.
I created the script on another 10.9 Mac using Automator to make it an actual application. I've used the instructions in OS X: Using AppleScript with Accessibility and Security features in Mavericks to sign it and I'm using root to move it from its network location into the Applications folder. I've adjusted the permissions to allow all Admin users to r/w (along with everyone else). To the root user, it shows as a usable application, but every other user on the Mac sees it as damaged/incomplete.
What I want to do is add it to the default Login Items, so I can run the final AppleScript command to simply remove the login items listing. That way I don't need to worry about it running again, but it's still available for the next user to sign onto the deployed Mac.
I know it's a little convoluted, but this is the final piece to the NetRestore deployment I've been working on for months. Any suggestions on how to make this work (or even a completely different solution) would be greatly appreciated.
Here was the original shell script in case you're curious.
#!/bin/bash
## Prompt for current user admin for use in Certificate Install
while :; do # Loop until valid input is entered or Cancel is pressed.
    localpass=$(osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Enter your password for Lync Setup:" default answer "" with hidden answer' -e 'text returned of result' 2>/dev/null)
    if (( $? )); then exit 1; fi # Abort, if user pressed Cancel.
    localpass=$(echo -n "$localpass" | sed 's/^ *//' | sed 's/ *$//') # Trim leading and trailing whitespace.
    if [[ -z "$localpass" ]]; then
        # The user left the password field blank.
        osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display alert "You must enter the local user password; please try again." as warning' >/dev/null
        # Continue loop to prompt again.
    else
        # Valid input: exit loop and continue.
        break
    fi
done
echo $localpass | sudo security import /'StartupFiles'/bn-virtual.crt ~/Library/Keychain/login.keychain
osascript -e 'tell Application "System Events" to delete every login item whose name is "LyncCert"
And this is the AppleScript itself. (I used the \ to make it easier to read. The first line is actually one complete command)
display dialog "Click OK to start installing Mac Network Certificate." & return & return & \
"In the following prompts, click the 'Add' then 'Always Trust'." & return & return & \
After you have clicked 'Always Trust', quit Keychain Access." default button 1 with title \
"Mac Network Certificate Install"
activate application "Keychain Access"
tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/StartupFiles/bn-virtualcar.crt"
tell application "System Events" to delete login item "Lync-AppleScript"
end
Thank you for your help!

I have run into this same issue. Are you trying to run the script one time as a new user logs in or everytime a user logs in?

How to Run 2 Scripts simultaneously:PlayQuicktimeMovieWhileSpeechRecognitio

Basicallly i want to make an interactive game using QT movies and Speechrecognition to control what happens, loading different video clips, changing the speed of the movie while it's playing, playing sounds according to what happens.
So i don't know if i need 2 or 3 scripts runing simultaneously.
But anyways, how would you do it?
Do you need to have one parent script? And if so, how would you do it.. how do you run child scripts within the parent script
This is my basic idea , will it work:
PARENT SCRIPT
-Set GameALIVE to true
Repeat while GameALIVE is true
run GAMESPEECHRECOGNITIONScriptTHat just listens for commands
run Script that plays and controls QT Movies based on what the GAMESPEECHRECOGNITION script gets as input
end true
END PARENT SCRIPT
That's my idea but i have no clue how to do it

I've been waiting for a dualhead2go DP edition too. Arrived today. Just playing with it.
I'd hand on for the Dualhead2Go, that is if you haven't got it already. It's a really nice bit of kit. I'm currently running an inbuilt display and two samsung T260 with resolutions of 1920 by 1200 each as well as the inbuilt display. I haven't yet tried switching to the lower spec graphics card in my MBP but with this one it is working beautifully. I can't imagine a USB external graphics card being anywhere near as good.

[solved] How to run a script on logout?

I've just migrated from ubuntu and so far I'm really happy with Arch. GNU/Linux really is easier to 'get' with Arch. I've been able to overcome all problems so far with reading previous posts or searching for it by other means, yet this obviously elementary broblem still defies solution.
- How do I run a script on logout?
What I want to do on logout is to run 'fusermount -u ~/mounted-dir/', where 'mounted-dir' holds media from my account on another host. I have it set up so that /etc/profile runs ~/.login which in turn runs 'sshfs [email protected]:~/media/ ~/mounted-dir/ -o sshfs_sync -o reconnect'.
- Is this a reasonable way of Getting Things Done?
I suspect (as I always do) that there might be a way these things are supposed to be done, this not being it.

Hello,
welcome to the forum.
SQL Developer is not a tool that can be automated. When you need to execute a script automatically, then you have several options.
- Execute the script via SQL*PLUS, scheduled from OS
- Use the db scheduler to execute a procedure
- Call a OS script from a db job.
For further information about these options go to {forum:id=193}, {forum:id=144} or {forum:id=75}.

How to run a script from Oracle Form (Beside using HOST command)

I would like to run a script from Forms 6.0. I know that we can actually issue this command :
host('plus80.exe' username/password@connect_string @c:\scriptname);
BUT, is there any other alternative ?

Sqlplus is a different program, so one way or the other you have to leave Forms to run sqlplus. What is you objection against HOST?
You can also run sqlplus from the database, but again you need a stored java procedure to call sqlplus (sort of HOST command that runs in the database).
Francois' solution works if your script just has a query to run, but if you have specific sqlplus commands (spool etc.) forms_ddl is probably not a solution.

How to run multiple scripts in sql*plus?

I would like to run 2 scripts in sql*plus, how do I do this? I tried the following, but it won't run.
create table student_new
AS
select *
from student
insert into student_new
(last_name, first_name
values
(Crop, Jenny)
The above are the two scripts I want to run, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks

Do you have a solution to run multiple scripts continuosly, one after the other as one script.
Say I have file1.sql file2.sql, file3.sql.
I want to create a script run.sql, where this will run file1.sql,file2.sql,file3.sql one after other without any one running one after the other like follows:
run.sql should have
begin
@file1.sql
@file2.sql
@file3.sql
dbms_output.put_line(select sysdate from dual);
end;
If I run run.sql all the three scripts should be executed successfully and then display the current time . All these files have update statements(50,000 updates each file).
Very urgetn. Can some one hlpe, please.
Thanks in advance.

How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

Hi Friends,
I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
Waiting for your valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hello Bhasakar,
1.Create sysdate object in the universe
2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
So your report always will run for sysdate...

How to Run a Report automatically in Background for every night

Hi,
How to run a report program in Background automatically for every nigh.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
Or
Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Madhur
