How to run commands upon system boot as user?

How can I as a user run commands upon system boot? In Vixie's cron, one can use the @reboot syntax in a crontab, and the job is ran every time the cron daemon starts. Arch however, uses Dillon's cron which seems not support this feature.

bwalk wrote:Hmm, does not work, because root owns init, so everything requires root. stb's version is valid, the -s parameter drops privileges to <USER>, spawns a shell and executes <COMMAND>. So, no security problem whatsoever.
So there is nothing like @reboot in vixiecron?

How to Run the NEW "System Info Command" in Tiger ?????

I am new to Applescript and was wondering if someone could help me on how to run the new "System Info Command"?
Thanks!!!

The "system info" command that red_menace uses above is the new system info command that's mentioned on the web page you referenced. However, red's example only displays the "long user name" and the "AppleScript version" in the dialog.
The entire system info record actually contains all of these items, each of which you can access just like red_menace shows you in his example:
AppleScript version
AppleScript Studio version
system version
short user name
long user name
user ID
user locale
home directory
boot volume
computer name
host name
IPv4 address
primary Ethernet address
CPU type
CPU speed
physical memory
Steve
PS - if you switch Script Editor over so the bottom pane displays the "Event Log" you'll see the entire system info record displayed in the log when you run red_menace's script.

Unable to automatically run KDM at system boot

I've done fresh system install on my desktop and now KDM doesn't starts at boot. But when I run it in console manually via "sudo systemctl restart kdm" it starts flawlessly. There are no any useful information in logs. The Xorg.0.log contains only message, that nvidia module initialization failed.

Jay,
Your question isn't very clear, hence Joerg's well meaning but irrelevant advise.
Do you mean:
I've written a simple program in java which echos
it's command-line arguments to back to the console.
Here's my code:
package forums;
public class ArgsEchoer
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String arg : args) {
System.out.println(arg);
But can't figure out how to compile and run the program.
I'm using winblows shista, and it's cr@p.
Please help me, Thanks in advance.So... where are you at? Have you installed the JDK (java development kit)? Which version? Is your path set? Is your classpath set?

How to run commands like "ipconfig" and get the output in adobe AIR in windows?

import flash.desktop.NativeProcess;
import flash.desktop.NativeProcessStartupInfo;
if (NativeProcess.isSupported) {
     var npsi:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
     var processpath:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("MyApplication.whatever");
     var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
     npsi.executable = processpath;
     process.start(npsi);
The above can only run a sub-application, but how to run an independent application(command) like ipconfig and get the result?

Hi,
here is an example of running a net Use command line from AIR, unig the new NativeProcess. Hope it will help !
function launchProcess()
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory;

file = file.resolvePath("C:/Windows/system32/net.exe");
var nativeProcessStartupInfo = new air.NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
// prepare command parameters
var args = new runtime.Vector["<String>"]();
args.push('USE');
args.push('W:');
args.push('/delete');
args.push('/y');
// set arguments
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
// add listeners to catch command outputs
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, onErrorData);
process.addEventListener(air.NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExit);
// create and run Native process
process = new air.NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
function onOutputData(ProgressEvent)
var processResults = process.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(process.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
air.trace("Results: \n" + processResults);

Can ACS run commands at logon for specific users?

I have a scenario where I'd like a command run at the time a user logs into the device. Can ACS do this on behalf of the user during the logon process?

Sure. Bigip LTM, once authenticated, drops users into what is called a TMSH shell. This breaks rancid since rancid expects to be in a bash shell.
You can access bash from TMSH via a command(run util bash). I'd like ACS to pass this command and run it the moment the rancid user logs in. That way subsoquent commands from rancid will work since he will at that point be at a bash prompt.
Basically a logon script that runs commands for the user at the time the user logs in.

How we run command line commands in oracle

In sql server i have an option "xp_cmdshell" i can run windows commands e.g "dir " using query analyzer.
How can i do same thing in oracle
Thanks in advance.

> MY SELECT:select OSexec('dir') as STDOUT from dual;
ERROR:-1command[dir] The handle is invalid.
In the sample code, I've executed a Linux/Unix program called date, physical file /usr/bin/date.
Is there a DATE.EXE or a DIR.EXE program that you can execute on Windows?
No. Both DATE and DIR are commands of a program - a 32bit console program called CMD.EXE.
Your confusion stems from thinking that OSEXEC is calling the Windows shell command line. It is not. It is not calling CMD.EXE and passing Window Shell Commands to CMD.EXE.
OSEXEC is calling, via Java, the Win32 API call called CreateProcess(). This is a call to the Win32 kernel. It requests the kernel to load an executable program as a process image.
The kernel expects an EXE (or executable) file to load. You are passing it a command from a program. You just as well can pass it a Java command, a MS Access Basic Command, an Excel Macro, etc... Same thing. The kernel has no idea that this "command" needs another program to be loaded, and that command be "passed" somehow to that program.
So, you need to call CMD.EXE via OSEXEC. And you can pass parameters to it. Open a Command Console and type cmd /? for help on the command line switches and parameters for CMD.EXE.
I believe the following should work:
SQL> select OSEXEC( 'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c date /t') from dual;
