How to spawn processes via ampersand within bashrc startup script

How to properly "enclose" or handle the special character (& - the background character) within the bash shell's .bashrc startup file?
It does not work for these 2 examples (\& and &):
alias abc='emacs $* \&'
alias xyz='emacs $* &'
Please advise. Thanks.

Actually the problem is that the $* (or $@) is expanded when the alias is created  and of course at creation time the $* is empty.
So it's not really so much
emacs & $*
as
emacs & filename
But  either way you are correct that to pass a command line arg in a case like this you need to use a function.
But the fact still remains that the standard OS X emacs will block waiting for a terminal if started in the bg.

  • How to pass process flow input parameter to unix script external process

    Hi,
    I'm trying to pass a process flow input paramter (string) to an external process which is a unix script. I've been working on this for the last 2 days but can't get it to work. Here is the design. I have a process flow with 3 maps that create a file in the unix file system. I have a suffix, which is an input parameter to the process flow, that will need to be passed to the unix script to rename the file appending the suffix to the filename. I've tried different things and nothing works for me. Has anyone done something similar in OWB?
    Thanks much!

    Using the SAXParser in JAXP the parsing of the XML file is event driven.
    Instantiate the parser:
    SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
    InputSource is = new InputSource(new FileReader(theXML));call the parse method:
    parser.parse(is, this);The following events are fired as the parser works through the XML public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
    public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName) throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
    characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)etc.
    You write what you want within each of these sections to handle the structure of your data. Keep in mind SAX is useful only when you know the structure of your XML.

    What am I doing wrong, and/or what can I do to fix this?

    Maybe I got something wrong here but didn't sspitfire write that dhcpcd only works when starting it manually after it failed at startup? What exactly is "noip4all" supposed to do, I'm asking because it didn't work for me.  I tried "noip4ll" like written in dhcpcds manpage without any effort .  "noarp" and "waitip" also had no positive effect. Maybe I leave dhcpcd in the rc.local even if it's a bit of a dirty solution. ("noarp" and "waitip" I gathered from the dhcpcd  manpage).

  • How to invoke BPEL process via HTTP POST (or GET)

    Hi,

  • How to send EOF to spawned process....

    Folks,
    On Linux, the list of disks can be obtained as follows:
    # format < /dev/null
    Without redirecting /dev/null to its input, command "format" requires you to enter a value or CTRL-C.
    I am trying to run format as a process within my Java code:
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(args)
    Process p = pb.start();
    OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
    os.close(); // Hopefully, sends EOF
    p.waitFor();
    As you can see, I am closing the input to the process, hoping that this will send an EOF to the process. However, the output that I get is erratic. Sometimes, I see the output and sometimes I don't.
    My guess is that either I am not doing the right thing or may be I am closing the stream even before any processing is done.
    I would appreciate your help in understanding what needs to be done to simulate redirecting /dev/null to the process.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Peter

    Thank you baptos and EJP.
    I tried to show only the relevant code snippet earlier. I am also processing the other two streams using StreamGobbler class. Here are more details:
    ProecessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(args);
    Process p = pb.start();
    if (simulateDevNull == true) {
    OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
    os.close();
    stdOut = new StreamGobbler(p.getInputStream());
    stdErr = new StreamGobbler(p.getrrorStream());
    stdOut.start();
    stdErr.start();
    p.waitFor();
    Class StreamGobbler is a thread based class that can be used to process the output and the error from the spawned process in a separate thread. You can find many references to StreamGobbler class on the net.

    Peter

    Issue:
    On a vanilla installation, the sandboxed code service (e.g. SPUCHostService.exe) is started; however, SPUCWorkerProcessProxy.exe and subsequently SPUCWorkerProcess.exe fails to start.
    Resolution/Workarounds attempted:
    Attempted 2 different Load balancing settings – local and remote (i.e. affinity)
    Ensured local computer policy on server for ‘RPC Endpoint Mapper Client Authentication’ and ‘Restrictions for Unauthenticated RPC clients’ is disabled.
    Ensured following key in registry is set properly - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\RPC
    Attempted to bypass SharePoint’s check for certificate revocations at crl.microsoft.com
    Ensured the service account is added to the respective groups (e.g. Performance Log Users, Performance Monitor Users, IIS_IUSRS, WSS_ADMIN_WPG, WSS_WPG)
    Increased limit of ‘AbnormalProcessTerminationCount’ of SPUserCodeService via Powershell

    Hi ,
    For resolving your issue , you can do as the followings:
    1. Logged into the Web Server with the Timer Service Account.
    2. Ran the powershell command to check the SID of the account running the spucworkerprocessproxy.exe:  
    $(Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity "THE SERVICE ACCOUNT").Sid.Value
    3. Checked the registry :
    HKEY_USERS\[SID OF THE SERVICE ACCOUNT]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing\State
    4. Changed the value 0x00023c00 to 0x00023e00

  • How To Call a Broadcasting Template within an ABAP program

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to call the Broadcast template via an ABAP program so it will execute?  The scenario that I have is we are doing validations via BW.  We put the data (for conversion reasons) through validation rules and then load a data target.  From this, there are 2 situations that could occur:
    1) There are errors
    2) There are not any errors
    If #1 is true, then I would like to execute the Query Broadcasting Template that I have created.  If #2 is true, then I would like to execute another process via the ABAP program.  In the past, I was successful using exception reporting via reporting agent, since I was able to call that program but the report did not look good at all.  Please let me know if there is a program that I could call in order to execute this broadcast that I have set up.
    Best Regards,
    Tim

    Hello,
    although this is an old threat, but do you have any hints on how to dynamically change the template when broadcasting?
    kind regards

    How to find process chain using background job in sm37

    Better is to select the job.

  • User is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP as it tries to send an email to a user who have left the company

    Hi Experts,
    I need to remove a name on a group list in Outlook as the user is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP (He sends the invoice for approval and emails get sent to different users for approval.) One of those users has left the company and so the user gets a email delivery failure error.
    How do I remove this user who is no longer with the company?
    The user is saying: When I approve an invoice in SAP it sends an email notification through outlook. One of those users is no longer with the company so it cannot deliver the notification, and in return send a delivery failure (in outlook). I am approving the invoices from my SAP Workplace inbox.
    How do we know what group the email is going to?
    Please let me know if you have seen this issue before. Greatly appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Asad

    Hi,
    Please check whether you are using a custom z program for sending emails of approved invoices to users. If yes then either the user email ids are hardcoded in the program else a ztable is maintained for them.

    Hi
    have a look at this
    You can use Java/ABAP proxies to do this job for you..
    Java Proxy >> will read the mail(with the attachments) with the help of Java APIs and send the message into XI ABAP Proxy >> for this you will have to first convert the attachment into a message and then you can proceed in the regular fashion.
    Not all adapters can process attachments, I'm not sure why you are having trouble with using module processor in the mail adapter. Just check if the service pack that you are using supports this feature.
    If you are on WAS 6.10 and above you can achieve this and there is an excellent weblog by Thomas Jung on this topic at
    /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6d967fbc-0a01-0010-4fb4-91c6d38c5816
    reading Pdf Through mail easly done with Java Proxy, which will read the mail(with the attachments) with Java APIs and send the message into XI and then map with the Target ABAP proxy structure .
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to trigger batch process via Applescript or Javascript?

    Based on what I've found so far on the internet, the answer is no. The Applescripts I've found so far that attempt to run a batch process don't work for me in either Acrobat Pro 8 or Pro 9.
    I've been using Applescript to automate a process that starts in InDesign (create PDFs), then goes to Acrobat to set open options (I've got a batch process for that but can't find a way to trigger it). If I can get that to work, I'll attempt to automate the task of using a Photoshop droplet to create JPEGs of a specific size from these PDFs.
    I've settled on InDesign CS3 for creating single-page PDFs from a multiple-page document, partly because I could not find a scriptable way to do this in Acrobat. I know just enough about Applescript to be dangerous. I know much less about Javascript.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kevin Stauffer

    and something like this to perform JavaScript from within AppleScript for Acrobat
    You would be better talking to the JavaScript Experts on how to use addScript() to get your doc level scripts in.
    property Default_Path : (path to desktop folder as Unicode text) as alias
    property JavaScript : "var re = /.*\\/|\\.pdf$/ig; var filename = this.path.replace(re,''); try { for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) this.extractPages( { nStart: i, cPath: filename+'_' + (i+1) +'.pdf' }); } catch (e) { console.println('Aborted: '+e) }" as text
    set The_PDF to choose file default location Default_Path ¬
    with prompt "Where is the multi-page PDF?" without invisibles
    tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
    activate
    open The_PDF
    tell active doc
    do script JavaScript
    close saving yes
    end tell
