How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

Hello.
My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype. If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory. On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running. If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.
Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
Any ideas?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
nedson :?:

Thats what I thought...
What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory. Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) . After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux). How can I call it out of memory? I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login. I just simply want to call it from the background...
Any ideas?

Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

How to start iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant on Command Line?

I have almost successfully installed oralce 10gR2 in opensolaris 5.11, In the final stage, Among the three Configuration Assistants:
the Net Configuration Assistant and Database Configuration Assistant have completed successfully, but OUI hang in the iSQL*Plus Configuration Assistant.
No response after a very long time.
Could anybody tell me how to manually start iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant on Command Line?
Thanks a lot !
Edited by: user11970554 on 2009-10-5 上午9:21

Thanks.
Anyhow, I found an easier way to do this:
1)Just run installer again to start the OUI:
#./runInstaller
2)Choose "Custom" installation option
3)check the box at "iSQL*Plus" for reinstall
4)The OUI will first deinstall iSQL*Plus, and then reinstall it, and will automatically start "iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant".
This procedure applies to any component of oracle which failed at first time installation.

Can I change my default boot order to netboot from the mac mini command line?

I'd like to change my boot order on the mac mini to netboot first. I need to do this from the command line so that I can automate this change to a bunch of mac minis. Is there a way to do this? The only way I have found to netboot is through pressing command N. Thanks

Any of these help...

How do I remove the background from a movie / sound problems

Apologies, not really sure what I’m doing…
How do I remove the background from a movie I made?
I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever
reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.
The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border
making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but
can’t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller)
and not the background?
I can get round it by changing the background colour, but
surely there must be another way.
Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering
sound, any idea what could cause that?
Thanks, and Thanks!

I saw Corey Barker do a demo where he extracted an image from the background, then cleaned up the edge with a process that allowed him to de-fringe it. I can't remember how he did it. And I can't find it. Help!

I saw Corey Barker do a demo a few weeks ago where he extracted an image from the background, then used a technique I was not familiar with to clean it up. You selected the area, then did something that involved going either to edit or select, then there was a dialog box that allowed you to dial it in, depending on the color background you were removing. I can't find this anywhere. Can't remember. It's driving me crazy! If someone can help me find this, I would be very glad and grateful. Thanks! Laura

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

How do I recover a background after accidentally deleting it from the background catalog

How do I recover a background after accidentally deleting it from the background catalog

Close Photoshop Elements Editor and Organizer.
Navigate to: 　
//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/11.0/Locale/en_US/
Delete the file Mediadatabase.db3.
Re-launch Photoshop Elements Editor. A progress bar appears as the media database is re-created. Wait for this process to complete. It make take some time and the screen may periodically go blank; so go away and get yourself a coffee and be patient.
N.B. If you have any of your own custom effects, you may need to re-create/re-install them.

Generally, using a different program than Lightroom, e.g. Photoshop.
Note: you can remove objects in Lightroom by stringing dust-spot removal bubbles across them, but that may or may not be preferrable. If you do go that route, it may be essential to position strategically *after* initial placement.

How do you remove the background from an image

how do you remove the background from an image thathas a white background?

First, change the background layer to a normal layer if needed, by dragging the padlock to the trash can.
Then use the quick selection tool or magic wand tool to select your background.
Now you can either delete the background, or click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square. This icon will convert the selection to a mask.
The advantage of the mask is, it is non-destructible. In that you can change your mind at any time. Whereas deleting pixels is permanent once you close the file and there is no duplicate files. (A way around this is to make a duplicate layer and hide it. But that does make the file larger.)

The display on my MacBook Pro from 2007 finally gave out, how do I transfer all the data from the old one onto my new one?

A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?

FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value. You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

How do I remove a white background from a photo of a watercolour painting.

How do I remove a white background from an image of a botanical watercolour painting?

Is the logo in a pixel layer surrounded by white?
You could make it a layer if it isn't already, then use the Layer Style dialog and set the Blend If parameter so that it will make light colors transparent...
You can composite it into a web page with transparency by saving it as a PNG file, as JJMack has noted.

How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac.

How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac. Besides these paymentprograms. And I have no previous backup that I can get it from.

This is amazing! Pick out everything I need from the iPhone. Just what I've been looking for a long time, but did not find anything I liked. So started to see if I could pick out one and one thing ... Definitely worth the money. Thank you Julian!
PS. I fully support the payment thing, but theres allot of legal free programs aswell, so just wondered =)
