ID CS5 on Mac 10.5.8 can't run java scripts from User folder

I seem to have a problem with my java scripts in ID on my Mac. I store them in my user scripts folder, but while I can run any applescripts in the folder, doubleclicking on any of the java scripts gets me exactly nothing. If I open the scripts in Extend Script Toolkit and run them from there, they will work, but I can't run them from within ID. The scripts in the Sample Script folder work. I've tried changing the script extentions, I've opened them in the toolkit and resaved them. Still no response at all when I doubleclick on them in the scripts panel. Any idea what could be wrong? I can run the same scripts from within ID on my Windows laptop, so I don't think the scripts themselves are at fault. In fact, I just moved them into the Sample scripts folder, and they run with no problem. Does the User script folder just not work?

Not sure what a screenshot will tell you, but here you go.
Well, I was hoping that the icon next to the scripts would be instructive.
Apparently not, though!
You said the same scripts work fine if you move them into the Application Scripts folder, specifically the Sample Scripts folder. I assume, then, that the sample scripts also break if moved to the User Scripts folder?
Is your User Scripts folder (and thus your home directory) on a non-local (network) filesystem? Are the permissions on it wacky? If you Reveal In Finder it, and Get Info, do you see anything out of the ordinary?
What if you delete it (err, move it aside) and recreate it?
This seems pretty strange...

  • How can i run unix script from my apex page

    how can i run unix script from my apex page and take the output of unix script as a hidden variable and display it on the report region of that page

    I had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
    1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
    Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
    2. In Apex,
    a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
    b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
    shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
    and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
    It works like a charm.
    Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

  • Indesign CS 5.5 can't find fonts (..from User Folder, OSX 10.6.8)

    Hello there,
    Indesign CS5 can't find any font that is located in my User folder. (MacintoshHD > User > library > fonts).
    The problem is only in OSX 10.6.x and CS 5.
    Also installed CS3 has no problems to find the already installed fonts.
    And on a second Hardrive I've also System 10.5.x. INDESIGN both Versions have no problems to find the fonts in that system.
    Only the Combination from CS5 and OSX 10.6.x has that problem.
    Some Tricks already posted here, for example to put the missing fonts in the main structure  (MacintoshHD > library > fonts) works,
    also if creating a special »Document Fonts« file in the same folder, whre the problem documents are located.
    BUT: This is all just a temporary solution. It doesn't solve the main problem.
    Maybe it's, because the 10.6.x ist a upgrade from a 10.5.x TimeMashine Backup with the CreativeSuite already installed.
    So maybe I should install all the CS5 stuff new?
    Or is it a problem with the Login Structure?  I'm the only person working on my machine. So I'm logged with full Name and as »admin«.
    My User-Folder with my special preferences and fonts is named with another name (my nickname).
    I'm not such a Computerfreak…and don't know if that does means anything. No problems at all with that since years.
    Thanks for any good idea

    Message was edited by: camino07  Hi, Now, I've uninstalled CS5, delete fontcaches, restart computer an install CS5 complete again.
    But it's still the same. CS5 can't find the fonts. One special thing I have to add: One font, placed in the »Users > fontfolder, it finds the »regular « font style but not the »bold«.
    It's an »TT« font suitcase. (EngraversOldEnglish).
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I added here my spotlight results. Shell I really delete all the stuff?
    Seems, that are different sources, like fonts and some other stuff…
    thanks

  • Can we run java bean from forms client server??

    Hi,
    The OLTP application we are planning to build has lot of gui e.g
    tabs, drag and drop etc. Our aim is to make it web enabled but
    the network bandwidth available is small 16 - 64K . So even
    thoughwe plan toi use applet , we seriuosly doubt how good it
    will perform on such low network bandwidth. [The system will
    have 100 users]
    Q1. What will be a reasonable bandwidth to run an oltp
    application (say maintenance )
    Hence we are thinking of developing with developer 6i and
    deploying our application in client server mode, which can
    easily be web enabled in future. But we also have to integrate
    visual interfaces like gantt chart, which are not available with
    forms. We plan to use third party java component (e.g ILOG
    jviews), so that in future we can easily web enable the entire
    application.
    Q2. Can we run forms with java bean in client server mode? If
    not, what are the products to be installed on each machine to
    run it without using 9ias?
    best regards

    Yes. We can run sql loader from client machine.

  • Launchd - can it run a script when users log in OR switch?

    I'm hoping to find someone who knows all the gory details of launchd. Here's the why and what: I'm trying to coerce Aperture into letting two users on the same computer share the same Aperture Library, both able to import photos and see and use what the other has done. Initially it is no problem, change the permissions so everyone has read/write/execute, put the Library in a common area, and point both person's Aperture at it. The problem is that Aperture changes permissions of things inside the Library as you use it, and especially when one person imports, the other person can't see that stuff.
    So I want to run a script whenever someone logs in or becomes the active user by fast user switching; the script will simply change ownership and permissions of the library and everything in it to restore full access.
    After days of research and testing, I made a test launchd plist file (this is the configuration file or agent that launchd looks at and runs your script when criteria are met). It sits in /Library/LaunchAgents/, here it is:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.jim.test</string>
    <key>LimitLoadToSessionType</key>
    <string>LoginWindow</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/Library/Scripts/testscript.sh</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/Users/jim/Desktop/test.err</string>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/Users/jim/Desktop/test.out</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    The actual test script is sitting in /Library/Scripts/:
    #!/bin/bash
    echo "org.jim.test.plist was run at `date`"
    So if the plist is loaded and the script run, the date and time are written in the test.out file on my desktop. This thing runs great when a user logs in. The problem is, it doesn't run when users switch by fast user switching. In reading the documentation, it was vague about this, whether that could be done; I thought it could.
    Can anyone help with a way to get the script to run when any user takes control by any means? As an added complication, which I'll worry about later, the script has to run as root because it's the only way to get the ownership and permissions changed.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    BobHarris is the MAN. ACLs seem to have worked. I put the Aperture Library in /Users/Shared/ApertureLibrary, restored the regular permissions as best I could (me as owner, staff as group, 755), pointed each person's Aperture to the library, then proceeded with the ACL magic. First I created a group for my wife and I, called 'aperture', in the Accounts preference pane. That was to simplify the ACLs (one entry instead of 2) and so that other users (son) aren't able to muck it up.
    It took one stinking Terminal command (note that 'aperture' at the beginning of the quote is the group, not the program, folder or library):
    chmod -R +a "aperture allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" ApertureLibrary.aplibrary
    I was unsure whether this list of permissions was necessary or sufficient, but it seems to have worked so far. Both users can access the library. I imported a different picture by each user, and the other user could then see and delete the picture imported by the other. This was not possible before.
    Bob, thanks for the great idea. After a little more testing I'll post a complete how-to in the latest "how do we share Aperture" thread, and give you due credit. The bad news is all the launchd fun is over

  • Can "Planners" run calc script from the Planning web?

    This is probably a really naive question.
    However, can planners run a simple calc script(created in Essbase/AAS) from Workspace/Planning Web? If so what access would they be need to setup in Shared Service?
    Or do we have to convert the calc script into a Business Rule and then grant access to the users?

    John,
    Here are the roles that i assigned my user and he can view/launch the calc scripts from Planning Web without actually being an admin( i think)
    Analytic Servers : server access
    Business Rules: Administrator
    Planning App : Interactive User
    APS : Provisioning Manager
    I would also like to conver the calc script to a BR as suggested, but not sure why i see no users available in the Business Rules-> administration tab.
    As indicated above, the use has been provisioned as a BR admin!
    Also, i tried refreshing the app with filters, refreshing the user list from BR->admin(right mouse), de-provision and re-provision the user! Any ideas??

  • How can I run a script from path?

    Hi all
    How can a illustrator script be run from a path by double clicking the script file not from illustrator menu->scripts.
    thanks in advance
    THAMIL

    You can modify the script to use COM.  For example, when the script is run in AI, there is an assumed application object - you can just use the members of the Application object without having an explicit Application variable.  To do this in a standalone javascript, create a Illustrator.Application object:
    var app = new ActiveXObject("Illustrator.Application");
    var activeDoc = app.activeDocument;
    You would do something similar for any object that would otherwise need to be created with new.  You can get a list in the the registry - HKCR\Illustrator.*
    Note that .length and collection[i] don't work when you do this.  Use .count instead of .length.  You need to use Enumerators:
    var textEnum = new Enumerator(doc.textFrames);
    for (; !textEnum.atEnd(); textEnum.moveNext()) {
        var txt = textEnum.item();
        txt.contents = "text";
    You also have to use WScript.Echo() instead of alert().

    also make sure that you current directory is in your classpath.
    eg
    export CLASSPATH=".:$CLASSPATH"
    java Test
    your issue is more likely to be classpath related, as java doesn't read the path variable, and the java executable is found

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.
