In Ubuntu the command, "$ thunderbird -offline" starts thunderbird in online mode.

I want to be able to start "Thunderbird" in offline mode to use the "Lightning" calandar add-on. Several online sources say to use the command "$ thunderbird -offline", but that doesn't work. That command starts thunderbird in online mode. "$ thunderbird --offline" also doesn't work.
Ubuntu 13.10
Thunderbird 24.3.0

There is an example here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Linux
replace ProfileManager with offline.
There is also a setting in AppMenu/Preferences/Preferences/Advanced/Network & Disk Space/Offline to have TB ask you for the state at startup.

How to pass in variables using the command line when starting ActionScript native app

How do I pass in variables or startup arguments using the command line when starting an ActionScript native app? For example, I have my app call MySweetWidget and it has been compiled with Adobe AIR captive runtime so now I have MySweetWidget.exe.
In the command line, I am calling MySweetWidget.exe and would like to pass in variables or properties to the application. I would assume that those variables are then read from the loaderInfo.parameters object.
Please let me know if the Adobe AIR runtime supports passing in parameters to the native runtime. If so, I would like help determining the correct format of how to pass in the variables. Then would you read those from the loaderinfo.parameters object?
Thanks,
Jeff

I found the answer to my own question:
Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

How to start wlst in online mode

I'm a first time user of 'wlst' ;-)
I installed the WebLogic Server 9.1 on the HP-UX PA-RISC platform and is running in a production environment.
I can start 'wlst' offline on HP-UX but don't know how to switch back to the online mode.
I'd like to find out if 'wlst' online mode is supported on HP-UX. If it supports on HP-UX, can someone let me know how to start 'wlst' in online mode?
Thanks!
Pearl

When you first invoke WLST, by default you are in "offline" mode. Once you are connected to a server you will be in "online" mode.

Changing the dimension hierarchy level keys in RPD online mode caused issue

Hi,
We tried to correct the dimension hierarchy level keys and remove prefered drill path settings in the business model layer in RPD in online mode. However this caused all the reports and dashboards based off of this subject area to show incorrect, and/or restricted data. The physical query generated by the answers requests were also incorrect.
Even restarting the server and presentation services could not resolve the issue. Can someone please help us to understand what could have caused this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am not sure why the existing reports throw an error when I change the RPD dimension hierarchy level keys. Does anyone know how I resolve this issue.
This is urgent. Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Configuration attributes on the command line

I use in a command line -Dweblogic.configurl="t3://localhost:7001" when I
start the weblogic.
configurl is my own attribute.
How I can get the attribute value "t3://localhost:7001" inside the Bean.
I tried System.getParameter("configurl") but it doesen't work.
-Jussi

I beleive -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<mydirname> will do the trick.

Run a jar on Windows without the command window

I would like to run a jar and close the command window after starting up. Is this possible please.

I would like to run a jar and close the command window after starting up. Is this possible please.why do you want to do that? jar files are executable files so when you double click it, it will execute without having to run it from the command prompt. So, you don't have to even open the cmd prompt to run .jar files.

Your site recommended that I start Firefox in "safe mode," but despite following the steps, I could not do so, why?

I have used Firefox as my browser for more than seven years, maybe ten.
After the two recent "updates" over the last six weeks or two months, Firefox has been horrible.
It constantly hangs and crashes, cannot access certain basic website, slows start-up, use, and shutdown, and, according to AVG, is using massive memory. Two weeks ago, AVG actually came out and directly recommended that Firefox be completely disabled.
I tried the Firefox recommendation to reset Firefox to default settings. It didn't work.
I tried the Firefox recommendation to start Firefox in "safe mode." But despite following their instructions as to how to do so, I could not start Firefox in safe mode; it just bounced back to the recommendation page.
It seems that Firefox has destroyed itself, and made itself completely unusable as a browser.
At this point, I see little alternative to removing Firefox completely from my computer and changing to Internet Explorer as my browser.
Has anyone had a similar experience, and similar problems, or does anyone have any ideas as to how I can try to salvage Firefox and restore it as a usable browser? Thanks to all who have any comments or ideas.

Please update to the current Firefox 33.1.1 release.

My MB is always starting up in safe mode... why? What to do to start-up normally? Please help.

Hi,
I am frequently having troubles with my MB. Different types of troubles. Couldn't solve a single one yet.
I have performed reboot MB in safe mode-- hold down the left shift key after the start up tone till the spinning gear appeared.
Few hours back i performed that, and since then it just starting up in safe mode without holding the any shift key. I have password protected log-in and each time the dialog box shown the safe mode, not the normal boot as it used to be. I restarted so many times, but same result.
I started-up by holding down the Option key, dialog box showing the same thing "safe mode" and same result.
I started-up in single user mode, and then typed reboot, then pressed enter/return button, but dialog box shown the same and it started up in safe mode after entering the password.
While in the safe mode, i have selected the Mac OS X 10.4.11 from the preference pane, then restarted, but all produced the same result, same dialog box showing the safe mode.
I couldn't take the screen shot of that dialog box that appears before starting up.
I am currently using the internet while in safe mode, and using ethernet adapter- a AirStream 1100 F25 external modem attached to the USB port. I don't know if that is good for my MB to use internet on the safe mode.
I used disk utility and verified the disk during the safe mode, i don't know if that is right or wrong to perform that utility in safe mode, but it all appeared as normal. You can see that from the following image.
Few days back, i performed the disk utility to verify disk while on the normal boot. But the result shown the red marks, please see the following image for details.

Please help me out. Let me know how to start-up normally. By the way, my superdrive is not detecting DVDs including the OS dvds, but it read and write the CDs. So, It is not possible to reinstall OS early, at least not before the having the back up of the data. Please help me with contingency plan/s or as you think fit.
Thank you. Look forward to your reply.

Maximillianmann,
depending upon how full “almost full” actually is, that could be the problem.
You can try this, if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, to see if it’s not related to your disk being almost full: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Once you hear the startup chime, try booting into Safe mode; does it let you do so now?

Ubuntu 14.3 os I haven't got TB open but can't open it because I get the error Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you

cant open thunder bird on ubuntu 14.4 -get error message
Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
Do you still have a default profile? 
If not then delete the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] to make Firefox create a new default profile.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

When deleting a message in the in box, I get the message "Thunderbird is not responding".

The message is eventually deleted, but it takes a long time for that to happen. This condition just began within the last few days.

"What exactly is "anti-virus s/w"?"
Your anti-virus software, i.e. Bit Defender in your case.
Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?

The migrate Thunderbird help article has an error.

Thunderbird Path Why moving Thunderbird into a new computer might fail.
This is my computer's folder path to the Thunderbird email files:
C:\Users\Stan\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\iq9rzk1o.default\Mail\pop.att.yahoo.com\Inbox
In that Thunderbird email folder:
Are these folders:
Crash Reports A long list of very tiny "Install Time" text files.
Profiles Folders and files holding all the Thunderbird user's email and preferences.
And these files:
Registry.dat A very small file with perhaps some entries for installation in the Registry.
Profiles.ini A very small text file containing only this:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/iq9rzk1o.default <--- Note this.
If that Path entry is not exactly the same as the path following the Thunderbird folder, then Thunderbird does not start.
Error message: "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
So, when copying/moving Thunderbird from the old computer into the new computer, that Profiles.ini file must be included.
To do that copy/move the entire Thunderbird folder. NOT just the Profiles folder, as that Help article describes.
Thus this Help article needs correcting: Moving a Profile [ Because it fails. ]
See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_moving-a-profile

Hi, Team Mozella:
Some more thoughts ..........
'''Move all the Thunderbird email (and its settings) into a new computer
That is the goal. This article seems promising:
'''Thunderbird: "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer"'''
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer#w_manually-moving-files
In that article, for "Manually Moving Files" the reader is right away referred to this article:
'''Thunderbird: "Profiles TB"'''
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
That article is really only concerned with creating and managing Profiles.
Which really isn't a good way for transferring all the Thunderbird email and settings. For only doing this: "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer"
Overly complicated. Perhaps the following?
. (Why not? It does work.)
. '''=============== A Suggested Approach ============='''
'''Installing all Thunderbird email into another computer:'''
The following is performed using only Windows Explorer:
In the Source computer
- To backup the Thunderbird folder:
. 1. Install a USB flash drive to hold the Thunderbird folder backup.
. 2. In the Source computer, locate* this folder: Thunderbird
. 3. To copy that Thunderbird folder, select it. Then do: Ctrl C
. To locate it, select the folder holding it.
. 4. Paste that Thunderbird folder copy into the backup USB flash drive
. To do that, select that USB flash drive. Then do: Ctrl V
In the Destination computer (Assumes Thunderbird is installed.)
- To restore the backup Thunderbird folder:
. 1. Install the USB flash drive holding the Thunderbird folder backup.
. 2. In the Destination computer, locate* this folder: Thunderbird
. 3. Rename that folder: Thunderbird-1 ( Hiding it from Thunderbird. )
. 4. In the backup USB flash drive, copy the Thunderbird backup folder.
. 5. Paste that Thunderbird backup folder where the Thunderbird-1 folder is located.
'''Locating the Thunderbird folder path''' *
- For easy reference you can place that folder path listing into WordPad:
. 1. At the top of the Thunderbird display, click on these:
. Tools > Account Settings
. 2. In the Folder Pane column on the left, select the desired Account.
. (An email address.)
. 3. In that Account Settings box click on this: Server Settings
. 4. Now at the bottom of the Account Settings display is a box: Local Directory
. 5. Click the mouse cursor in that box. Then press: Home
. 6. Then while pressing Shift and Ctrl, press: Home
. All the box's text is selected.
. 7. To copy that selection, press: Ctrl C
. 8. Open the Windows WordPad application.
. 9. To paste the selection into WordPad do: Ctrl V
. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'''Example Thunderbird folder path listings:'''
Windows 7 ( The Thunderbird folder is in the Roaming folder.)
C:\Users\Stan\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\iq9rzk1o.default\Mail\
Windows XP ( The Thunderbird folder is in the Application Data folder.)
C:\Documents and Settings\Stan\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\fl9e9qwi.default\Mail\

'''NOTE:''' The word "Profile" does not appear anywhere in the above text.

I just downloaded and instaled firefox 4. Now, everytime I institute a command I get a po[p-up from Java script that tells me to uninstal set. I cannot go on untin I press ok and then I am good for one more command and it starts with the pop-up again.

I'm not even sure if this is an extension or plug-in and all I can tell you is what I have already stated. I can only make one command at a time and after each one I get a pop-up from Java script that says uninstal set. I must depress ok to move on, but only for one more command and it starts over again. This also happened when I tried to instal firefox 4 a couple months ago and I deleted the program and went back to an earlier version.

How can I start System Preferences from the command line?

Hello All,
I have an issue I'm not quite sure how to solve. I have been tasked within my business environment with tightening security on a Mac Leopard system and I've been granted Admin Rights to do this on a temporary basis.
The problem is as follows:
1) The original Sys Admin that set up this system is gone, no longer available.
2) He was a Dvorak Keyboard fan and set up the system for a Dvorak Keyboard.
3) The system actually has a standard Apple keyboard and is marked accordingly, i.e., qwerty (Most Users in the building have stopped using this system altogether - a terrible waste of a good system - even though some of their apps can be run normally (US style qwerty settings). The command line is useless, as is texteditor.app and a few others unless you know Dvorak layout)
5) When I open System Preferences, the Dvorak keyboard checkbox is grayed out and I cannot change it. There is no lock at the bottom of that particular screen for me to unlock.
6) Even though I select the US Keyboard at Login, and some apps work accordingly (like MatLab for example) the terminal is borderline useless. I spent over 2 hrs yesterday doing what should have been able to be done in about 30 minutes. I estimate a frustrating and mistake prone additional 8 to 10 hours to do what is normally a a 4 hour job at the command-line.
7) I do not have the time or desire to re-mark all the keys on the keyboard, particularly since it is not my call to do so, nor do I have the time to re-learn Dvorak touch-typing, and finally I do not want to re-load the entire system. I just want to change the darn keyboard to a standard qwerty keyboard that is somewhat useful in a terminal environment with vi, command line, etc. It's either that or I go mildly insane
This is frustrating as all get-out. The new Admin logged in and was able to uncheck his Dvorak settings (he is not a UNIX guy, nor is he comfortable om Macs), and we were hoping this was a system wide setting, but No. We re-booted the system, I logged in, still Dvorak, and the checkbox was still grayed out.
So I figure, short of re-loading the entre system and all the applications necesary, I can either start the Systems Preferences GUI using sudo and hopefully that will change system-wide settings, or I can delete the .AppleSetupDone file and resetup the system (if the keyboard settings are part of the setup) without spending a couple of days reloading everything and re-setting up users, networks, etc.
Needless to say, I am hoping for the easiest and quickest solution to this extremely frustrating and aggravating problem.
Thanks.

For my situation the following C# code does the job:
    Process.Start(
       @"c:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI71\cvi.exe",
       @"c:\temp\experiment.c" );
The file must already exist.

How can I start a second window of a second profile through the command line?

I have two profiles set up, 'default' and 'second'. If both are already running how can I start a second window of profile 'second'?
firefox -p 'second' : opens a new window of the default and,
firefox -p 'second' -no-remote : tells me that firefox is already running.

I don't think that this is possible. 
You need to open this second instance (Firefox profile folder) with the -no-remote command line switch and that makes it impossible to open external links via the command line or via a double-click. 
You can only open a link in such an instance by dragging the link on the tab bar of that Firefox window.

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.
Regards, Steve

In Ubuntu the command, "$ thunderbird -offline" starts thunderbird in online mode.
