Interrupt a running script in CS3

This may be a scripting question. Because of poor decision making on someones part (me), I am running a script that may take a very long time to run. Is there a way to stop the script without having to force close the program? I am running JETs Join Nearest Points script and there are probably many thousands of points that I had erroneously selected. The script usually says I have a ridiculously large number of points, do I want to continue? I think it is stuck on counting them!
Well it finished counting while I was composing this. There are 4513 points. Anyway, it there a way to stop it for future reference.

Cmd+. doesn't seem to work any more like it did pre-OS X.
But I think scripts prefer to finish what they set out on; that is, just give them time to finish even though it seems to take ages.
I've got one for InDesign that always takes several minutes to finish – it always seems longer when you're waiting for it.
Like they say, "A watched pot never boils". I reckon the trick is just to go and make yourself a cup of coffee and wait for the kettle to boil instead.
By the time your coffee is ready your script probably will be too.

  • Script Alert "You should only run scripts from a trusted source."

    I created a small javascript which opens Photoshop and resizes some images.
    I want to be able to double-click the .JSX file from Windows Explorer, and have Photoshop execute the script. Likewise, I want to be able to run the .JSX file from the command line.
    The script runs perfectly. However, the problem is that I don't want any user interaction. I want to be able to run the script from the command line without the user having to click anything. What happens now when I try to run the file from Windows Explorer of the command line is, I get a Script Alert with the following text:
    You are about to run a script in Adobe Photoshop CS3. You should only run scripts from a trusted source. Do you want to run the script? Yes/No
    Is there any possible way to bypass this message or to answer in the affirmative?
    Thanks,
    Jamie L.

    Hi... Sorry to revive such an old thread,
        Does anyone know the "trusted source" folder for MAC CS4.
    EDIT!
    My bad.  "The /users/<user_name>/documents/Adobe Scripts" folder is working for this purpose for me.  I needed a path to it and forgot that the ~ resolves to the current user.  Sweet.

  • HELP! adobe reader XI (11.0.09)  hangs on installation (running scripts package)

    adobe reader XI (11.0.09) hangs on installation (running scripts package). I cannot shut my computer down, because the installer won't let it and says "interrupting the install will damage the computer) I just wanted to update from 11.0.07 but it said contents had been changed so I had to reinstall adobe reader. So I am trying but it has been hours.

  • Run Script action not working when verifying bundle

    I have a critical "Run Script" action in a bundle. When verifying the bundle, the script doesn't seem to run and the verify action hangs indefinitely.
    I see the following lines in the ZCM Log:
    Code:
    [DEBUG] [07/21/2011 19:05:48.670] [5880] [runscriptenf] [1] [TeachGH] [Run Script Action] [] [Found script engine cmd.exe. Not using it since cmd.exe does not take parameters.] [] []

    nothing else is logged after those 2 lines. It seems like ZCM decides not to run the script for some reason, but is still waiting for it to complete? Or is it possible that it has moved onto the next action, but it is hanging there and not reporting it to the log?
    I have no time to troubleshoot right now, will do so in depth tomorrow. Just wanted to get this posted in case anybody has a clue.

    Nevermind, the next action is running, and that is what is hanging, which I doubt is Zenworks fault... Time for some more troubleshooting.

    CFGFWK-60839:  Database Load Failed!
    Please help me if you find any problem with the steps that I am following to create my weblogic_portal_domain.
    I was following the steps mentioned at : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14252.pdf to create my domain to start portal development.

    Those are the WLP 10.3.2 instructions. But, the 10.3.4 instructions in the tutorial (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14252/setup_dev_env.htm#i1014619) are wrong, too.
    In 10.3.4, with derby, Run Scripts doesn't work any longer; it should still work the other database (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.). Instead, for derby, just create the domain, accepting any warning dialogs about databases that come up. After that finishes, in the domain directory, run create_db.cmd (on windows) or create_db.sh (on *nix and Mac). It should create the derby database files in the domain, and include everything needed.
    I'll send a note to get the docs updated.

  • Why does Firefox on my Windows 7 PC hang (become unresponsive) while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts?

    Firefox hangs (becomes unresponsive) when accessing many sites including Gmail. Eventually, when hung, Firefox will throw up a window saying "WARNING: A script has become unresponsive" or, in the case of Gmail, the page itself will say "Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem."
    IE8 and Google Chrome are working normally. I've tried Firefox in safe mode, re-installing and even running Firefox portable from a USB thumb drive. Each time with the same result—Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts.

    Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6200.754

    Your problem sounds like the one that a co-worker and I started to have about the same time. Check your Symantec client management control log. You might see a line like the following.
    Date and Time Severity Level Action Test / Production Description API Class Rule Caller Process ID Caller Process Parameter User
    2012-07-30 10:48:09 AM 15 Block Production Unauthorized NT call rejected by protection driver. System Built-in rule 1608 FlashplayerPlu FuncID-B6H, R... None
    At first we thought that it was a Javascript problem until we noticed this log. The key words are 'Block' and 'FlashPlayerPlu'. This problem recently started for us, perhaps with a software push 1-2 weeks ago. Internet Explorer does not hang when accessing pages with Flash.
    The Flash page does eventually load after a long time. However, since the whole browser hangs for a while, for the most part having the Flash plugin enabled makes Firefox unusable if accessing pages with Flash.
    Disabling the Flash plugin solves the hanging problem, but I do not know what is causing the problem, nor do I know when a combination of Windows 7, Flash, and Symantec will work. Your later version of Symantec shows that we might have the problem for a while, but I do not know what customization CSC did with Symantec. My coworker did run a complete virus scan, uncovering nothing. Another co-worker is running Windows XP. She does not have the problem, but I do not know what other versions of software she is running.

  • Can FTP-access to field point log file interrupt the running program?

    Can FTP-access to field point log file interrupt the running program?
    We have a problem where our factory process control program on a Field Pointer suddenly stops the process. We are running the development system on a PC, wich deploys the program on the Field point, with user interface on the PC. Quite often the process stops for no apparent reason. I'm not sure right now if the control program on the Field Point is still running or if it stops. We use FTP from a distant PC (over VPN) directly to the Field Point to check if the process is running, by looking for date and size of log files produced during running process. I've never opened och copied any log file during process run, because this I'm sure this would cause problems for new log entries to be written. But can the mere looking at the log folder via XP-pros ftp-functionality cause the Field Point to have problems writing data to a log file?
    I'm not sure how windows XP pro handles "my network places" when it comes to FTP, it look that it keeps some kind of local copy of the folders, or at least the files opened.
    Next version of the program will have only basic functionality on the Field Point, leaving logging etc. to another program on the PC, but right now we are stuck with this system.

    It turned out that the problem lies in the harware of the production machine, it was not a labiew-program problem at all!

  • Looking for an SQL query to retreive callvariables + ECC from a RUN SCRIPT RESULT (Translation to VRU)

    Hi Team,
    I am looking for an SQL query to check the data (ECC + CallVariable) received following a RUN SCRIPT RESULT when requesting an external VRU with a Translation Route to VRU with a "Run External Script".
    I believe the data are parsed between the Termination Call Detail + Termination Call Variable .
    If you already have such an SQL query I would very much appreciate to have it.
    Thank you and Regards
    Nick

    Omar,
    with all due respect, shortening a one day's interval might not be an option for a historical report ;-)
    I would recommend to take a look the following SQL query:
    DECLARE @dateFrom DATETIME, @dateTo DATETIME
    SET @dateFrom = '2014-01-24 00:00:00'
    SET @dateTo   = '2014-01-25 00:00:00'
    SELECT
    tcv.DateTime,
    tcd.RecoveryKey,
    tcd.RouterCallKeyDay,
    tcd.RouterCallKey,
    ecv.EnterpriseName AS [ECVEnterpriseName],
    tcv.ArrayIndex,
    tcv.ECCValue
    FROM Termination_Call_Variable tcv
    JOIN
    (SELECT RouterCallKeyDay,RouterCallKey,RecoveryKey FROM Termination_Call_Detail WHERE DateTime > @dateFrom AND DateTime < @dateTo) tcd
    ON tcv.TCDRecoveryKey = tcd.RecoveryKey
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Expanded_Call_Variable ecv ON tcv.ExpandedCallVariableID = ecv.ExpandedCallVariableID
    WHERE tcv.DateTime > @dateFrom AND tcv.DateTime < @dateTo
    With variables, you can parametrize your code (for instance, you could write SET @dateFrom = ? and let the calling application fill in the datetime value in for you).
    Plus joining two large tables with all rows like you did (TCD-TCV) is never a good option.
    Another aspect to consider: all ECC's are actually arrays (always), so it's not good to leave out the index value (tcv.ArrayIndex).

  • Has the behavior of 'run script' changed in Snow Leopard?

    These work fine:
    tell application "Safari"

    end tell
    tell application "Safari"

    tell application "Safari"
    set longURL to run script getFrontmostURLCommand

    Why? It looks like a script interpretation error but I can't figure out what's wrong.
    The error returned is:
    error "Safari got an error: Can’t get URL of document 1." number -1728 from "URL of front document"

    I see. Is there a way to make the application variable? I'm writing a function because getFrontmostURLCommand works with a couple of different browsers and I want it to be run conditionally based on the user's browser. Something like this:
    set defaultBrowser to GetDefaultWebBrowser()
