Is there a way to force a file sharing user to log out?

I have a problem: I've got a few more Macs in my office that need to connect to my computer from time to time via file sharing than OS X Snow Leopard wants to allow. I know Apple wants me to use OS X Server but I don't want to lose the simplicity of my normal workflow. Part of the problem is that users are not logged out unless they manually close the file share, which means that, say, a laptop that's asleep will still be taking up one "file sharing user slow" even though it's not needed. I can see who is logged in via the command
set theUsers to do shell script "netstat -na | awk '/.548/ {print $5}'"
but want I need to know is, is there any way to force, say, user 192.168.1.8.50244 off of my file share without stopping and restarting file sharing, which logs everyone out (and breaks some of my scripts on other computers.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could start with this hint and go from there...

Secure Zones: Is there a way to get the date a user last logged in?

First my goal - I'd like to create an email template saying "We miss you - it's been a while since you visited.", etc.
Anyone who hasn't signed into their account in a month or so would be added to a list. I know there's nothing built into BC for this, but I was thinking it MIGHT be possible to set a cookie for login date and record that as an anniversary date in the CRM. If they come back to the site that date gets updated. If they don't, then an email would be sent 30 days after the anniversary date.
Have any of you done anything similar, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Jason

Date stamps in the image are an old method suited to film cameras. These days, digital cameras encode the date into EXIF data embedded in the digital file. If for some reason you need the date stamped on the image, I'm sure you can find an app to do this either on your phone as you take pictures, or an app on your computer that can read the EXIF data and add it to the image.

I have a daughter using Skype on her iPhone, is there any way to trace her activity, even if she logs out?

I do not know her user name or password, and she logs out every time she uses it.......just being a concerned dad.....

Err, why don't you try spend more time with her and get closer? Perhaps she might reveal who the mystery caller is or so if you ask **nicely**. Well I guess possible fear your kids have is the fear of *rejection* in a case where she might be contacting someone she thinks you wouldn't agree to.

Is there a way to force PE7 to conform/recognize the audio on a file?

I imported a .m2ts clip but it doesn't see the audio at all. I've already verified the project settings so I know thats not it. Is there a way to force PE7 to conform or recognize a file again?

What is the Audio CODEC used in the muxed MPEG file? G-Spot should give you the full details. Where, exactly, did the files come from?
PrE and PrPro can often have problems with muxed files. Much of that depends on the exact CODEC used with the Audio. One method would be to demux the file, i.e. elemental streams with video-only and audio-only. Another method would be to rip the Audio from the muxed file with a program like Audacity, and then Import that separately.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

Hi,
I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

Is there a way to "force" an EFI update?

Hi all
I have the Macbook 5,1 with 4GB of RAM. I read [over at OWC|http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb ] that this computer supports 8GB provided it has the "updated" version of the MB51.007D.B03 Boot ROM. I would be interested in installing 8GB to extend the life of the computer. It runs really well and is a gem.
As I understand OWC's text, Apple re-wrote the MB51.007D.B03 to allow addressing memory up to 8GB *but didn't change the version number*. My computer has MB51.007D.B03 but I don't know when this Boot ROM was installed because I bought the computer used in 2010.
When I try to install the EFI update which OWC links to the computer simply says that it is installed and that it cannot be applied.
As I live in Europe, it's a bit of a gamble for me to order the OWC RAM upgrade pack without knowing if it will actually work on my Macbook.
So here are my questions:
Would the message I get mean that I have the "updated" version of MB51.007D.B03 or would such a message come up also if I have the "old" version of MB51.007D.B03 installed (for instance, would the computer verify some sort of file checksum that differs between the two versions of MB51.007D.B03)?
Is there a way to "force" install of the MB51.007D.B03 which is on Apple's site (which presumably is the latest version) to ensure that I have the latest version installed so that I can safely order the OWC upgrade pack?
Thanks for any insight,
/p

Both ports having different IP's on the same network is not a recommended configuration. If you're trying to increase network bandwidth instead of multi-home, then the proper way to do it is to port-channel. Your switch will need to support bonded interfaces too.
If you must do it the way you have it set, then you can insert a static route so certain specific destinations are routed through that card. The correct way to do it is with two route statements. Assuming your IP assignments as above, your destination is 192.168.4.15, and you always want to go through the .10 interface, you would add:
route add -host 192.168.4.15 10.1.4.10
I haven't tested this so I might have the syntax slightly wrong. The first approach (bonding the two ports) is a much better solution.

Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to dump its input buffer to the database?

I have an application where I start a process and log the data, and then call a subVI that uses the Read Historical Trend VIs to get all of the data from when the process started until now. The problem is that the Historical Trend VIs only read from the database on disk, and the Tag Engine's buffer doesn't write to disk until it's full (or possibly times out; I'm not sure about that, though). Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to write to disk, so that the Historical Trend VIs will return the most recent data?
Shrinking the buffer will help a little, but that will only result in missing less of the most recent data. One possible hack is to have a dummy tag that I simply write enou
gh data to that will cause the buffer to be written to the database. I was hoping for something more elegant, though.

That's a good question.
The control about the datalogging and the DSC Engine is all done (more or less) automatically - you feel the NI ease-of-use idea
That means the Citadel service (one of the NI Services installed by LabVIEW DSC) is responsible of taking care about the datahandling (writing to and reading from the database files including caching some data e.g. index files, frequently used data...).
The DSC Engine makes a request to the Citadel service that this data has to be logged. Everything else is handled by the Citadel service. Internally, there are two kinds of logging periods handled through the Citadel service. One for traces being viewed (a small period: 200ms) and one for traces not being viewed (slow (big) log period: 20000ms). That
means, if Citadel gets a request to store a value it will buffer it and store it as soon as possible depending on other circumstances. One depends on the fact if this trace data is being viewed (e.g. with Read Histroical Trend.vi) If you request/read to view a trace you should pretty much see the current values because citadel should use the fast log period.
The Citadel service takes care as well about setting priorities e.g. the writes before the reads (We don't want to loose data - right?). That means if you really stuff the system by writing a lot of data the CPU might get overloaded and the reads will happen less often.
If you really want to see "real-time" data I would recommend to use the "Trend Tags.vi". With this approach you avoid the chain DSCEngine-Output Buffer-CitadelService-InputBuffer-File-HD... and back.
I hope this info helps.
Roland
PS: I've attached a simple VI that has a tip (workaround) in it which might do what you are looking for... However, Nationa
l Instruments cannot support this offically because the VI being used are internally DSC VIs that certainly change in the next version of LV DSC... and therefore you would need to "re-factor" your application.

Is there a way to force the revalidation of last visited page on start of Firefox whithout no-store directive?

When I set Firefox to start from last visited page and this page contains response headers Cache-Control:mast-revalidate and Expires:0 (not in meta tag) the page doesn't revalidated on the start of Firefox.
Is there a way to force the revalidation in such situation but using the cache as usual. I mean - I can't use no-store directive in Firefox (can in Opera and Chrome) since it prevents usage of cache at all (and Last Modified mechanism in particular) ?

Thanks try67, but it isn't a required field. As I mentioned, only about 20% of submissions will require filling it in.
There isn't a submit button. Not even sure what I would do with/or how I would implement a submit button. After processing the form, the filled out form is 'Saved As' to keep the original forms integrity intact. The 'Saved As' file is renamed appropriately, and then it is printed to a PDF file and attached to the appropriate customer file.

Is there a way to force essbase to use a certain disk?

We run essbase 9.3.1 most bso databases, but also some ASO.
Is there a way to force essbase to use a certain disk?
Our operating system runs on C:\. Essbase is installed on D:\ Our M:\ drive is for data purpose.
We want to direct essbase to create the *.ind and *pag files on the M:\ drive.
To do so I added "DISKVOLUMES M C 0k D 0k " to the essbase.cfg, restarted essbasse and created and loaded a new application. But is still creates the ind and pag file soin D:\ With configure application I am able to move the files before a databases is loaded.
Is there a way to force essbase to use a certain disk?

ok ok ok (not ok)
all the answers seems to say that it is NOT posible to force it from start.
You can only correct it afterwards.
We want the essbase admins NOT be able to create a application on a certain path.
All the given answers tell me: let them do it and change it later on.
To bad.
But anyhow thanks for all the replies.

Is there a way to force a download option?

Hello
My boss asked me this question: is there a way to force a
link (PDF in this case) to open the dialog box for an option of
save to file or open?
Thanks
Rob

> My boss is asking for it... no other reason
If you are willing, you could educate your boss a bit and
explain that PDFs
are a 3rd party file format...not a native web format. As
such, they are
interacted with outside of the default settings of common web
browsers. This
means that the default behavior of a link to a PDF is going
to be different
on everyone's own machine and based on things like user
preferences,
installed plug-ins, installed browser extensions and
installed 3rd-party PDF
viewing applications.
Any link can be downloaded via right-clicking a link in any
browser (well,
except maybe the iPhone...can you 'right click' on the
iPhone?)
Using a ZIP file can fix the 'force a download' request, but
usually those
types of requests that come from people that don't really
know how to use a
computer, so you're gambling that they'll know what to do
with a ZIP file.

Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area?

Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area? All clips: not only the ones with the red horizontal line indicating that they need rendering! I ask for this because the rendered clips preview very smoothly, but the unrendered ones do not! My source footage (and project) involves Full HD (1920*1080i 25fps).

If a Clip does not need Rendering, it will not be Rendered.
Basically, what Rendering does is to convert the Clips, that do require Rendering, to DV-AVI (SD Projects on a PC). This will yield AVI files in the Media Cache, Render Files, and for playback, PrE will rely on those. If you look in the Render File folder, you will see a bunch of abstractly named files, but those files are now Linked in the PREL (Project file), and will be used by the program for playback.
If one were to remove those Render files, and then Open that Project in PrE, they'd receive a message, "Where is file 04u434ip0ow.AVI?" [Note: that is just an example of the abstract Render file name, and is not the actual name, that one would see.]. One could Ignore those now missing Render files, and where they were used, there would then be red lines over those Clips.
As Steve mentions, the Render files are used only for smoothest playback. As I use DV-AVI files for SD Projects on my PC, I will not need to Render for smoothest playback, until I make changes to the Clips, like overlay Titles, PiP, Effects, etc.. I might never Render the Timeline, even with those additions, but sometimes, I will Render a small segment many times, especially with animated Effects, as I adjust the parameters.
If one is not getting the smoothest playback, then Rendering all files requiring Rendering will usually improve playback greatly.
Good luck, and hope that this makes sense.
