Is there a way to run Firefox updates on Macintosh computers using the command line?

In our school district we have thousands of Macintosh computers that have Firefox installed (on Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6). When a new update is released to fix security vulnerabilities it would be very helpful if our Tech Support Specialists could send out a command to all the Macs using Apple Remote Desktop to update Firefox. Is there a command that can be sent to update Firefox? If so, could you please tell me what the command is? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

Certainly, but not with external interface.
Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.

  • Is there a way to print/convert a file to PDF from the Command Line? If so, how?

    I'm trying to do something that I imagined would be really simple, but I haven't found a good resource on how to thus far. I'm trying to do something along the lines of this:
    Acrobat.exe /print inputfile.xls outputfile.pdf.
    Does anything like this command exists?

    For automating Acrobat there are many interfaces for programmers, but no command line like that. (Microsoft declared command lines dead almost 20 years ago, but they've been an unconsionable time a dying).

  • Is there any way to compile FLA files into SWF files on the command line?

    I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional on Windows XP.  To facilitate automated nightly builds, I have been searching for a way to compile my SWF files from the FLA files under source control, but without luck.  The tools in the Flex SDK looked promising, but we do not use Flex.  Thanks!

  • Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

    Hello,
    we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
    Thank you for your help
    Kind Regards

    Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
    Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
    Thanks

    If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

    Hi 
    Is there a way to filter a drop down list by using the result main data display from"GetUserProfileByName" when open the form?

    I'm not sure if I understood your question clearly but here is a good resource on how to get attributes from "GetUserProfileByName" web services:

    Regarding filtering dropdown list then this could be done by applying form on-load rules. 
    Hope this helps

  • Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

    Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
    Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Correction...
    It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
    Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
    Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

  • Using the command line with DESKI to run a specific module in a report

    I'm using BOXI R2 Desktop edition in a Windows Environment.
    I have a report with a macro inserted in it which is composed of several sub-modules. 
    I know I can launch the report from the command line as follows: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\BUSINESS OBJECTS\BUSINESSOBJECTS\BUSOBJ.EXE" -user "USERID" -pass "PSWD" "Directory and Filename" -keyfile "Keyfilename" -nologo
    What I want to know is can I launch the report from the command line and call a specific module.  So if I have 5 modules in a single report, can I just call 1 from the command line?
    How would that be formatted?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's some more stuff to be done to correctly call external executables.
    Read [When Runtime.exec() wont|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html], it shows some of the pitfalls of Runtime.exec().
    Edit: there's also JRuby, which might be worth a try.

  • Is there a way to sync Firefox on my new top of the line imac with my older imac that can only use Firefox 2.0?

    My old imac has System 10.3.9, and I am not able to add sync to my Firefox 2.0 browser. My new imac has Snow Leopard. Is there any way to move my Firefox bookmarks, passwords, etc., from my old computer to my new computer?

    Firefox 2 versions used bookmarks.html format to store bookmarks, you can '''import''' that type of bookmarks file format into all later versions of Firefox. <br />
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file
    The correct version of the Password Exporter extension can be installed in the old Firefox 2 version, to export you password data. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/#version-1.2
    Then install the correct version of that extension in the newer version, so you can restore your passwords into the newer version. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

  • Is there a way to run an existing PS-JS script using external interface

    I have several previously written Photoshop JS scripts which I'd like to run through buttons on PS panels, much like the example for the HelloWorld introduction. I assume that--using external interface--I'll somehow be able to fire off these script files. Is this a correct assumption?
    Thanks!

    Certainly, but not with external interface.

  • I share a Toshiba Qosmio with my fiance as our 'home' computer, i recently bought an iphone 4, he has a 4s why can i not sync my music to itunes? Is there a way to have 2 seperate accounts on iTunes using the same computer

    My fiance and I share our home laptop, he is awaiting his new Mac arrival.  During this time I have sold my old laptop and used this one, Toshiba Qosmio.  When i plug my iphone 4 into iTunes and try to sync the music, it prompts a window that says if i sync music his, from his iphone 4s will override mine and erase my music.  Isn't there a way I can have 2 seperate accounts or just delete his, as he is getting a new one?  I have tried uninstalling although it still comes up to his account.  TERRIBLY FRUSTRATED!!!!  I am new to the iphone, as we were Droid users prior to this.  Thank you for any help

    How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

  • Is there a way to mirror your monitor to your tv using the apple composite cable instead to just stream your video in specific situations?

    Hello,
    i bought the composite video cable out for the ipad and i want to know if there is a way to mirror the ipad monitor instead to just transmit video in specific sittuations. The same to my iphone.
    I know that there is a way to do it in jailbreak ipads or iphones (using a app, but don't want to do it).

    Thanks Dave.  When I read the manuals they did not communciate this point this clearly.
    Use one of these to connect iPad to a TV or projector:
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cableÂÂ
    Apple Component AV CableÂÂ
    Apple Composite AV CableÂÂ
    Apple VGA AdapterÂÂ
    If you use the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple Component AV Cable, high-resolution videos are shown in HD quality. Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store.
    With iPad 2, when the cable is connected to a TV or projector, the iPad screen is automatically mirrored on the external display in up to 1080p resolution, and videos play at a maximum resolution of 720p. Some apps such as Keynote may use the external display as a second video monitor. With previous iPad models, only certain applications (including YouTube, Videos, and Photos) use the external display.

  • Is there a way to scan a string containing % (percent symbols) using the "Scan from String" function?

    I am communicating serially with a chilled mirror device and the input string syntax contains this text: "%RH=<input value>"
    I have not been able to figure out how to tell the function that the percent here is not a format specifier. Is this possible, or should I just try to use a different function?
    Thanks.
    Mitch
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Use %% in your format string so that it knows to use the percent literally.  So %%RH=%f
    EDIT:  Darin got one in there ahead of me.  It looks like either \% and %% both work.
