Keeping sleep from stopping unix jobs

I start jobs from the unix command line in Terminal that need to run overnight. But from looking at their output files, they seem to stop shortly after starting, I'm assuming when my MBP goes to sleep. How can I keep them running, just don't let it go to sleep? TIA. -Jay

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

Stop a job from printing

Hope Experts how are you today?
One of our users created a job SD_203_Z_AUTO_DEL. Everytime this jobs runs it prints out. She would like to stop this job from printing. Is there anything in SM37 job overview that I need to change. If not in SM37 than were do I go. I see that SU01 under Spool Control OutputDevice is QU6, but if I change this than she won't be able to print anything. Sorry for the novice question. I don't spend alot of time in SAP these days........

Using transaction SM37, you can select the job from the list and select Job -> Change from the menu. Select the Step button, which will list the steps in the job. Select the step (program) that creates the output and select Step -> Change from the menu. There should be a Print Specifications button at the bottom of the screen. Select this button and then select the Properties button. Change the Time of Printing to 'Send to SAP spool' and save all of your entries.

When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

Someone is accessing my itunes account using my apple id and password. How do I stop this? I have changed my apple id and password, will that be sufficient? How do I keep this from happening? No one knows my id and password, my kids have their own.

I have an Iphone 4s. I noticed today that someone has been downloading music using my apple id and password. No one knows my id or password. Not even my children. How can I stop them from using it? How can I keep it from happening again?

Changing your password should be sufficient, that should be required to be entered to download anything from the store.

Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening?

Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening? An example is: I try to type Super Excited and the U, E and P won't work. But once I restart, all the letters work.

It could be an accumulation of all sorts of bits of info and depending on the last time you cleared the system cache either manually or via a factory reset on that phone you might find a difference there after doing so with many other system caches.
Clearing the application cache removes temporary files and frees up memory - your personal settings or information remain intact.
Be sure you clear only the application cache and not the application data.
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Scroll to and tap Settings.
Tap More.
Tap Application manager.
Swipe left to view the All tab.
Scroll to and tap an application.
Tap Clear cache.
You've now cleared the application cache.

How do I keep my music from stopping when my ipad autolocks?

How do I keep my music from stopping when I close my ipad or it autolocks?

My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

Printer keeps 'stopping' every job i send

i've read several discussions about this, none seem to help so i thought i'd try too.. hope this is the right place to post though!
I have a Lexmark x5260 all in one printer, it's always worked with windows and it used to work with this mac. Sometimes it does, but most of the time i print something and it stops every job. When i resume it stops it again. I've tried deleting any quewes, restarting, reconnecting, and i think i set it up correctly. Is there any obvious solution?! the printer still works when i connect it to my laptop running windows...
thanks

Hello Ozma76 and others,
First I am mainly an OS 9.2 user but I am learning more about X.
We use X.3 in work (school) and I am learning a few things you could try.
First what application are you printing from?
When you go to print do you check in the print dialog box to be sure the correct printer is selected? Also if applicable check the page set-up before printing. Are these printers networked?
The things I would try are these:
1. - Try printing just a small (few letters) from application. Does it work?
2. - Try another application - does that print?
3. - If the answers are no.....I would then go to #4
4. - Go into the sysytem preferences and go to the print center.
5. - Highlight your printer and hit the (minus) sign to delete it.
6. - Make sure the printer is on and connected......
7. - Then in the print center...hit the (plus sign) - The computer will look for drives for the printer you are using.
8. - Apple has pre-installed many drivers and if worse case you need to re-install drivers or download them from the company site.
I think this will get you printing....This is what we have done several times in school. Post Back.........Jim

So I am trying to empty my trash but something is keeping it from emptying - I think it's this file: SONYCOPY.IND an executable unix file that I know nothing about - so nothing else will delete either

So I am trying to empty my recycle bin but something is keeping it from emptying - I think it's a unix file called SONYCOPY.IND? Now the trash is also creating new folders with recovered items? Not sure what's going on...

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Tapping the magic mouse to raise from sleep has stopped. Why?

Tapping the magic mouse to raise from sleep has stopped. Why?

There have been a few threads on here about this problem - there's a long thread here that started in 10.6 and has continued into 10.7: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2223188?start=0&tstart=0
When 10.7.2 was released it initially seemed to fix things for me but unfortunately it didn't last. The only surefire 'fix' for me is to set the computer to 'never sleep' in Energy Saver prefs. Hopefully another update might resolve it - we live in hope .

How do I turn on the fans on my iMac to keep it from overheating? I used to be able to turn them on when I plugged in the computer and turned the computer on simultaneously but that stopped working.

how do I turn on the fans on my iMac to keep it from overheating?

You could use smcFanControl. That will control the fan speed but be aware the fan is always running. If you have a fan revving up due to overheating it could be because a temperature sensor is failing. Try running Apple Hardware Test (on your second installer DVD -- boot with the D key) to see if can detect any sensor problems.

Can't stop a job from plsql 27486 - stops fine from sql

Hi,
I'm trying to create a simple package that will stop known jobs that the user owns. (Same user owns the jobs and the package)
the code just does
dbms_scheduler.disable('JOB_EMAIL_QUEUE', TRUE);
dbms_scheduler.stop_job('JOB_EMAIL_QUEUE', TRUE);
At stop_job I get
ORA-27486 insufficient privilege
ORA-06512 at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 164
ORA-06512 at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 483
Yet if I put the exact same code in an anon block it runs fine in sqlplus for the same user. The user holds the role SCHEDULER_ADMIN but I have now granted him execute access on both dbms_isched and dbms_scheduler.
Whassup?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I think what you're seeing is caused by the following two facts
- a user must have the manage scheduler system privilege to stop a job with force=>true
- definer's rights pl/sql stored procedures don't honour system privileges granted through roles. See
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10807/08_subs.htm#sthref1072
The simplest solution is to grant MANAGE SCHEDULER directly to the definer of the definer's rights stored procedure.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

How to deactivate a shared Hard drive on Airport Extreme - keeps sleeping

was curious if anyone one knows how to temporally deactivate a shared Hard drive on Airport Extreme - keeps sleeping every 30mins and have to wait 12 second for the drive to spin up and wait for the beach ball to stop spinning. Getting really aggravating.... Thanks

The external harddrive is NTFS format and someone from apple told me that it would have to be reformatted to be seen by the Extreme -- Needless to say with 33% of the hard drive filled, I do NOT want to reformat.
Unfortunately, HDDs attached to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, cannot be recognized by the AirPort if formatted in NTFS. If you do not wish to reformat this drive, you will either have to use a different drive or connect this drive to a Windows PC for sharing on the network.
The AirPort can only share drives formatted in HFS+ or FAT32.

Can't stop a job

Hello,
The job "refreshfrommetalink" is running since 4 days and I can't stop it through the manager.
When I click on "Stop" the job is flagged "Stop pending", but it dones not stop.
On other screens it is still flagged "Running".
How can I stop it ?
Version 10.0.1.2

I have had some success with finding the offending session and killing it, then killing the offending OS process.
Since we are using RAC (on RHEL), and the session is known to be running under a job class, which runs under a service, we find the offending session by:
select sid, serial#, status from gv$session where service_name = 'BACKUPS';
SID SERIAL# STATUS
3185 4664 ACTIVE
Then issue: ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '3185, 4664' IMMEDIATE;
SID SERIAL# STATUS
3185 4664 KILLED
Now, find the OS process associated with that SID (assuming you are using UNIX):
select s.username, s.status, s.sid oracle_sid, s.process unix_pid, s.serial#, p.spid, s.machine, s.lockwait
     from v$session s, v$process p
     where s.sid = '&oracle_sid'
     and s.paddr = p.addr
Enter value for oracle_sid: 3185
USERNAME STATUS ORACLE_SID UNIX_PID
APP_SERVER INACTIVE 3185 1234
Then, leave sqlplus, and kill the offending OS process using a command prompt on the server:
kill -9 1234
After this, the job can be disabled/modified/dropped

How to stop backup job on enterprise manager

Hi
I have a rman job on enterprise manager which takes backup of all the datafiles everyday.
How can I temporaraly stop the job and resume later? The job hasnt started yet.
Database is oracle 10g. operating system is unix
regards

If you stop it, it will not run again and you won't be able to reschedule it. Killing sounds like it will solve your problem.
To kill:
Once you click on the "Running" link next to the job_name, you should see these two links (the second one may take a few seconds to show up):
Step: Prebackup
Step: Backup
Click on the "Step: Backup" hyperlink. There will be a "Kill Step" button at the top right corner.
If you don't see it, you can also connect to the database itself and kill the RMAN SIDs. This should show the job's status as "Problems". You can then edit the "Scheduled" job that should have been created.
As for the run tomorrow, make sure you delete the O/S files created by the killed job if they are still there and run "crosscheck backup" (from RMAN or Grid/Manage Backup). This will make sure RMAN doesn't skip any datafiles at the next run.
