Key Sequence To Return To Login Window Without User Logging Out

Anyone know the key sequence to return to the login window without requiring the user to log out?
I know this is possible from the menu bar when you have fast-user switching enabled, but I'm trying to get rid of that menu bar icon but I'm looking for an alternative.

Create a script in Script Editor with the following:
do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend"

  • How to close browser window after user log out

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how I can close browser window after user logs out. The scenario is when user clicks a log out button I will invalidate user session and close the browser right away in the backing bean.
    Your help would be appreciated.

    Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
    <%
         String someText = "bla bla bla";
         response.setContentType("text/plain");
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
         try {
              ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
              os.write(someText.getBytes());
              os.flush();
              os.close();
         } catch (Exception e) {
              out.println("ERROR: " + e);
    %>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
    I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??

  • How to schedule a print pdf job (in windows) without user logged in

    We try to use a powershell scripts to print pdf files from a directory. It works fine if you schedule this scripts as task with option "Run only as user is logged on", but if you schedule the job as "Run whether user is logged on or not", the print pdf doesn't work at all. Here is the powershell scripts used to print:
    $process = Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden -FilePath $outfile -Verb Print -PassThru -Wait | %{sleep 5; $_} | kill if ($process.StandardError) { log $process.StandardError }
    Any suggestions are welcome!

    Thank you for your reply!  that is what I thought!  but what other options I have?  can I use C# + window services?  or Adobe SDK?  or Java Application?
    Thanks,

  • Automatically Login Windows System User In TestStand 3.1

    I have checked the "Automatically Login Windows System User" in TestStand 3.1. However, when I re-start TestStand I still have to enter the password each time. Why is this happening? Both the username and password do exist in the Users.ini file. I am using Windows XP SP3. I have already talked to a NI support engineer and they did not have an answer. Thanks for the help.
    Felix 

    Hi ic2118,
    Can you move the Users.ini file (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Cfg) to a new location and restart TestStand. The file may have been corrupted and moving it out of the Cfg folder will force TestStand to create the file again.

  • Macbook will not return from login window

    Hi,
    I ran some updates on my sytem yesterday and since then when I select login window if I am away from my machine and then return, it will not come out of the login window. It does not give me the login screen even? Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Probably to late but just in case....
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • Logging in to login window returns to login window after authentication

    I installed Snow Leopard successfully on both my iMac and Macbook. On the macbook, I had problems with several of the accounts having to type old passwords into the login keychain. I resolved a couple of the accounts by correcting permissions on home directories and then clearing the entries in the login keychain.
    One of them I deleted accidentally, and I tried to recreate the login.keychain file for this account, but now when I try to log in to this account, it authenticates username and password, and then goes back to the login window again. Any ideas?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Login window hides user with UID 1000

    I had to change my primary user's UniqueID to 1000 to access NFS shares on a linux box.
    Ever since then the account became "hidden" in the sense that regardless of the login window's option of "show list of users" I can only log in by selecting the "Other" option and supplying the username+password.
    I have researched extensively and some people over different forums reported this behaviour as well specific to UID 1000. Nevertheless this "feature" is absolutely undocumented.
    Would anyone know of a plist option that puts this user back to the login screen list?
    I suppose alternatively I could change the UID back to 501 on both the Mac and the linux box so they'd be in sync...

    Thanks for the responce.
    I realize that I need to chown some user specific folderes and files. I also did that on my current system.
    Nevertheless...some thinges are still not working properly. I belive im not quite there yet.
    I would like to know how to do this the simple but correct way....in LION
    I think its a bit overkill to use your scripts, due to all the LDAP stuff.
    There must be a specific way to add users with specific UID on LION on a single OSX installation.
    I have found lots of halv way there solutions on the net..but would realy like to see something more official!
    I kind of made a workaround with my NFS share on my linux sever, using a special way to mount them avoiding hte UID problems.
    On the linux box in etc/exports...i export the NFS share linke this.
    /media/RAID5/xxxx *(rw,async,no_subtree_check,insecure,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,all_squash)
    And ...in Finder...on the mac ...i right click and "Connect to server" like this
    nfs://xxxIPxxxxx/media/RAID5/xxxx
    xxxx= some folder do share.
    All my linux users are as standard UID 1000, but if anyone with a drifferent UID mounts the nfs share ...they are regarded as uid 1000 in any case avoidnig file premission conflicts.
    NFS is not the only reason I would like to use same UID on all systems. 
    Sharing files on harddisks, and dualboot systems with linux/osx are another reason.
    Linux has read/write to HFS+ if not journaled..!!
    (I know this is more info than needed, but if someone else reads this...having NFS issues..thay may pick up some idears ;o)

  • I have no way to return to previous page without going completely out of firefox - can you help with this?

    I start with the home page of a site. Then go to one of the other pages on the same site. I find no way to return to the home page without going completely out of firefox and having to start all over again. In other words the "back" arrow is gray and does not work to get me back to the original home page. Can you help with this?

    Try double clicking on the Back arrow. If you click on it and hold it pressed, it should give you a drop down list of the previous pages. You can also achieve that by right click on the Back arrow. But if you do a single, quick click on it, it should take you back.

  • Login window displayed after logging in

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite I have had some problems with the login process.Hope somebody can help!
    Before upgrading I had my Users & Groups preference set to 'Display login window as Name and Password' and everything worked fine. However, since upgrading, when rebooting, I would be given the list of users, even though the preference was still name and password. If I logged in the system would boot, all of my login items would be started and then the name and password login screen would be displayed and I had to login again! I have tried changing the login option to 'List of users' and now I have exactly the same problem but I see the list of users on both occasions! It's a bit of a pain.
    It's not the end of the world as I leave the machine logged in most of the time but I would like to know what the problem is. I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM but it hasn't helped. The machine is a 2011 MacBook Pro and both a firmware password and filevault are enabled. I have another issue where my display keeps going to sleep, which is the subject of another thread on the forums, and I suppose this may be related as the preference in that case is to never let the display sleep.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Thanks,

  • Trying to login and automatically get logged out in AD?

    Basically what happens is an AD user *using admit mac* tries to login, it start to spin like it's going to let her in but then goes to a blue screen *non death* and then goes straight back to the login screen from that said blue screen. All other AD accounts can login just fine.
    This is the log I'm getting from a good login, starting from 2:56:33-2:56:53, and then the problem login where i get booted before i even get to my home screen starting at 2:58:20, and then a following good login to collect the log. I put spaces in where i think each login starts and begins. I have also removed my companies domain and replaced it with ***** in several places.

  • Auto-login then Fast User Switch out?

    I've got a few programs (e.g. Chronosync) that need to launch as a user upon login. I need these to launch at boot time. Of course, I could auto-login to this account, but that would leave the machine sitting there with an admin account logged in (something I'd rather not do).
    Is there any way I could do something like auto-login to this acct at boot and then do an immediate FUS out to the login window?
    Craig

    One way to do this is with Automator:
    1) Launch Automator. Make a new custom workflow.
    2) Choose the "run shell script" action. Paste this text into the box:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend (all that should be on one line)
    3) Save the workflow as an application.
    4) Go to System Preferences -> Accounts -> your account -> Login items. Make your Automator app a login item.

  • Rules within sequence are not completing after user logged out.

    We have been noticing since yesterday that rules within a sequence not being completed when user logs off planning.
    A. User kicks off a sequence from planning. This sequence has 4 rules.
    B. Logged off either after launching or after waiting few minutes and logged off.
    C. Next rules do not start and we noticed session is ending from AAS.
    However user closes browser sequence completes. Yes sequence has no errors. It was working fine until last week and only change was 'NETDELAY' value. Changed from 1500 to 60000.
    Not tried from SmartView yet.

    Corrected typo in title.

    Reason for changing from 1500 to 60000 was, do not remember exactly, issue with MS Excel connectivity. We implemented long ago in dev but never updated other environments.
    As far as other HBR_MAX_WAIT_FOR_RULE and HBR_MONITOR_DELAY we have tried and did not achieve desired results.
    FYI: we are using Planning 9.3.0.1 and wanted rules running longer than 60 minutes to go in background mode. But above setting would not be useful for 9.3.0.1.
    Am I confusing you?
    More info of original issue: Business rules time-out. Planning 9.3.0.1
    Since then, we have increase web session time-out to 720 min (12 hours), in-activity session timeout to 720 min to let sequence complete even if user session timed out.
    Thanks!

  • Ending session when user closes window w/o logging out

    Hi,
    I tried looking everywhere for a solution to this problem and was unable to do so. I'm running tomcat 4.0.5 on win2k and am trying to prevent multiple user logging capability, but the listeners that I implemented for the session can only detect the creation of the session, and the destruction after the pre-set session invalidation time. So if the user closes the window 15 minutes into the session, the server still has the flag for "logged in" in place and the user cannot log in for the remainded of the session time (which is another 15 minutes).
    Can anyone please help me with this problem?
    Thank you very much,
    Lior

    How can I do that? Do you have any code I could take a look at. Thanks a lot.

  • (it's an answer to..) "My mac keeps returning to login window"

    As above my imac mini kept going into a deep sleep when left unnatended for an hour. I had just upgraded to Mountain Lion AND was using new 'Canopus' hardware to convert my old video tapes AND had read "incompatible software" messages so i suspected this was where the root of the problem lay.
    Various threads were siezed upon to remedy this, the latest was a 'safe reboot' and remove problem startup apps. There were no problem flags (circle with a line struck through) but I deleted all the startup apps anyway.
    Still thee problem was there then I read a simple fix on a seperate thread...
    I had obviously checked the energy saving shut-down sttings and still had the problem however this thread pointed to a timeout setting within SYS PREFERENCES/SECURITY & PRIVICY/GENERAL/ADVANCED which was greyed out until I entered the password.
    There it was, completely buried and anything but obvious. "Logout after sixty minutes inactivity" BINGO!
    This might be obvious to a million and one experts but I've been trying to sort this for over a week and now have to start transferring my videos all over agai so I hope it helps another simpleton like me

    Firefox would store its data in the profile folder. You need to search for the old profile folder, inside it there will be a folder called bookmarkbakups containing a few files with names in the format bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json.
    For details of how to find the old profile folder see the [[profiles]] article. It should be inside this folder - /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/, there will likely be a folder with a name similar to xxxxxxxx.default, that will be the profile folder.
    You can import the bookmarks from the most recent of those files into your current version of Firefox by following the restore procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]], using the "Choose File" option.

  • Aspect ratio suddenly changes in LR develop window without user interaction

    I imported some Nikon NEF images with sidecar JPEGs using NikonView/NikonTransfer (rotate image turned on). Afterwards I imported the images into Lightroom (copy to new locacation). The LR option "treat JPEG files next to RAW files as seperate" is turned off.
    I can see every image with correct orientation in the Lightroom Library.
    But for 2 images when I switch to LR Develop the aspect ratio suddenly changes in film strip and large image display. The image is a 2:3 image but in Develop window it is shown as 3:2 image (not rotated but errorneously shrinked/stretched). That is really strange. I did nothing else than switching between Library and Develop! No rotation, no crop, nothing.
    I can toggle between Library and Develop window: The image is shown 2:3 in Library and 3:2 in Develop.
    This behaviour occurs for 2 images, not for all images.

    For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.
