Launch application according to script/question result

Hello
I would like to install an application via ZENworks, but I need to ask the user if he wants to install it or not?
Can I ask this to the user in a script and then launch another application (or the same) only if the user selected 'Yes' for example? or is possible to do it another way?
Thanks

See the docs:
"Script Engine Location The script engine determines the script commands
and scripting language you need to use. If you do not define a script
engine in the Script Engine Location field, Application Launcher uses the
Novell ClientTM as the script engine (if the workstation has the Novell
Client installed), which means that you can use most Novell Client login
script commands."
Ie, leave it blank and it will use the Client login script processor.

SGD - Fails to launch applications

We are having a problem with SGD - we can not launch applications.
We have SGD 4.2 running on a Solaris 10 server.
We had SGD up and running good. However, we had several things occur and now it does not work. First we had to relocate our server due to building renovations. Then shortly after setting up the system in the new location, we had a hard drive fail. And unfortunately the sys admin guys did not have a good/current backup of the drive. We did however reload a backup that was about 9-months old. However it does not work correctly now.
We can bring up the main SGD web page, can login to the system, and see the applications and function set up in object manager. However when we try to launch an application it fails.
Looking in the error.log file we see a message "failed to open display"
However we can not see how SGD sets the display to enable the application to be viewed over the web connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It is a good thing to have as much help as possible. One of the other SAs working on the problem entered his google search a little different and came up with this hit: (http://blogs.sun.com/malhar/entry/sun_secure_global_desktop_tarantella -- text below) that fixed our problem. Thought I would post it here for the next person who runs into the same problem.
Sun Secure Global Desktop (Tarantella) "DISPLAY variable not set" error message?
If you've been facing a problem with the erstwhile Tarantella, now Sun Secure Global Desktop (SGD), where you get don't see X applications opening up when you click the link, you're in luck.
I have the solution.
If you are fast enough to click on the "Show Details" button before the application loading window opens and then closes, you will see in the logs that the application cannot open because it finds that the DISPLAY variable is not set.
Also, if you read the documentation, you will see that the admin guide explicitly asks you to NOT set the DISPLAY variable which gets set automatically. So where's the problem?
What you need to do is this:
1. Open the /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tarantella script in your favourite text editor
2. Look for TTASSHCLIENT (this is usually commented out)
You will notice that the line will look something like this
#TTASSHCLIENT="";export TTASSHCLIENT
3. Uncomment the line
4. Add /usr/bin/ssh -X inside the quotes on the line to make the line look like this
TTASSHCLIENT="/usr/bin/ssh -X";export TTASSHCLIENT
And restart!
That's it. You're problem is solved. I accept your thank yous in advance

Launch Application Issue - Somebody with Automator experience please

I had created an Application in Automator that was working until recently. I am running Snow Leopard with all updates.
The entire application works, except for the "Launch Application" macro. The last step in my Application is to Launch the Front Row app.
Although my automated application works, every time I run this, I get the following message:
The action "Launch Application" encountered an error.
Check the action's properties and try running the workflow again.
When I look at the log, I get the following:
Launch Application failed - 1 error
Front Row got an error: Application isn't running (-600)
Like I said earlier, my automation works, I just get this error every time. I have even tried just creating a 1 step "Launch Application" workflow and get this same message. However, if I try to launch other programs, it works.
Any help would be appreciated.

ok i made such workflow. I do get an error although front row launches. I'm not sure what the deal here is. but you can always do it by simulatiung th keyboard shortcut to launch front row. the default one is command+escape. you can use the following "run applescript" action to produce it
<pre style="

Launching application from consoleone alarm disposition.

Hi!
I can't get this to work. I enable launching application for a certain
alarm but nothing happens. For example i've tried starting notepad when a
system: nlm loaded alarm arrives. But nothing. And i can't find a way to
debug this either....
Forwarding snmp traps and sending smtp works btw.
I run ConsoleOne locally on my machine and i enter the path to the
application as: c:\progran\applicationdir\application.exe
Thanks

Hi Tobias,
The alarm action is done on the management server- so you have to
configure Netware Server Actions.
Please check the
docu:http://www.novell.com/documentation/...a/acqbya8.html
will give you:
Launching an External Program
As part of editing the disposition of an alarm, you can set options to
automatically launch any program on the Novell ZENworks Server
Management server when an alarm is received. For example, you might want
an alarm to launch a program that sends a message to the system
administrator's pager.
Although ZENworks Server Management provides the capability to launch
applications, the product does not provide any predefined programs.
However, you can launch an NLM and run scripting routines or use
third-party programs.

Directing to the application according to the browser

Hi,
I have two applications deployed in Oracle AS wireless 10g under oc4j_wireless container. One deployed application is for PDA browser and another for Web browser. My question is whether Oracle AS wireless is smart enough in direct it to the appropriate application according to the browser? if yes, than how to do it.
If no, than what peace of code in my application i have to write to achieve this.
I am using XHTML MP as a markup language and simple java classes in writing business logic.
Pls help me.

That's "Nope, I don't know how", rather than "Nope, I'm not telling you" by the way. If I knew how, I'd be happy to tell you
By the way, you've got a few unrelated questions live here at the same time. Can I give you some advice? Concentrate on getting one thing working before trying something else. You'll save yourself an enormous amount of time

Quick script question

Hi all,
Could anyone advise me if i can add anything within - header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html'); in the script below so as the page
re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
Thankyou for any help.
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';

$message .= '' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '');

Mr powers gave me that script so im rather confused at this point in time
I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
<?php
$suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
exit;
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
exit;
?>
Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.

Click on bank estatement link brings up launch application. Safari doesn't do this.

I recently switched my financial work from Safari to Firefox because I am still on Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and, according to a recent web article, Firefox will provide better security than Safari, now that Apple has quit security updates.
When I drill down to this particular bank's link to view the estatement, the Launch Application box shows up. I tried Preview and Firefox. Preview does nothing and Firefox crashed.
I do not have this problem with another bank. I normally do not download estatements.
How can I avoid this nuisance (I went back to Safari to view this estatement).
Thank you.

This issue is resolved for me; I no longer get Firefox's Application Launch window.
I set the Application Preference for "Portable document (PDF) to "Preview in Firefox". This works nicely for most of my estatements: a statement display without a download. Oddly, one estatement from a particular bank causes "What should Firefox do with this file?" The choices are to "save file" or "preview with default". A download happens in either case. (After printing the file I move it to Trash and do a Secure Empty Trash.) Finally, a particular quarterly estatement does not download and displays in a new window, which I presume is under the financial institution's site control. So, out of 6 various bank estatements, only one seems to require a download.

Unique Script Questions-timed startup?

Hello All,
I am long time mac fanatic with some unusual script questions. I have a project ongoing where I will need to put my pb 15" in a remote location with a Canon camera. Canon has transmitter device which will allow me via ethernet to ftp to my pb.
Here's essentially what I need to the script to do and I am trying to find out just how feasible this is. I need my laptop to bootup to receive photos via ftp at a certain time period. The camera will send to the builtin ftp software. Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour. Once time has elapsed I need the script to connect to the internet via a broadband EVDO card. We are using one of the EVDO cards built in to Tiger. It then must ftp a folder of images to a remote server.
Simple, huh? : ) I am running Transmit as my ftp software. I believe it is scriptable and will watch a folder to send.
Any ideas? I'd love to hear them. I can be reached via scott at scottaudette.com.
This setup is going be used in very cool photo location but I can't publicly announce where.
Scott
G5 and PB 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

'Transmit ... I believe it is scriptable' - yes it is. Go to How can I use AppleScript with Transmit? to download sample 'Transmit' scripts.
'Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour.' - well then, save the script as a 'stay open' application, with an 'on idle () ... end idle' handler - with a return of (60 * 60) seconds; and then drag the saved application onto the 'System Preferences' 'Accounts' 'Login Items' tab's list - of the user which the Mac will boot to (when turned ON).

AppleScript to mount network share & launch application fails on computers

Hi All,
I am trying to write a script that I can place in the dock that will perform two actions. The first action is to mount a sharepoint, the second is to launch an application.
I have been very successful at doing this on my iMac (Intel). The script works under any user.
However, I have a lab of 26 Mac Minis (Intel) and the script won't work!!
Here's my script (it's simple!):
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://ok-xserve-01.mpcsd.org/Apps" as user name "[user]" with password "[password]"
end tell
launch application "Type To Learn 3"
Of course, I replace the items in brackets with their appropriate values.
I save the script as an application. When I try to run it on any of the Mac Minis, I get the following error message:
'"afp://ok-xserve-01.mpcsd.org/Apps" doesn't understand the <<event aevtmvol>> message'
I've tried it w/o "as user..." and also in the form of "afp://user:pass@server/share" but all returns the error message above.
I even logged in as the user on one of the lab computers, created the script, and it ran! As soon as I logged off and logged back in, it stopped working.
These systems, along with my iMac, are bound to an Open Directory & Active Directory, and authenticate via Active Directory.
I can log in as the lab user on my iMac, and the script will work every time I launch it. It'll work as any user on my iMac.
Any ideas? If you need more info let me know!
Thanks!!

Try putting in the command "delay 30" before the other lines. It delays the script for 30 secs...OSX needs to load before running the script

Java - Unable to launch application

The problem: When I try to run ASDM on my Cisco 5550, I'm getting the dialog box "Unable to launch application". When I click on "Details", I see the error: "The application has requested a version of the JRE (1.5+) that is not installed".
The system I'm running this on is a Mac Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5, and the latest Java version 7u13.
The initial lines of "show ver" on the firewall are:
# show ver
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(2)
Device Manager Version 6.3(3)
This is a relatively new problem; as recently as two weeks ago I was able to run ASDM with no problem. I suspect that the latest security-related Java updates have caused something to break.
Any ideas?

Solved this one on my own: The solution was to install the latest ASDM, 7.1.1_52. (This had occurred to me, but I didn't know if was compatible with the older ASA 8.2(2). It looks like it is!)

What launch application do I choose to upgrade to os maverick

I have an Imac with os x 10.6.8 I am wanting to upgrade to maverick, but it is asking for a launch application? What am I supposed to select?

Since you seen not to know too much about upgrading software and knowing where to do this,
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I would strongly advise having, at least 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck!
