Launchd: how to make a script run every weekday?

I'm trying to make a script run every weekday as a LaunchAgent. Is there a way to do this like you could in cron?
Here is the relevant portion of my LaunchAgent plist:
<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
<dict>
<key>Hour</key>
<integer>9</integer>
<key>Minute</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>Weekday</key>
<integer>3</integer>
</dict>
I have tried changing the Weekday integer to 1-5 or 1,2,3,4,5 but neither worked. It only works with a single integer. Do I have to create 5 separate plists for each weekday?
Any ideas?

Thanks VK, for others who are looking to do something similar, here is the relevant part of the code to make the command run every day (since that field is missing) at 7:00pm and 7:01pm:
<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Hour</key>
<integer>19</integer>
<key>Minute</key>
<integer>00</integer>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Hour</key>
<integer>19</integer>
<key>Minute</key>
<integer>01</integer>
</dict>
</array>

Have a bash script run every time an application is opened.

Hi,
On my Arch box I would like to have a bash script run every time a certain application is opened from the menu. I would prefer a delay of a 5 - 10 seconds after the program opens if that is possible. Could someone please let me know if and how I can achieve this?

Problem is, OP wants the "meat" of his script to run after the program, which would mean putting it after the exec. But AFAIK, anything after the exec will be ignored. You could call another script to run in the background before the exec, but that seems hackish.

How to make a JApplet run in a Browser

HI ALL:
Can anyone tell me how to make a JApplet run in a IE.
I am using JComponents and Visibroker for JAVA ORB for connecting to another ORB's which would in-turn connect to a C++ Server and finally to the SQL Server.

I have been having exactly the same problems but I was using JDK 1.2.
I discovred the problem could be resolved by using the Plug-in on navigaor or IE and bingo it was perfect.
I also discovered that using the AppletViwer would allow me to see the applet. Then I upgraded to JDK1.3 or 2 or whatever it is and nothing.
I recompiled the classes using the !.3 still nothing. The applet vewer don't work and the plug in don't work.
I tried to recompile using the oldjavac ( I assume 1.2) and nothing I do will make this JApplet run. Ordinary a�pplets are OK. Applications with swing are OK, but JAPPLets are dead
I have come to the conclusion SUN has screwed up big time and are frantically scrabbling about looking for a fix. I have reveert to javascript/DHTML as this is both consistent and stable and for considerably less effort and aggravation you can get 90% of the functioonality.

Hi Hookso,
You can do it using the different loops like While loop and For Loop. Roderic has already stated how to do it using a for loop. I have illustrated in the attached vi how to do it using a while loop and Elapsed Time function. Take a look.

How to make Attribute Change run alignment & Hierarchy changes in Aggregat

Hello
I want to understand that How to make Attribute Change run alignment & Hierarchy changes in Aggregate?
I posted previously the same question but there were not good answers and i was not able to understand clearly .....
If there is Process chain XXY which makes Attribute change run for Master Data 0SPELLING ?
Now there is Aggregate TRT which includes :
0SPELLING , Fiscal Period , Purchase Product, Purchase Category ?
Now pls answer following question ?
1) Does the Process Chain XXY which makes only attribute change run alignment for 0SPELLING , Will this process chain automatically do the Change run alignment for 0SPELLING in Aggregate TRT ? YES or NO
2) If Yes, then we are just suppose to do Roll up for Aggregate TRT after Process chian XXY completes and finish job ?
3) If No, then what steps are suppose to be DONE so as to make sure that Aggregate TRT has new values and perfect values for 0SPELLING ?
Please answer and coorect if i have any wrong question....

for e.g.
u have 0spelling whicha has attributes x,y and z on day 1 with 10 records
so do ur aggregates on day1 with same values
now on day2 u had new values of attributes y,z,s,d and new hierarchies and so u add new records
with data load u will load the data with version M of modified and is not available for reporting
If u do attribute change run then this modified version is activated to A i.e. active version .
It will also do the change run alignment for Aggregate for new attribute values and new hierarchy values for aggregate.
now in order for this data to be available for reporting u will need to do the roll up of aggregate.....
if u roll up aggregate before attribute change run , new data is not avaialable for reporting
if u roll up aggregate after attribute change run, then data is available for reporting
if u dont roll up aggregate eventhough new data is in dataprovider, still new data will not be available for reporting.
this is how it works

How to make a script for a terminal command

I need to find instructions on how to create a script to automatically run the following Terminal command;
Sudo chmod 755 /private/var/spool/cups. It will also need to include the admin password as you will be prompted to enter it after the command line is entered. Apparently the only way to get Quark 7 to print adobe pdf's is to open a terminal window and type the command every time the machine is rebooted. This is a temporary fix and I do not want the MAC users to have to type the command.
Thanks
Sal

This Script works here. Get you the error, when you save or checks the syntax?
When you use in AppleScript the entry with administrator privileges, is sudo optional. This says only, if everyone can use the sudo command inside of the 5 minutes limit without to write the password again or not.
The Syntax do shell script "sudo chmod 755 "private/var/spool/cups" password "***" doesn´t work, because you need the entry with administrator privileges for the execution as privileged user.

How to make my script ignore pages 1 and 2?

Hi all. I'm a complete beginnger at all of this so thank you in advance for all you're help, I really appreciated it.
I have a JavaScript that I've been working on, and with help from people on here it's working really well. I uses a combination of GREP expressions and checks the entire document and then applies pre-made Character Style that have been set up in the InDesign Templates. (By the way I'm using CS6).
My latest problem is that I don't want this to affect page 1 or 2 as the templates are layed out in spreads so these are the front and back cover.
Is there a way I can get the script to ignore page 1 and 2?
If not, I thought another way round would be to only have the script run on highlighted text, but I'd prefere to just ignore pages 1 and 2.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Scorpio

Hi Scorpio17523 and Kai,
> As far as I know, it is not possible to search for specific pages?
My guess is that you can, in fact, use Pages.itemByRange(2,-1)... in order to reach a valid plural specifier that holds a findGrep (or changeGrep) method—like TextFrame or Paragraph. This is a powerful way to run a GREP query in a single command.
Say you want to apply some character style (MyCharStyle) to every word that begin with a 'A' or 'a', considering all textframes except those of page 1 and 2 (i.e. index 0 and 1). This can be done in a single pass without any loop, as shown below:
// Your settings
var GREP_PATTERN = '\\<[aA][\\l\\u]+';
var CHAR_STYLE_NAME = 'MyCharStyle';
// Variables
var doc = app.activeDocument,
    cStyle = doc.characterStyles.itemByName(CHAR_STYLE_NAME),
    target = doc.pages.itemByRange(2,-1).textFrames.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem(),
    nr;
// Set GREP, and run!
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = GREP_PATTERN;
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = cStyle;
nr = target.changeGrep().length;
alert( nr + " expressions have been changed." );
The important part is:
target = doc.pages.itemByRange(2,-1).textFrames.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem()
This allows to filter page indices 0 and 1 inside the specifier. As a result, target is a 'plural' Paragraph object which represents every desired text and can then invoke its changeGrep() method.
Note that we could as well invoke changeGrep() from a plural TextFrame—i.e.: ...textFrames.everyItem()—but the GREP command will lead to a runtime error if some textframe of the collection is empty. That issue does not occur if one extends the specifier to ...paragraphs.everyItem()—unless all the frames are empty!
Hope that helps.

How to make powershell script.

How to make script that copy content from notepad to other notepad and reverse the text?

If you mean a .txt file then there's three aspects to your question.
Open a file and read the text
Reverse the text
Save the text into a new file
For point one, this technet article is good:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692806.aspx
For point two you could turn the text into one or more strings, then convert those into arrays, loop through them and then re-assemble them. This article shows you most of that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692804.aspx
And finally you need to save that text as a file, there's lots of ways but the Out-File cmdlet is the simplest.
This might also be of use:
