Launching different programs from a central one

Is it possible to get to one a separate from the one that you are working with?
If it is, how do you do it?

Can you be more specific about what I need to do with
that.You can google on it. There are several tutorials/articles which explains how to use Runtime.exec.
(You want to google on e.g.: java start process runtime.exec)

[Solved] Launching Graphical Programs From The Terminal

Occasionally I launch graphical programs from the terminal and they usually spit out what they're doing in the background, I know you can send this output to /dev/null but is there a way to have that is the default setting (ex. not having to type &> /dev/null each time) and then somehow turn console output back on when I want to debug something? I tried creating an alias but that didn't work.

Adobe Updater requires password when I launch any program from the suite

It is very annoying, but not a destructive issue.
When I launch any program from Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (6 programs) the Adobe Updater pops out and asks for a password. I can either provide a password and proceed, or deny the password and still proceed with the program.
Is there any way to stop the Updater from popping up?
I have it on my two machines Mac Pro (2x 2.66 GHz, 11GB RAM) and Mac Book Pro (2.33 GHz, 3GB RAM).
I am sure that there is some settings which I simply overlooked. Can anyone point it to me?
I would appreciate that. Thanks.
Jack

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

Launching External programs from an addon cause Client to stop

Hi.
We have an add-on that allow via configuration to launch other programs/files from SAP (Remote desktop, PDF-documents, etc.).
Launching other processes from an add-on is easy with the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(file, arguments);
This has worked since SBO2004A, but since we began working with SBO2005A SP01 launching external programs cause the SAP Client to freeze every 5-10th time or so...
Nothing except stopping the add-on-process works.
When the add-on is terminated the Client "Wakes up" to inform that add-on has been disconnected.
Anyone else have had a similar problem?
<i>Kind Regards
Rasmus Wulff Jensen | http://www.b1up.net</i>

Regarding the thread, I whought about it, but since it is a process.Start, it a whole different process and threads should not have anything to do with it...
As always, yes I've created a message for this.... And got the normal response from SAP Support "We cant reproduce the issue... please send sample code"... sigh.... Hate random error that can't be reproduced... and sample code is hard to produce when you have created a whole framework above the SDK... I almost never do any "Core" SDK...

How to launch a program from Director?

Hi, I'm new to Director.
I want the user of my Director movie to click on a button
that launches Adobe Acrobat and a help file (external to the
Director movie).
How do I do this?

I have a similar question... can Director be used to launch a
program? I understand that you can tell it to open a file, in which
case the default application is automatically launched, but can you
give it a specific command line to execute?
I have SCALA MM200, and it can execute command lines from
within Windows, but as I recall it wasn't a very seamless
transition between the presentation and the launched program. I
hesitate to keep using MM200, since it was designed for Win 98/NT,
but rather than buy new software it might be best to stick with
what I've got if it still works under XP.
Seems to me a lot of current "multimedia" software is great
for animations and presentations, but there's little consideration
for creating a true GUI with it that will do stuff outside of the
presentation itself. I suppose I should go with VisualBasic or
something like that, but my programming days are 20 years behind
me, and there's still the issue of buying new software (unless VB
is free, which I doubt).
I plan to try MM200 under XP, but if it doesn't work, or
doesn't perform quite as I'd like it to, it would help to know that
Director could work. However, if there's no way to execute a
specific command line, it probably isn't the right choice for me.
A quick summary of my planned application is to present a
menu of choices to the user, and then execute certain programs
depending on the choice. The presentation will probably hide in the
background while these programs run, so another consideration is
avoiding any conflicts. The programs are video game emulators, and
certain options are set in the command line, so simply telling
Director to open a game file may not work, even if the emulator is
set as the default application to open that file. I'll still need
to pass certain command line switches to the app, and I'm not sure
I can do that in Director.
Thanks in advance for any help! :) (I never visit the forum,
so it's best to e-mail me at [email protected])

Can ANT just launch my program from a browser without apache?

Or do I need to learn how to use the Java Web Start.
I'm just trying to find an easy way to launch the program for people.

I have a GUI swing app that I built and have a jar -- im new to all this and was trying to figure the easiest way to present the program to people.
I wrote a batch file to open the app and that worked ok, but wasnt sure if this ANT stuff would allow me to present a link from a browser to launch the program.
I KNOW that java webstart might work, but havent learned about that either.

Launching windowed program from getRuntime().exec( )

hello,
I have a tomcat web app that launches media player from getRuntime().exec(mediaplayerExecutable). It works fine when i run tomcat manually (startup.bat) but it only plays audio when I run tomcat as a service. when i look at the error messages for media player process, it complaining about "direct3d video output error: Could not read adapter capabilities"....
I believe it is execution context issue. any idea? Thanks in advanced.

Services in Windows must not have a user interface.
If I remember correctly, there are special loopholes that (native) Windows services go through to get at least some user interaction, but by default you can't interact with the user via the UI at all.
This seems to go for applications started from services as well.
But why would you ever want to start a video client from a service? Or a application server at all?

Can't execute a DOS program from a Java one

Hi everyone !
I'm a student, working as an apprentice in a company, and I have to make a program to execute faster some daily routine.
Here's my problem : I'm trying to execute a DOS program (mkisofs.exe) whick takes numerous arguments and enables me to create an ISO file.
But, for now, I can't manage to make it work. I've used both Process and ProcessBuilder, but in vain (I'm a student, and not really a JavaProgrammingStar).
If I would manually execute the command, I'll have to type under DOS the following command :
"C:\Documents and Settings\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\mkisofs.exe"   -r -J -l -L -b "isolinux/isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux/isolinux.cat" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\ISO\toto.iso "C:\Documents and Settings\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\Clonezilla"or (without spaces)
C:\docume~1\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\mkisofs.exe   -r -J -l -L -b "isolinux/isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux/isolinux.cat" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\ISO\toto.iso C:\docume~1\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\ClonezillaTill now, I've only managed to execute windowed program such as MsPaint.exe or DOS program from System32 directory such as taskkill.exe, but I couldn't execute, for example, tasklist.exe, or at least, I couldn't see the result of this command.
Can anyone help me ?
If some code is needed, jsut tell me.
Thanks by advance !
Hubert

Ok guys, I'm French, so excuse me if I didn't use the correct terminology, but I'm quite sure you understood that I was talking about MS-DOS command prompt in Windows XP.
Then, of course I've STFW, but none on my tries was successful. So a little help would be appreciated.
I've first tried this :
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe", "/K", "mspaint.exe");
                  pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
                  try {
                      Process p = pb.start();
                      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                      try {
                          String rep = in.readLine();
                          System.out.println(rep);
                      } finally {
                          in.close();
                  } catch (IOException e) {
                      e.printStackTrace();//repTF.setText("erreur");
                  }It worked.
But this :
String CMD = "C:\\docume~1\\myName\\Bureau\\Current\\Local\\mkisofs.exe";
String arg1 = "-r -J -l -L -b \"isolinux/isolinux.bin\" -c \"isolinux/isolinux.cat\" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4";
String arg2 = "-boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\\ISO\\toto.iso C:\\docume~1\\myName\\Bureau\\Current\\Local\\Clonezilla";
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(CMD, arg1, arg2);
                  pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
                  try {
                      Process p = pb.start();
                      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                      try {
                          String rep = in.readLine();
                          System.out.println(rep);
                      } finally {
                          in.close();
                  } catch (IOException e) {
                      e.printStackTrace();//repTF.setText("erreur");
                  }does'nt.
What's wrong ? I should use a String table for args ?

How can I prevent two different profiles from interfering with one another?

I have a serious profiles problem. I created a new profile with Profile Manager and then copied a well-established profile's contents into its directory before starting the new profile. Now, when I start either profile, it contains whatever tabs I had in the previously opened profile. I deleted a bunch of tabs and a window from the new profile but when I opened it after having opened and closed the old profile, the tabs and window reappeared. If I open some tabs in the new profile and then close it and open the old profile, the tabs appear in it, and vice versa.
I open the original profile through a shell script:
<pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1"</pre>
I open the second one the same way but with the <i>-no-remote</i> parameter:
<pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1 clone" -no-remote</pre>
Why do the two profiles collide like that and how can I prevent this from happening?

Are you using Sync then ?
Or are you setting a bunch of tabs as the homepage ?
If you cloned a profile they will start off the same and that will include the set of open tabs from the file ''sessionstore.js'' however profiles are independent and so should have there own sessionstore and History once they have been used.

Launch Wine programs from menu: FIle not Found

I have installed eMule with wine, and get the "File not found" message when running it from the menu.
This was discussed in THIS thread, but none of the possible solutions work for me
Original:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/daerunarch/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/daerunarch/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/eMule/eMule.lnk
Doesn't work
Edited the menu entry with alacarte:
wine 'C:\Program Files\eMule\emule.exe'
doesn't work
wine '.wine/drive_c/Program Files/eMule/emule.exe'
doesnt' work
wine "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/eMule/emule.exe"
doesn't work
wine "/home/username/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/eMule/eMule.desktop"
dosen't work
Also all the previous begining with "env WINEPREFIX=" instead of "wine". Nothing worked o_0 What should I try now?

Call Program from an other one

Hallo,
I wonder if it is possible to call a standard Programm from my Report without leaving it. I have created a docking container that docks itself on each new Dynpro. Now if i call an extra Programm i don't have the d.container any more. I would like to see the d.container on the Dynpros of the new Programm as well. Is it possible?
Thank you very much,

Running child programs from a Parent one...

Hi everyone it's the newbie again.
Is it possible to start a seperate flash application from a main flash application. I really want it to be like how a messenger works... where the chat window is independent of the parent program and the user can minimize it or move it around the screen. I also need to be able to pass variables to the "chat window". I am thinking about using something like fsCommand maybe.. but I would also like the child window to be a swf and not exe file.
What I got is a parent program that will be responsible for child programs. The child programs will be started using variables that the parent initializes the child with (flashVar). The child window will be similar to chat windows such as Yahoo messenger.
Again I appreciate all the help this forum has given thus far. You guys are a lifesaver!

*Tip: If you want your project to stop growing in size or complexity, get your boss to take a vacation .

Hey everyone,
I am figuring to do it the VB / Flash way. Thanks for your assistance on alot of stuff. - Stan

Launch a program with different variant in one time

Hi,
User have to launch all day x times the same transaction but selecting an other saved variant a each time.
Is there a program or transaction which can be used to launch a lot of program - variant in one time ?
Thanks a lot
Regards

You can use a ECATT testscript to automatise it.
It can launch different variants each time and how many times you want.
Follow the documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d4/80023c59698908e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">link</a>

JDBC connection to two different machines from the same program

I want to use JDBC to connect to two different databases that are on two different MySQL installations on two different machines.
One of the installations is MySQL 4.1.12 and the other is 4.1.14-nt
For some reason, all my statements seem to be going only to one machine, even though I am very clearly set it up to go to two different machines.
Does anyone know whether connecting to two different installations from one program presents any unusual problems?
Thanks.

Unless there is some horrible defect in the MySQL JDBC driver (which I doubt!), there should be no problem and like the other poster says, please post snippits of your code so we can see what your doing...

Calling one java program from another

Hello,
How can I start another java program from one? Lets
say I want Second.java to start by calling it from
First.java. How do I do it? The two programs are given
below. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Amanda
First.java
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class First
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Process theProcess=null;
          System.out.println("Hello World from First.java!");
          String second=new String("Second.java");
          //System.load(second);
          //Runtime.getRuntime().load(second);
          try
               theProcess=Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "Second.java"
               System.out.println("after exec");
          catch (IOException ioe)
               System.out.println(">>IOException thrown in
First.java while calling
Second.java."+ioe.getMessage());
Second.java
public class Second
     public static void main(String[] args)
          System.out.println("Hello World from Second.java!");
}

Thanks, warnerja
What if Second.java is on a remote machine i.e.
First.java and second.java are on different machines?
Will I have to use RMI?Well, you'd have to do some kind of remote invocation. Depends on what kinds of apps house the classes. There are all kinds of ways - web services, servlets, RMI, (maybe others...)
That's a totally different question than what you originally posted, and would have been very relevant to say so in the first place.
