Launching NAL from login script AND startup?

We are about to upgrade from Zen 3.2 to 7. Part of the process involves ensuring the clients launch NAL with a /NOUPDATE switch. (The NOUPDATE switch must be used to ensure that Zen 7 agents are not accidentally back-rev'ed during the upgrade process.) We currently have deployed the script-based method to launch the 3.2 NAL, but still have many desktops that either launch with a batch file or through the Startup group. (Too many to visit on a timely basis)
I want to know if subsequent launches of NAL.exe WITHOUT the /NOUPDATE switch override the settings of the original one launched in the script. If launching NAL from Startup without switches doesn't override the one in the login script, I won't need to worry about hitting each of these machines before we begin deploying the Zen 7 Agent.
Does anyone know if NAL refuses to launch again if it already is detected in memory?

Off the top of my head, I dont know the answers to your question, but
when I went through this process I just moved and renamed all the NAL
related files from the PUBLIC dirs so the ZEN7 Agent could not become
back dated.
The existing 3.2 agents kept running from the local PC like always and
after the PC was upgraded to ZFD7 there were no files in PUBLIC from
which the PC could accidentally get old files.

Hello Mac heads.! I just downloaded Onyx for tiger. All went well. But I try to launch onyx from my applications and it doesn't offer checking the S.M.A.R.T. status so I can check my disk. Everything else appears. Uninstall only, forums, website etc.

I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Missing user from login window at startup

I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago and have had a problem with a user I migrated from Mavericks. The user won't show up in the login window at startup but will once I login with a different user and then logout back to the login window. How can I get my migrated user to show up in the login window at startup?
I did a clean install of Yosemite and then used Migration Assistant to move over my old user from a Mavericks install. My original plan was to import my old user's Document and other data directories and copy them over to a new user's home directory so that my data would be available but I'd clean out old application settings by not moving that as well. Due to how Migration Assistant worked and my disinterest in diving into the details to make this work, I ended up using the migrated account instead.
Here's the problem, the migrated account was using a different home directory path than I preferred ("user_migrated" rather than "user"). I modified pertinent settings in the advanced configuration form available in the Users & Groups preference pane. Everything appears to work fine, except this user does not show up in the login window when I first boot up the machine. If I login to another user, then log out, my migrated user appears and I'm able to login.
I've looked around in Users & Groups and checked settings, but I'm not seeing any difference between my migrated user's settings and other user's (who does show up in the login window) settings.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share!

Found the answer in a post from 2012:
User accounts not appearing in login window
The problem was the migrated user was not authorized to unlock the disk. This is easily fixed by opening up FileVault settings and enabling the missing users.

How to invoke from UNIX script and pass back return code?

Though I am an experienced developer, I am new to java. I created a class containing a single method. I have performed my testing by running the class class.method from the command line in a UNIX (Solaris) environment. Now, I would like to have the class.method invoked from a UNIX shell script, and to return a success/failure indicator from the method, to the UNIX script. I modified the method to make it return char, rather than being defined as void. Within the class and method, I declared and initialized a char variable. I added a finally clause which contains a single return statement, returning the char return code variable. Within my UNIX script, I invoke the class/method as follows:
return_code = java myClass
This does not seem to be invoking the method however. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Or is more information needed in order for someone to help me out.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Brad

stdunbar,
Using your suggestion of System.exit(retVal); seems to allow the java method to be performed successfully (Thank You). But I am still having a problem with the value being recognized by the shell script.
In my script, I'm doing the following:
java MyClass inputparameter > return_code
export return_code
echo $return_code
But return_code does not seem to contain a value. Just before the System.exit(retVal); I added System.out.println("return code = " + retVal ); and I can see that retVal. When I run the java method outside of the UNIX shell script, I can see that retVal does indeed contain a value. So I think my problem might actually be the code in the UNIX script.
Thanks again.

Calling the DTExec from Perl Script and need to get the Return Value (Sucess or Failure)

I am able to execute the SSIS Package from Perl Script using DTExec. But i need to get the return code of the SSIS Execution. Is their any option available to get the Success or Failure information from Perl ?

Exit codes returned from dtexec utility
When a package runs, dtexec can return an exit code. The exit code is used to populate the ERRORLEVEL variable, the value of which can then be tested in conditional statements or branching logic within a batch file. The following table lists
the values that the dtexec utility can set when exiting.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231187.aspx
There's a wrinkle if the package is running in the SSIS Catalog:

Processing input from .swf script and sending result

Hello;
I am slugging through the processing of data posted from an Flash based form. I have a dev server that uses php to
process input.
The php script produces the following test php file variable array:
$input['VE'] = 't';
$input['A'] = 't';
$input['ML'] = '5.1';
$input['SA'] = 't';
$input['SV'] = 't';
$input['PT'] = 'External';
$input['DEB'] = 't';
$input['DP'] = '72';
$input['AVD'] = 'f';
$input['PR'] = 't';

$input['OS'] = 'Mac OS 10.5.7';
$input['AE'] = 't';
$input['V'] = 'MAC 10,0,2,54';
$input['ACC'] = 'f';
The following is the .as code
var versionString:String = Capabilities.version;
var pattern:RegExp = /^(\w*) (\d*),(\d*),(\d*),(\d*)$/;
var result:Object = pattern.exec(versionString);
if(result != null)
       trace("input: "+ result.input );
       trace("plateform: "+ result[1]);
       trace("major version: "+ result[2]);
       trace("major version: "+ result[3]);
       trace("build number: "+ result[4]);
       trace("internal build number: "+ result[5]);
else
    trace("unable to match regular expression");
var url:String = "http://192.168.1.7/asHandler.php";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = new URLVariables(Capabilities.serverString);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(request);
The Question:
What do all the variables sent to the server mean in this context?
And, is there a tutorial focusing on form handling with Actionscript 3.0?
Thank you for info, etc

I finally got the answer to this. I found it in the Action Script 2.0 and 3.0 reference documents
under capabilities.

Login Script and map command

Hello,
This is the first year we are using NSM wide spread. In the past I would just add a map command to the storage location for the half dozen or so classes using NSM. Now I have close to 80 classes using NSM.
All storage is loaded in the same area, "classroomstorage" each class has it's own subdirectory under this location; Enghish 8, Math 7, and so forth.
If I set a map command to the root directory "classroomstorage" I get and 8804 error. Because the students do not have rights to the root of the directory structure.
Is there anyway to set a single map command? Would appling a read/write trustee assignment and a IRF to the "classroomstorage" directory allow mapping yet not allow everyone to see all the other folders?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Allen

You need to give the teachers rights to the classroom storage via the
policy template and the -owner- methodology provided by NSM, in
conjunction with the owner attribute in eDirectory.
thanks,
NSM Development

Doing a thread dump from a script?

Does anyone know if I can do a thread dump from a script and it will output it
to standard output instead of the weblogic logs? If so, how?
I want to script something, but it going to the weblogic logs is kinda a pain..

Weblogic 7Frank,
You can supply THREAD_DUMP as an option with weblogic.Admin and script
that out. When you say "and it will output it to standard output" I'm
a little confussed, the output goes to the server's stdout by default,
do you mean stdout from where the script is executed?
~RyanMy weblogic startup script >> outputs to another log file...when I use the THREAD_DUMP
option in the weblogic.Admin class, it dumps it to that...However...what I wanted
was to write a separate script to use weblogic.Admin and output to STDOUT of that
script....Is that possible.

POST request in a login script

I have a strange problem when the variables that are passed to a PHP script dont get recognized in an equal statement. The java code :
tring value, value2;
     try {
     BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     URL url = new URL("................./admin.php");
     URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     System.out.println("Enter your username");
     value = stdin.readLine();
     value = URLEncoder.encode(value, "UTF-8");
     System.out.println("Enter your password");
     value2 = stdin.readLine();
     value2 = URLEncoder.encode(value2, "UTF-8");
     System.out.println("Acessing the ECHO server script");
     PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
     out.println("username="+ value);
     out.println("&password="+value2);
     out.close();
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     System.out.println("Retrieving data");
     System.out.println("");
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
         System.out.println(inputLine);
     System.out.println("");
     in.close();
     catch (Exception e)
     System.out.println("Error: "+e);
     System.out.println("Processing Acomplished");In case somebody wonders, this is part of the php script
if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password']))
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
echo $username;
echo $password;
if ( $username == "1" && $password == "2" )
echo "CORRECT";
else
echo "INCORRECT";
}Now, the script successfuly recieved my data, and prints it back. However, whenever i try to check if the value is "1", for example, it always evaluates to FALSE. I am completely lost, because the script print back 1, and then says that 1 != 1
I know it looks like script problem, but im almost sure that its not.
Maybe the data that java post's is encoded differently or something, and the script cant really "interpret" it. Did anyone else encounter any problems with login scripts and java ?
Sorry if this is a lame question, i'm just beginning....

I know it looks like script problem, but im almost sure that its not.I'm almost sure it is. Check that it's not comparing the string "1" to the integer 1 or something. But the way you present it the problem is almost certainly in the PHP rather than the Java.

Calling java from csh scripts

I have recently come across certain projects where Java has being used as an alternative for scripting purposes. What I am trying to say here is that making calls to java programs from csh scripts and these Java programs are merely doing trivial/sql tasks which could have very well been carried out in a scripting language itself. and then Java calling some scripts so ending up with a chain of Java calling scripts which call Java and so on.
It has been my understanding all along that such a design would not be something recommended, and there should be a separation of concerns and a clear demarcation between Java and the scripting code. What however I am struggling with is finding some articles or papers supporting this thought and I would greatly appreciate if some you have something you would like to share preferably an article, supporting or negating such a design.

Actually my original post was a reply to Saish. But thanks for the input. It's good to know that you extend TDD to scripting as well, but most of the scenarios I have come across thats not been the case. Whether thats the lack of test tools/libraries like JUnit or JMock for csh scripting or the user's frame of mind of getting things done, I am not sure.There's no need for such tools. Even in Java et al, test harnesses can be hand-whittled. JUnit is just Java code, after all. Test harnesses for scripts are no different. As an extremely basic example, you might a file that picks up everything from one directory, run a sed application against it, and dump the results in another directory. Writing tests for that is pretty easy; start with a couple of sample input files, and expected outs, apply your script, do a diff on the resut against the expected outs. Granted there isn't a nice UI to give you a green bar with shell scripts, but you can still get a list of pass/fail stats. Groovy scripts, of course, can be run in an actual JUnit runner.
If you're finding it too hard to test scripts, like perhaps there are too many different flows of execution through the script, it's worth considering whether the task-at-hand is really a scripting job at all. The sweet spot for scripts is gluing together the stuff that performs all the complex logic.
What are the best practices recommendations for such a scenario, I am sure there much be something about it or some pattern or anti pattern dealing with it and some review of such an implementation. Don't you think so?I hope so! I've been tasked with documenting a scripting standard written by another developer, finding references to cite and such-like. There do exist coding standards on the web for scripting, shouldn't be too hard to find something useful. As for reviews, I expect simple peer review by someone else who knows scripting is about as good as it's going to get.
I'd add that logging plays an important part in scripting, just as it does in your "real" code

Passing parameters from shell script to OWB process flow

Hi all,
I am running OWB process flow (using the template script provided by oracle) and i want to pass two date parameters as shown below:
sqlplus -s $SQL_USER/$SQL_PWD@$ORACLE_SID @$HOME_DIR/src/vmc_oem_exec_script.sql OWB_OWNER VMC_POST_DW_PF_LOC_SIT PROCESS VMC_NM1_PORT_MAIN "," "P_DATE_FROM=$DATE_FROM,P_DATE_TO=$DATE_TO"
How do i catch those values in process flow and pass those to mappings in Process flow?
Do i need to create PF variables with same names or any name will do?
Thanks in advance

This document is explaining how to pass data between activities in process flow.
I am passing parameters from a shell script.
Any ideas,how to pass parameters from shell script and then initialize the process flow variables based on those values and then pass them further to mappings.
Thanks

Import from sl-script

Hi,
I was looking for a method to import a mapping or other objects from sql-script and found this nice sample:
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/newsItems/viewFullItem$132
unfortunately it seems to deal with an older version of OWB and I can't find such an import function in 10.2.x
can somebody tell me how to import an easy sql-script into OWB ?
Actually I am looking to build an easy DML-statement as a mapping, but can't find a method how to force the mapping performing only this particular operation like 'delete'.
1 idea was to use lookup operator to do something easy like this:
delete from tab_A
wehre TAB_A.col1 in (select col2 from tab_B)
But in OWB even easy things become pretty complicate and I can't find, how OWB must be driven to do such an easy operation.
thanks for any hint, LaoDe

Hi LaoDe,
you may access source records with lookup operator - you can link fields from source table and from lookup operator to the same input group of any operator (for example FILTER or JOIN, etc.).
In your case I recomend you to use splitter with three output groups:
1) first group - for matched records for update TAB_A (condition - primary key of lookup table IS NOT NULL);
2) second group - for not matched records for insert into TAB_ERR (condition - primary key of lookup table IS NULL);
3) third group - for not matched records for delete from TAB_A (condition - primary key of lookup table IS NULL).
So you should use TAB_A in this mapping three times (as source, as target for update, as target for delete).
Don't forget to set target order loading (delete operation from TAB_A must be last).
And maybe set Commit control to Correlated.
Regards,
Oleg
