Mac OS X start up in a command line unexpectedly

Please this is really urgent.
My mom will kill me when she finds out that I must have done something wrong to her Powerbook!
I restarted the computer after trying to play a movie file, nothing special, just an .avi file with VLC player. Then I restarted the computer, because the system preferences was always giving an error when I tried to get the speakers from the other computer (a G4 Cube) to work.
So I restart and .... wham! I get the usual login screen with my mom's name and her picture, which I can click on if I'm quick, but nothing happens anyway, and all of a sudden I get a Darwin (or something) screen in command line (like when a Windows computer starts up). The screen does something with an IP firewall and then I get the text "Logon:"...
I can type the username and password fine, I can 'log on' but then what? I can't see my good old aqua interface anymore? I can't load OS X? I just want everything back to normal! Please help me, all my mom's work is on this computer!!
Thanks alot!

O.K I read around in some other topics and this topic describes my problem well: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=320663&tstart=30
Only difference is I think I can log in with my username and password.
These are the system.log readouts - forgive me for some spelling errors, I was writing really fast:
localhost syslogd: /dev/console: Input/output error
localhost init: kernel security level changed from 0 to 1
localhost Directoryservice[195]: Launched version 1.8.4 (v258.2)
localhost loginwindow[191]: Sent Launch Request Message to DirectoryService macht_init port
localhost loginwindow[191]: Login authorization failed (-60008)!
localhost loginwindow[191]: AuthorizationRef doesn't have a username (<LoginAuthRefMgr: 0x448ba0>)
localhost loginwindow[191]: exiting to console
Hope this can help solve my problem?
Thanks.

  • Starting file sharing at command line

    How does one start personal file sharing from the command line? I'd like to do this remotely. The command /usr/sbin/applefileserver does not work inspite of web posts to the contrary. Thanks.

    OK, I found something. On the Mac from which I want to export, ps -A doesn't show AppleFIleServer when it's started from the command line but does when started from the GUI. On a brand new Mac, on which I wanted to mount the share, the process shows up regardless of how its started. (I had turned off both firewalls when I did this so I may come back to this question....) Both systems are 10.4.4. Any ideas? Can I selectively reinstall this package and if so, how?
    The only thing in system.log is the call and no error:
    configd[29]: executing /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer
    BTW the sharing GUI does update the status of applefilesserver daemon although I seem to recall that controlling apache with the command apachectl doesn't update the Web Sharing GUI. anyway....
    Thanks for your help.

  • Restart/start/stop network from command line

    Hi all...
    How do I restart/start or stop my network from command line? I red somewhere about using netstart, but I guess the article was refering to OpenBSD and not OS X...
    So.. any hints?
    Thanks.

    Hey You are right there...
    OKK..To my knowledge, you can start an application, from the servlet in a thread. But stopping a thread from outside is not safe and even sun doesn't advice.
    1. Starting a thread : you can start your program using an Runtime class. But your client program can see if the server port is open or not. So after starting the server program, through servlet, execute the client program. OR you can log every command/step in to a log file, and start the server program and see the log, where currently the program is waiting, so you can check, if the server program has exited.
    2. Stoping an application i.e a thread is a tricky thing. One i would suggest is, send data to the server socket with your pass code and the command "Shutdown" with a sequence which will not repeat in the data communication. If the first command is your passcode and "Shutdown" you can kill the server thread from inside the server application. To make this possible, every thing the new connection is accepted, you have to validate the first line is this your command to shutdown.
    and repeat the step 1.
    Hope this gives you a little idea to proceed. if not let me know...
    Cheers

  • Error starting managment server from command line

    I tried to start the managment server from the command line like this:
    <jvm_home>/bin/jrcmd <pid start_management_server
    and I'm getting the following error:
    <pid> Not enough storage is available to run this command
    The system has plenty or resources. I'm unsure what storate the command refers too.
    The pid was found by using tasklist /svc at the command line to find the pid matching the domain service name.
    this is jrockit 1.42_13

    What operating system are you on? What is the complete version of JRockit ("java -version" will tell)?

  • Use frmweb.exe to start a form from command line

    Following the following doc "start any Oracle Forms component from the command line"
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.f1_help%7Cbldr_dev_opts%7Cstart_fb_comps_cmd~html/
    I tried the following two command line
    D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmweb module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
    D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmbld module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
    The frmbld successfully brought up the forms builder and open the orders forms.
    But the frmweb did not bring up anything. I wonder if there are other parameters I need to provide rather than just module and userid......
    I looked into the html of the form applet, and wondering if passing all the parameters would be sufficient enough for the frmweb to start
    <PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
    VALUE="escapeParams=true module=c:\files\orders.fmx userid= sso_userid=%20 sso_formsid=%25OID_FORMSID%25 sso_subDN= sso_usrDN= debug=no host= port= buffer_records=no debug_messages=no array=YES obr=YES query_only=no quiet=yes render=no record= tracegroup= log= term=">
    So I did this from command line, but still nothing.....
    D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmweb.exe escapeParams=true module=c:\files\orders.fmx userid=scott/tiger@r12 sso_userid=%20 sso_formsid=%25OID_FORMSID%25 so_subDN= sso_usrDN= debug=no host= port= buffer_records=no debug_messages=no array=YES obr=YES query_only=no quiet=yes render=no record= tracegroup= log= term=

    That is a bug in the documentation. You can only start Forms from a URL starting from 9.0.2.

  • Starting an application using command line arguements

    Hi All,
    I need to launch an application by passing command line arguements. How to go about it?
    Thanks
    Sakthi

    is this an application you've written, or one you've downloaded? the two ways I know of to run an app from the command line are to use the 'open' command (e.g. +open -a appName+), or to run the exectuable element directly (usually something like /path/to/appName.app/Contents/MacOS/appName). the open command doesn't have an option for passing parameters; running the executable directly will allow you to pass parameters unix-style (assuming the executable is designed to accept them), but doesn't always run the application the same way as double-clicking on the file.
    you can also try applescript (from the command line use osascript) if the app is scriptable.

    Can someone be a little more detailed then the post above about this situation?
    I am experiencing an issue when trying to "test" dispatchers in my IDM installation which is Linux RH Enterprise with Oracle11g database...
    I keep getting the message  "C:\usr\sap\IdM\Identity Center\MxService.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
    The service-scripts have been regenerated after setting java variables and exist as Dispatcher_Service_idmdispatcher.bat, ".prop, ".sh - I am assuming my Windows 7 Workstation (client) is attempting to use the *.bat file when I test?
    Googling for possible resolve lead me to this thread and I *think* were mentioning editing the bat file which causes the script to not use the MxService.exe  I am unsure exactly where or how to add those lines above (given my different configuration) to resolve the issue by not using MxService.exe (this file doesn't even exist on my system....)
    Any assistance provided is greatly appreciated!  I have attached my *.bat file just renamed extension to make it possible. remove "_" replace with "t"

  • Cannot start compute emulator through command line in c# /devfabric

    Hello,
    I have been trying to get the compute emulator to start through c# and had no success.
    I am calling /devfabric as my argument
    my process is csrun.exe and I include the username and password for my computer and the verb "runas"
    I also have the app.manifest  <requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />
    I also tried making my process cmd.exe with all the above admin options and call the csmonitor.exe to try to make it start as admin so I can use /devfabric later
    But no luck I get this error message:
    The Compute Emulator had an error: Compute Emulator needs to be launched with administrator privileges in order to run in full emulation mode. Please restart the emulator with correct privileges
    I have no problem with starting the storage emulator with /devstore and I can start the compute emulator manually but I need a way to start it through code.
    I am using:
    Windows Azure 2.2
    Windows 8
    Visual Studio 2012 ultimate
    Thank you.

    It felt like I had to add a password and username to the process before starting it since I need admin rights. but removing that part was what fixed it
    What was causing it to ask me for admin rights when I put in the name/password? 

  • How do you either set "Show More Tiles" or Start Screen rows via command line or script for Windows 8.1?

    Is there a method to change the Start Screens number of rows (similar to Windows 8.0's use of the Explorer\Scaling\MonitorSize in registry). Possibly by forcing the switch for "Show More Tiles" via script etc? This is to enable the device with
    Windows 8.1 to be built using a deployment methodology like SCCM and have the Tiles correctly configured as required for a standard look and feel across devices. I do not know why all these switches are not represented in either WMI or the registry to enable
    the customization of look and feel out of the box for enterprise deployments.
    Thanks for any assistance possible.

  • Show specific workflow process name started by batch through command line?

    I have created a batch to start up a workflow process
    "start task for component WfProcMgr with ProcessName=\"xx Import Promotion Rule\", RowId = $1"
    may I know if I can have any means to know the status of task and showing which processes I kicked (i.e. xx Import Promotion Rule)?
    Many appreciations if anyone can help.

    Have you listed the tasks?
    There will be one for WfProcMgr and most likely complete or in error.
    Just list all WfProcMgr to filter the others and you should get what you are looking for...
    Not really sure what you are trying to do precisely so I hope this helps

  • How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

    Hello. 
    My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype.  If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory.  On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running.  If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.   
    Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
    Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
    Any ideas? 
    Any advice is appreciated! 
    Thanks!
    nedson :?:

    Thats what I thought...
    What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory.  Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) .  After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux).  How can I call it out of memory?  I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login.  I just simply want to call it from the background...
    Any ideas?

  • Starting Managed Server using Node Manager Command Line

    Hi,
    I've configured the Node Manager and it is connected to the Admin Server without problem. Now I wanted to start the Managed Server through the console but it is failing and my guess is the command line used syntax is not correct.
    My question is, how do I change the command line that Node Manager uses to start the Managed Server? I've try using the Server Start tab configuration and it seems like not working. I've also try to update the .properties file for the Managed Server as well.
    Each time I look at the Managed Server logs, it is giving me this line...
    NodeManager> <Starting WebLogic server with command line: <....>
    The command line shown in the logs are not what I've put in the .properties file or the Server Start tab. It is taken from somewhere and I'm not sure where. I just want to configure the command line that Node Manager uses to start a Managed Server.
    Hopefully, I'm clear with my problem and someone might be able to assist. Thanks.

    Great stuff!!
    It actually solved my problem. Thanks.
    Am just wondering why it didn't work using option 1)? If anyone somehow knows the reason, if not at least it did work for me now.
