Open and close application at some hour.

Is it possible that Automator opens one or more applications at, for example, 3 in the morning and close it/them 4 hours later?
If possible, how can I do it?
Thanks.

What do you do if the application (Azureus) does not appear to be scriptable?
No AppleScript library for it appears in AppleScript Editor. It is a Java App. When I attempted to run the script it just times out for ever waiting for a reply from Azureus. Azureus itself sets up the spinning beachball of death.
I was hoping to simply be able to record closing the application/s by going to its menu and selecting "Close". Unfortunately, according to Macscripter, OSX applications do not support this.
Which makes me wonder why it is such an obvious part of AppleScript Editor's GUI. A cruel joke by Apple perhaps?

  • Is an Open and Close Stmt of some kind mandatory for BDC?

    If so what is the quickest way to code it? I am restricting a batch in an interface. In the same interface I unrestrict but it does not work. I am using BDC. I am thinking I may be missing some syntax for open close in my BDC.
         Thank-you

    With out open and close Group function it is not possible to create the sessioon and not possible to use the BDC session method. only when you open the session then only you should insert and close the Group.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP'.
    if Open = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_INSERT'.
    endif.
    if open = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTIOn 'BDC_CLOSE_GROUP'.
    endif.

  • ActiveX to open and close application

    I am new to LV (have 6.1).  What I want to do is open up an external application when a certain LV action is performed (like a boolean button, or something similar), minimize the LV application (will use Application Builder here), and close it when a different LV action is taken (a different boolean button, or something similar).  I need to keep the LV app running while this other app runs so I can perform other minor tasks simultaneously.  The external app needs to close so the LV app can regain control of the serial ports, among other things.
    From what I've gathered so far on LV and ActiveX, there's a set of things one can do.  Lots of stuff with dialog boxes, and other things like that built into Microsoft, and MS programs (Excel being quite popular).  This external program is a custom program.
    Any ideas?

    Well, it all really depends on the custom program and how it was written. Does it have an ActiveX interface? If it does, than that's the easiest way to go. If you put an automation refnum on the fron panel, you can right click and it and choose Select ActiveX Class>Browse. The browser will list all of the ActiveX type libraries that are registered on your system. If you can find one that refers to your custom program, then you should be able to use it's methods and properties to control. If it does not have an ActiveX interface, then things get much more difficult.

  • Trackpad is presenting a bug to open and close windows, mission control, and to move/roll the application (App) up and down.

    Totally out of the blue, my trackpad is presenting a "bug". Every time that I try to open and close my mission control, or in the moments that I move / roll up and downs the Applications Screen, my Mac freezes for less than a second.
    It never suffered any damage (NEVER!)! I am feeling very frustrated because I have no idea about what could cause such problem.

  • How to automatically open and close an application at specific times?

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to open and close an application at specific times.
    I have set iCal up to open it no problem...however, the application needs you to click yes before entering into it upon boot.
    How do I do this and close the app. I tried creating a workflow in automator, but iCal simply opens the workflow and does not play it. This also does not solve the issue of needing the 'yes' button to be clicked.
    Kind regards,

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

    hehe, I was teasing...
    I found a web page about the same problem we have: http://ipodtouchtricks.net/ipod-touch-tutorials/application-opens-and-closes-qui ckly-problem-on-ipod-touch/
    "First: You must try is a reboot or restarting your iPod Touch( iPod Touch 2G jailbreakers have to follow the boot process again). Restarting your iPod refreshes the memory of iPod Touch and chances are that your applications will be running fine after a restart. It is also recommended that you should restart your iPod Touch once in a week.
    Second: The app doesn’t meant for your iPod Touch
    Third : The app isn’t available in your country and you might be using .ipa files for installation, if you have this problem with .ipa files then try another version or latest version of the app and it might work.
    Fourth: Use applications that frees memory, i recommend a restart though.
    Most of the time, a simple restart solves the closing app problem.
    Let me know your valuable thoughts, have you ever faced this problem
    dont know if those helps...

  • Apps in iPad 1 open and close quickly

    Hello,
    My mother has an iPad 1 (she has her own itunes account) but had never synced and updated her iPad with a computer (pc or mac).
    Today I had to use it and connected to my iTunes on the pc but only to update her iOS on the iPad wich was 3.x. After the whole update process (wich went normal and smooth) almost every app that I woud open, closed imeadtly. I say ALMOST because, a few from the default apps (like Mail, Photos, Safari, System, etc) opens normaly. Though iBooks doesnt and all 3rd party apps also doesnt open normaly.
    I've tryed to reboot it one more time thinking it was some kind of strange bug or something but didn't work. The apps continue to open and close almost instantly.
    I'd like to know if anyone had a similar problem and how they solved it or if my only resource is to roll back to the iPad backup made in my pc.
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis Felipe

    Try double-tapping the home button, then holding the app icon until the minus sign appears. Touch the minus sign to kill all the apps. Then restart the iPad with the home/power buttons (hold for ten seconds) until the apple appears.

  • What is the better way to open and close connection in bean

    Hello, may i ask about the best way to open and close the connection?
    At the first, the connection code is store in Conn class bean. The JSP page will call a method in Process bean to process the query and update of database. the Process bean is using th Conn to connect to database.
    In my process bean, it have a method for each type of sql like select, insert, update, and delete for each tables. Each method will call the Conn to open and close the connection. The jsp page can simply call a method retrieve or update records.
    However, when calling the processUpdate method, it is a method that update a group of tables base on the query result of another group of tables and calculation. If I calling the query method in the same bean file, it will open and close the connection many times (more than 1000 times). After open and close the connection several times, the connection to mySQL will be fail.
    Currently, i include 2 method in Process that is only calling the Conn to open the connection and close connection. When calling the openConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to true and call Conn to open connection. When calling the closeConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to false and call Conn to close connection.
    After that, i add some change to the query method which is when the connected is false, it will open the connection by calling the Conn and close the connection themself. If the connected is true, it will not call the Conn to open and close the connection because it already connected to the database.
    Now, i when i calling the query method in jsp, it can open the connection and close the connection individually. When i call the processUpdate in the jsp, this method will calling the openConnection before calling the query and calling closeConnection at the end. It not only faster the process(less open and close), it also no cause the connect to mySQL fail error again. However, it also make the coding in the bean file more longer and complex.
    Is there have any better solution?

    Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:
