Open application via. command line with parameters - Multiple times

I'm using ANT to compile a program, then launch in FireFox ... I've looked all over for a solution to this, but have yet to find one.
I need the command to open a specified URL in FireFox... easy enough, right?
Solution #1 was to use the "open -a" command, with the URL- so "open -a FireFox.app/ http://someURL.com" ... the problem with this is that it opens a new window or tab every time- its a minor annoyance, but when you do 100 or more compiles during the day, its quite annoying.
Solution #2 is to actually launch the program executable (FireFox.app/Content/MacOS/firefox) using the argument -url and that makes it so FireFox opens the URL in the current & front-most window. This worked great the first time, second time I get an error saying "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
Anybody know how to make it so I don't have to close a window every time I compile? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Eric

If you don't get an answer here, you might try reposting in the UNIX forum. That's where the command line experts tend to hang out. Good luck.

Invoking Forms 6i application from command line with parameters

Hi,
I have a java application that requires to start up and execute an existing Forms 6i application.
I am not a java person, and I could not find any help regarding this. If anyone knows how to execute an fmx(6i) from within a java application, then please let me know. The java application has to pass in parameters so that the the Forms application opens up with the correct data.
One alternative suggested was that the java application execute a command line invocation of the Forms application. I am looking for the correct and complete syntax to do this. The fmx can be invoked from the command line with the following entered at the dos prompt -
c:\>OraFrm6i\Bin\ifrun60.exe<module name> <userid/password@db>. This works fine and the Forms application is executed.
The requirement is to pass a couple of user defined parameters to the Forms application which can be used by it to query the database and display the correct information when it opens.
Any help on this would be greately appreciated.
Thanks
Shailesh

Shailesh,
Create a parameter in your form - eg. COUNTRY_CODE and add any startup code.
Then add the parameter to your command line (or put it in a *.bat file)
c:\>OraFrm6i\Bin\ifrun60.exe<module name> <userid/password@db> country_code=UK

Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

Hello,
I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
"CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
ie
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
edit:
Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
Thank you.
Message was edited by: v604

Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
Hope this helps.

Slow processing time, via Command line, with Reader

I'm using Reader 9, via command line, to process PDFs in a 3rd party application and it's taking much longer to process files this way than with Acroplot or Ghostscript. Is there a way to improve this processing time?
thanks

Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
/logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
I am definitely having a beer this evening!
Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

Running reports via command-line with /batch option

Hi,
I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
Contents of batch file:
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
/connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
/open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
/sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
Problem:
The first reports runs and exports ok.
All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
! Could not open file. OK
Question:
Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Command line with flash magic

Hi :
I want to control on flash magic application using command line with Labview, I look into this application and I see that I can send through command line all I need
Please read what they said aboue using command lines
Before you can run FM.EXE on the command line you must set up your PATH environment
variable to point to the folder FM.EXE is stored in. This is done automatically during
installation, however you must restart your machine before the change to the PATH variable
is recognized when using Windows 95/98/ME. You must restart your machine or log out
then back in again before the change to the PATH variable is recognized when using
Windows NT/2000/XP.
Commands are passed to FM.EXE in the form or either directives or a Command File
containing directives.
The command line will have the following syntax:
FM [directives]
For example the following command line:
Description: Specifies the PC Serial (COM) communicating
Type:      Configuration

Hi CofeeBreak,
Thank you for your comment, but I was able to find the problem (didn't solve it yet): In the FM command line interface, calling a HEX file located in a folder with brackets in its name, such as "C:\hello_World(V1)\LabVIEW.hex" will not be recognized by the FM.exe, whereas "C:\hello_World_V1\LabVIEW.hex" will work just fine. In the Flash Magic GUI and Command Line Manual section on hex files there is no mention of that, my solution at the moment is to remove the brackets from folder names.
Thanks

Add protocol args with quotes via command-line

I am creating a small script to insert objects into the SGD databases (ENS) via command-line and perl. I have some difficulties with protocol-arguments which require quotes (").
For example:
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella object new_windowsapp --name "o=applications/cn=new_winapp" --width 600 --height 800 --protoargs "<protocol-arguments>"
The problem comes when I need to add multiple protocol-arguments with quotes like: -dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory"
Can someone tell me how to add those arguments including the quotes?
Thanks,
Remold Krol | Everett

Try to use the single quote ( ' )
say, for instance
protoargs 'dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory" '
That works for me.

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

Running report from command line with multiple value for same parameter

Hey,
I know how to run a report from the command line specifying parameters values each time but I was wondering if someone could tell me how I would go about running the same report multiple times in a batch program but specifying a list of values to pass to a parameter each time.
So for example if a parameter was 'School Number', how could I run a report in a batch program that would pass a school number to the report as a parameter using a list of school numbers generated for a sql statement or something. So if I had 300 school numbers in my list then I would get 300 different reports when the batch program finished.
This leads me to another question. How can I dynamically change the name of the report generated by the batch to use the school number value passed in, so for example if the value 3 was passed in the name would be something like School 3.pdf, if 4 was passed in the name would be School 4.pdf....etc
Any help on this?
Thanks

How do I remove Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin via command line?

How do I remove the lotus notes PDFMaker plugin via command line? I originally deployed Adobe Acrobat 10 as a complete install to many computers. I see how to remove this specific feature through the GUI in Windows 7 by going to control panel / programs and features / Adobe Acrobat X / change / modify / create adobe PDF / acrobat PDFMaker / Lotus Notes, but this would be a tedious task to do manually at each computer. I've experimented with a few msiexec commands after removing Acrobat such as:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" remove=pdfmakerforlotusnotes
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" disable_pdfmaker=yes
Both still install acrobat as a complete install. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Sabian, that did the trick. Here is the command line I used for anyone else having a similar issue:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" REMOVE=PDFMakerForLotusNotes /qn
I did this on a test machine with a complete Acrobat installed. I ran the above command and it removed the Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin. I should also note that it didn't downgrade my version of Acrobat and all of my custom settings within the application are still there.

[SOLVED] How to Crop an MP4 Video via Command-line?

I have ffmpeg, mpg123, and mencoder. Does anyone know of a way I could use any of those to crop an mp4 video via command-line? I am trying to take off the black space above and below a video. Thanks in advance!
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-04-12 00:12:57)

I don't think it's possible to crop without re-encoding, but you can crop from the command line with ffmpeg and mencoder. Not sure about mpg123 - I think that's for playing audio but I could be wrong there.
Anyway, with ffmpeg you can do cropping by using -croptop, -cropbottom, -cropleft, and -cropright. So if you wanted to crop 16 pixels off of the top and the bottom, your command line would look something like this:
ffmpeg -i <input file> -croptop 16 -cropbottom 16 <video encoding options> <audio encoding options> <output file>
With mencoder you use the "crop" video filter, like this:
mencoder <input file> -o <output file> -vf crop=320:208:0:16 <other options>
where the "320:208:0:16" means that the resulting picture is 320 pixels wide, 208 pixels high, and the 0:16 is the x,y position of the cropped area.
These command lines are just really very basic examples - ffmpeg and mencoder have a LOT of options. Way too many to explain here. If you don't believe me, just try reading through the mencoder man page sometime. (There's an online version of it at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html)
Hope this helps!!

Turn on "Real-time preotection" via command line

Hello!
We have a cient without networking resources and I need to turn on the "Real-time protection" which is currently in OFF state.
How can I do that via command line?
I tried to review the "mpcmdrun" command but did not found proper switch to turning on this service.
Regards,
Tamas

You could do a regedit command to silently import a .reg file with the setting in it:
create a .reg file from the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Real-Time Protection
Name: DisableRealtimeMonitoring
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0
Then import it silently with this command:
regedit /s C:\ExamplePath\Example.reg
You could also do a PowerShell command:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Real-Time Protection' -Name DisableRealtimeMonitoring -Value 0

Adobe AIR Application Installer command-line

Could someone provide the command-line reference (parameters
and usage) for Adobe AIR Application Installer?
Tks!

Hey Oliver!
I've applied for an AIR distribution license but I still have
some doubts.
My application is based in one .air component and another one
service created using C++. So, in order to install my application,
I need to install both applications. I've used the bundled
installation mentioned in the distribution docs, but it is not the
best solution for my problem. I would like to have just one entry
point in the “Add/Remove Programs” applet.
Is there another way to deliver the .air application (e.g.
not using the Adobe AIR Application Installer)?
For example, is it possible get all files needed to create my
.air file and install them without creating the .air file properly?
I mean, is there any license or technical restrictions that
invalidate this approach?
Thanks!
