Options passed to apps when opening from Dock vs Terminal command line

I have a much used freeware application called Aquamacs (it is a mac-specific version of the emacs text editor). If I open the application from the dock, I can not use it to "compile" .tex files written in the LaTeX markup language. However, if I start it from a terminal command line with no additional options:
/Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs filename.tex
then everything works just fine. Evidently, beginning from the dock passes some additional option that interferes with LaTeX. Does anyone know how to control what options an application gets at startup from the dock? I would even be satisfied just to know what options are passed. Thanks.

From what I'm reading, you are working towards MDT but it's not approved yet, so the goal is to:
Deploy a "bundle" of applications as painlessly as possible without using UDI to make customizations quick.
Lets talk options then.
Option 1: If machines types are in a unique OU or security group, create a collection for that and set these applications to mandatory install. After initial deployment, the provisioner can drop the computer in the proper OU or group and you're
good to go. Downside: collections refresh plus client check-in makes this less than instant.
Option 2: Orchestrator. You can write a runbook that will approve and push apps. You can then use the Orch console front end or a more friendly sharepoint/SM portal to push things out like a Manager would approve apps. Downside: if
not already deployed, there's no way they would approve that infrastructure if they are hesitant about MDT/UDI :)
Option 3: PowerShell and WMI. This should be doable ... but I've never tried it. It looks like you're headed down the right path ... but i guess my question is: if you can't have UDI when do get to pick the app? Are you planning
to write a full multi-box for them to check their apps after the fact? In that case ... just have the appcontroller URL pop up on first login ... might be easier than reinventing the wheel.

How to Use Associated App to open a file in Linux command line?

Hi all,
I know in windows i call always run:
Runtime.exec("start aPicture.jpg");in order to use the default picture viewer to view the pictures
Runtime.exec("start aEmail.eml");in order to use the default email viewer to view the .eml file
is there a simular command in linux as well? does it depend on different distributions as well?
thank you.

is there a simular command in linux as well? does it
depend on different distributions as well?In linux it's different because the handling is done by the desktop environment. KDE has it's own file associations and Gnome has it's own. There might be some way to start a file like that, but you first need to see which DE is installed (if any) and start it using that DE's method.
But I don't know how to do it, even though most likely it's possible.
Sincerely,
Jussi

After updates, mail will not open from dock

After updates, Mail will not open from dock, or from the application app in finder.

What happens when you try - anything?

Mail doesn't open from dock

mail doesn't open from dock, after I installed mavericks. Is that a "feature"?

Great news, in that case this is user a specific issue which we should be able to resolve by moving one plist.
*Note read the instructions carefully and ask quesitons if you don't understand something.
First > Create a folder on your desktop so we can backup the plist that we removing that was it can be put back if anything... Call it Dock Plist
Second > Open a Finder windows > up on the menu bar click on "Go" > Hold the option key on your keyboard and you should see Library come up click on it... This will place you inside your user specific Library folder aka ~/Library...
Third > Go into Preferences folder > locate a file called com.apple.dock.plist and drap/drop into the folder you created on the desktop
Fourth > Click on the Apple (top left) > Logout... Log back and test it. The system automatically creates a new com.apple.dock.plist with no settings so your dock will go back to default, test mail and see if that resolves the issue.

Programs will not open from Dock

I have updated my Macbook Pro with Yosemite which has led to - a lot. Programs will not open from Dock, they are just revealed in Finder. Scrolling with mousebuttons in a browser will zoom instead of scroll, the courser will not change after changing tool in Indesign. Just to mention a few problems i have discovered so far. I think I was an idiot to uppgrade to Yosemite. PLEASE HELP!

Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions, then quit DU and Restart the MBP. If that does not clear the issues, restart again holding the Command and R keys, and from Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will reinstall Yosemite but leave your content and settings intact. See if that repairs whatever is broken.

Iphone 4s new handset is damaged when opened from pack

The new iphone4s handset is damanged when opened from pack. The phone was ordered online. What is reson for the same, is it due to lack of quality check.

I suggest you take that up with the carrier that delivered the package. They are responsible for delivery and if it was damaged in delivery, they are responsible. If it doesn't seem the damage occurred because of shipping damage, then contact Apple, describe the problem and they will advise you what to do. Things happen, however, since we are users here just like you we cannot tell you how to handle the situation. I certainly can't tell you the reason it was damaged.

Small Window when opened from UWL

We are using HCM Form & Processses and our forms is approved by multiple levels
We notice that when forms are opened from Universal worklist, the window to view form appears in a 1 inch box (Impossible to view) This is also specific to certain users.. Most of other users see the form is launched in a window where we can see the content clearly.
Has anyone faced / resolved such issues? What in client machine can control the window size when opened from UWL?

Hello , We have the same issue while opening the form window in UWL, How did you resolve this issue ?

Forms Opening is Very slow when opened from Client PC's.

All,
We are running forms application in 10.1.2.0 application server. We have a peculiar issue of slowness while opening forms from client PC's and not while opening from application server itself.
1) When opening the form from a Windows 7 PC it takes around 25 seconds
2) When opening the form from a Windows XP PC it takes around 15 seconds
3) When opening the form from the application server itself it took less than 3 seconds .
In essence all forms when opened from application server are opening very fast and when opened from client PC's it takes undue time. What might be the reason for the same, can anyone help us and we are pondering over this issue for some time. What are the files of interest to be visited for these kind of issues. We enabled tracing level 5 in JRE and could not find any thing fishy over it.
Request application server and forms experts to participate and help us to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Even if it's a generic issue you need to break it down in smaller parts to actually get a clue what's causing your problem. By now there is nothing we can rule out as the only thing we know is that it's slow on the client PC's.
Building a small dummy form as suggested by Andreas is a good starting point. If the performance is also bad for a small form with one block you can rule out that it has anything to do with forms and it's caused by e.g. your network. If the small form performs well rebuild one of your forms step by step and do tests for each step. By that you should find what's causing troubles.
What you can also take a look at are network roundtrips: You have to set the console window of your forms, and enable networkstats in your formsweb.cfg
networkStats=yesA typical cause for (unnecessary) roundtrips are e.g. calls to the synchronize built in or timers. If you are using Javabeans you should also take a look at them. If you are looking at your network traffic wireshark is your friend ;).
cheers

GNOME | Desktop artifacts when switching from a virtual terminal

When switching from a virtual terminal to the graphical environment I observe artifacts on the desktop. When then I change wallpapers, the artifacts disappear. If I set the display mode for the desktop wallpapers (in the GNOME tweak tool) as “None” the artifacts don't show up at all.
How can I tackle the problem?

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3
