Packagemaker: need to run applescript from postflight script

Does anybody makes packages using Packagemaker? I need to run applescript from postflight shell script. Generally, when we need to run applescript or any application from shell script we write:
#!/bin/sh
open /Path/to/applscrpt.app
But what to do if all scripts (shell, app's) placed in MyPackage.pkg/Contents/Resources? What path I need to specify? This way:
#!/bin/sh
open ./Contents/Resources/applscrpt.app
doesn't work...

The $1 argument that gets passed to your postflight script by the Installer should contain the full path to the package that's currently being installed. So something like this should work...
#!/bin/sh
open "$1/Contents/Resources/applscrpt.app"
Here is some additional info about args and environment variables available to your scripts.

Running AppleScript from Mail rules

Hi.
I'm pretty new to this, so sure it's a basic question....
I've created An AppleScript that calls an Automator application. This runs fine if I open the script in the editor and click run.
I've now created a mail rule which should run this script if a mail is received with defined subject, but it doesn't....
Whatever I try, it's just not running the script.
Any help?

Yes.
tell application "iTunes"
quit
end tell
delay 60
tell application "iTunes"
activate
end tell
Change 60 seconds in delay to the delay you need.
(still might not work as a Mail Rule, but give it a try)

Local Intranet App needs to run app from web page

I have a vb.net executible app that resides on a group of users on our local network and I want to integrate an ASP.Net website that is also local to our internal users so they can select an item on the web page and it would open the executable passing in
a parameter to the app (the vb.net app currently accepts these command line parameters I want to pass in).
I have tried several types of examples ranging from ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell") in JS to Response.ConetentType in code behind. Although there are several posts saying you can run the shell command, I am not having any luck. All users have Win
7 Pro with IE8 and IE10.
I know this is not a good way to do this, but I need to show a proof of concept, and just need to show it can work. I would like to ultinmately create an Accelerator of Add-in that could do this properly.
Can anyone provide some help please?
Here is snippets of code tried:
code behind page with Grid of records:
Private Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
    Response.Clear()
    Dim AppPath As String = "\\\\MyPC\\MyShare\\Winforms.exe"
    Dim TestApp As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(TripleAPath)
    Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "filename=" + TestApp)
    Response.TransmitFile(AppPath)
    Response.End()
End Sub
And here is the js scriptmanager example I am trying to run from a button click. I get error about shell failure:
Specifically automation error cannot create object, and here is the line in break mode:
<script type="text/javascript"> function OpenApp() {var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); ws.Exec("g:\\Winform.exe");} </script>
And here is the code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    ' Define the name and type of the client script on the page.
    Dim csName As [String] = "ButtonClickScript"
    Dim csType As Type = Me.[GetType]()
    ' Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
    Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Page.ClientScript
    ' Check to see if the client script is already registered.
    If Not cs.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(csType, csName) Then
        Dim csText As New StringBuilder()
        csText.Append("<script type=""text/javascript""> function OpenApp() {")
        csText.Append("var ws = new ActiveXObject(""WScript.Shell""); ")
        csText.Append("ws.Exec(""g:\\Winform.exe"");")
        csText.Append("} </script>")
        cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(csType, csName, csText.ToString())
    End If
End Sub
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Click to open App" onClick="OpenApp()"/></p>

Hi Daniel,
this forum is for questions about html, css and scripting for website development.
I have a vb.net executible app that resides on a group of users on our local network and I want to integrate an ASP.Net website that is also local to our internal users so they can select an item on the web page and it would open the executable passing in
a parameter to the app (the vb.net app currently accepts these command line parameters I want to pass in).
I think an ActiveX control or a hosted WBC in your VB.net app are the only viable solutions.

Need to run RemoteDesktop from JSP file, WebServer Running in Linux.

Hi All,
i want to run a RemoteDesktop(.RDP) from a JSP page, webserver is running on Linux.
Like i am having abc.rdp file, when i am invoking this file from the jsp, it is displaying the content of the abc.rdp file.
instead of that i am using MIME, following is the snippet i am using.....
String filepath=path+objId+".rdp";
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filepath);
System.out.println(" filepath "+filepath);
byte[] bytes = new byte[fis.available()];
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
fis.read(bytes,0,bytes.length);
javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream Pout = response.getOutputStream();
//String string = new String(bytes);
//Pout.println(string);
Pout.println(bytes);
Pout.flush();
Pout.close();
fis.close();
the above code is asking me to save the .rdp file. But i want to run the .rdp file directly without asking me saving option.
Your Views and Suggestions are valuble to me....
Thanks
Chiranjeevi.

you need to configure the web browser to associate that particular file type with the appropriate action

Need to run popup from pl/sql process with a twist

I am trying to do the following:
User comes in and selects a date/time for a process to be started at a certain station. User then goes to click create button. Either on the exiting of the date/time picker or the click of the create button, I would like to run a process to determine if there is already something scheduled for that time/station. If there is already something scheduled, I would like to alert them to the fact and confirm if they want to shift the exiting item around and have the just entered item go in it's place..
Trying to do this in APEX 4.02, Oracle 11g database..
Thank you,

Luis,
Thanks for the input.. What I am trying to do is this:
User comes into page and selects a item to process, then a workstation and a start time & end time for the processing
After the start and end times are selected I am developing a dynamic action to alert them if a process is already scheduled
** NOW ** here is where it gets interesting.. If a item is already scheduled, the want to bump that item from that time & workstation and put the just entered item into the schedule.
I am looking at a dynamic action, but do NOT yet have the knowledge to do multiple things in it (Only if this is a NEW item):
I know how to query the table to confirm if there is already and item with the workstation & start-end time period
Need to see how to generate a popup (confirmation) to confirm they want to bump the existing entry
I know how to generate the update statement to update the existing item.
Thank you,

Beginner needs help running internet from Airport to Airport.

My fathers laptop has the internet running through ethernet connection. i want to be able to the internet to run through the airport card to my apple mac upstairs which has airport card too.
Now ive set up a serve and both computers are reconizing each other, on the internet connect it says computer to computer. When i check the internet status the airport card on my fathers mac gives a green signal but the computer upstairs has a yellow signal. i cant seem to share the internet connection. what am i doing wrong?.

It sounds like you need to either disable the firewall on your father's Mac or open port 443 on the firewall on the AirPort side. A tool like WaterRoof might make it easier.
The longer you use this setup the more of these issues you will discover. That is why I recommend that you get an inexpensive wireless router and eliminate all of these issues.

(CS3 JS) script runs differently from Scripts Panel vs. ESTK2

First things first: INDD CS3 / Javascript
I have a strange thing happening and am wondering if y'all have run into this as well. I have a fairly simple script (primarily just find/change queries). It works like a charm when running it from ESTK2; however, when running it from the scripts panel within INDD, it skips two of the find/change queries inexplicably. 90% of the script works the same, but there are two sections of the script that seem to just not fire.
And yes, I have made double-sure that I am running the same script and that the one I am running from ESTK2 and from INDD are the exact same, saved versions.
Is there a fundamental difference between running from the scripts panel and firing from ESTK2? I ran both on the same template, then undid each step-by-step, and it appears that both times the script ran the queries in the same order; however, when it hit a certain spot in the script, one version (the one fired from ESTK2) shows where the text was deleted, and the other looks like it did nothing.
Is this something that any of you have run across as well? If necessary, I can post the code; however, I figured at this point, I would just ask the general theoretical question of why there might be a difference.
Thanks!
Matt Hollowell

Thanks for the response Kasyan and Peter. I was beginning to feel like that lone person afflicted by some rare scripting illness. I am going to try and solve this later today. I am thinking maybe I need to target INDD with a statement or define an application specific variable or something to ensure that the script "knows" what it is supposed to be doing when run from the scripts panel. I am still confounded why it would run differently, and all I can think is that when it is run from ESTK2, it understands something inherently that needs to be specifically defined when run from the scripts panel.
The other strange thing is that 90% of the script works as expected; it's just two specific find/change arguments that seem to get skipped.
If I can figure out what is going on, I will post here, in case someone in the future runs across a similar problem.

Script runs differently from ESTK and Scripts panel

Recently I was reported about a problem with one of my scripts, that packages ID documents: a guy wrote me that when he runs it from ESTK, script works fine, but when run from Scripts panel — creates empty folders, does nothing more but generates an error (there's an error handler in the script that logs errors into a text file):
Error: Invalid value for parameter 'versionComments' of event 'packageForPrint'. Expected String, but received TRUE.
It's strange, because I don't use this optional parameter in the script.
BTW, on my computers it works ok, both in ID and ESTK.
Does anybody encountered this problem? Any ideas on why this happens?
Kasyan

He probably has his scriptPreferences version set to 5. To make your script foolproof, you should probably set the scriptPreferences yourself (and restore them when you are don to be nice...)
BTW, kAppVersion = parseFloat(app.version) is a more readable form for getting the version number...

Executing create or replace procedure statement from plsql script

I want to execute create or replace procedure from pl/sql block without using execute immediate or dbms_sql, please let me know if feasible.

Actual requirement is I have .sql file which has Create procedure command in it

Won't work. The PL/SQL code block (also called an anonymous block) is shipped from the client (e.g. SQL*Plus) to the database server. There it is parsed and executed.
It cannot execute SQL*Plus code.
There are 2 basic approaches to address this requirement.
Method 1. Use PL/SQL and SQL to perform the conditional logic checks that SQL*Plus cannot. Use bind variables to "copy" the results between SQL*Plus and PL/SQL, use substitution variables to execute the conditional branch (as a script) in SQL*Plus.
Basic example:
SQL> --// bind variable for passing data to PL/SQL code and
SQL> --// to receive data from PL/SQL code
SQL> var status varchar2(100)
SQL>
SQL> declare
2          function ExistsTable( tableName varchar2 ) return boolean is

SQL> Method 2. Move all "client scripting" to the server. You can still use .sql files. These need to contain valid DDL that can be parsed and executed. On the server, the .sql files are loaded into a table.
This can be a physical load (e.g. using <i>DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile()</i>). Or you can keep the .sql files on the server and use BFILE pointers instead to the files.
You can now use execute immediate to execute the contents of a .sql file as a CLOB that was read from the table containing the .sql scripts.
To be honest - I have used both methods extensively in the past and no longer bother using either. Table exists when running the table create script? So what. If the table should not exist, use server exceptions in SQL*Plus to cease processing and exit. If it does not matter whether the table exists or not, why be concern with running the script to create the table if the table already exists?

Run application from console

Referring to Steve Muench's example of Using ADF Data Binding from a Simple Console Program here http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2005/05/25.html#a558.
Can anyone tell me how to actually run it? I want to run it outside of Jdeveloper - do I need to run the setvars.bat script? If so what arguments do I need to pass to it?

Nathaniel,
stand alone java programs typically are executed by
java -classname
or if they are in a package that has a default run target
java -jar packagename
Did you look at Steve's example?

His sample client should have a main method that makes it runnable.

Displaying an alert (Applescript or otherwise) from shell script?

I have a point in a shell script where I'd like to put up an alert dialogue on a particular error condition. The script runs in the background and doesn't have a terminal window. I tried writing a little applescript that uses the applescript alert command and call it using osascript from my shell script, but it doesn't work. If I enter "osascript ~/myscript.scpt" in a terminal window, I get the error message "/Users/Ted/myscript.scpt: execution error:No user interaction allowed. (-1713)" (If I run myscript.scpt from the script editor it does what I want it to do.) Any ideas? I suppose I could have my shell script create a file in some folder and have my applescript be triggered as a folder action, but that seems pretty roundabout!

Thanks -- I apologize for not doing a more thorough search! Yes, that comes very close to addressing my need, but I have run into one difficulty. If I run my shell script from the terminal (pasting it in) everything works fine. If I run it as a packaged app (with Platypus) everything works like it's supposed to, except that the alert applescript (it's just a one line script) briefly flashes the alert dialogue when it's supposed to and then dies, rather than waiting 10 seconds or until I click OK. I'll have to experiment and see if I can tell what's going on.

Packagemaker: need to run applescript from postflight script
